 Wedding dress can be made from many fabrics.  In the winter months you will have the option of silk, satin or taffeta among many others.  You will need to try on many dresses to see which fabric feels the best against your skin.  Many people wrongly believes that when it comes to taffeta.  People are reminded of high school proms or hideous bridesmaid dresses from the eighties.  Taffeta can really be very soft and very refined.  You will find that even some of the most well known names in bridal fashion such as Carolina Herrera  and Vera Wang are now using taffeta quite masterfully.

Once you have finished deciding on a fabric for your dress you will have to decide if you want an overlay or not.  If you are going for a more vintage feel then you may decide that lace would look just lovely over your dress either just on top or bottom or over the entire dress.  If you wish to sparkle then you should talk to your dress maker and see about having crystals sown into the dress to echo the pattern of falling snow. Also, You may want to be more glamorous and have faux fur put onto the neckline or around the hem of your dress. 

Options of sleeves can be some cool ideas for your winter wedding bridal gown during the winter months.  When you are walking to and from the ceremony you will highly likely have to go outside.  To keep warm you may want to have sleeves added to your dress.  You could have detachable sleeves that you could take off during the reception or else you could have permanently add sleeve to the dress.  If you are adamant about not having sleeves at all then you should look into getting a wrap.  There are full cape designs that you can wear and look just like Whitney Houston in the movie the Bodyguard.  You could have a fur stole that you wear on your travels during the day.  If you can knit then you may want to make a wrap to keep you cozy during the day.
