Who doesn’t love a winter wedding!
Such a romantic backdrop — twinkling lights, cosy venues, and that magical chill in the air. It’s the perfect time to lean into fabrics with texture, elegant prints, and deep, jewel-toned hues that bring warmth and sophistication. And guess what? Our New In collection is full of show-stopping jacquards, satin, and textured maxis + midis that are wedding-guest worthy.
Why Jacquard & Textured Fabrics Are Perfect for Winter
- Rich visual interest: The raised patterns and woven motifs in jacquard or brocade catch the light in a subtle way, so your dress looks luxe without needing heavy sequins.
- More structure: These fabrics hold shape better than lightweight chiffons, which is great when layering or wearing a coat over.
- Seasonal elegance: Texture helps a dress feel “winter-appropriate” even if the silhouette might otherwise suit multiple seasons.
When leaning into texture, balance it with smoother accessories (like satin heels or sleek clutches) so nothing competes.
Our Absolute Favourite Winter Wedding Hues
- Emerald & forest greens
- Wine, burgundy and oxblood
- Deep chocolate, caramel, espresso browns
- Moody florals (dark stems, rich petals)
- Plum, aubergine, merlot
These shades pair beautifully with gold or bronze metallics, rich leather accessories, and neutral outer layers.
Our Staff Picks
Here are some standout pieces from our new collection that our team just love, and fit perfectly into this winter wedding guest mood:
Kim’s (our founder!) Pick: Halsey Tie Back Maxi Dress | Brown Textured
This design features jacquard fabric with a glamour neck-tie and an open back detail. Available in a limited edition green.
Styling tip: Let the richness of the chocolate shine by pairing with muted gold accessories and a champagne clutch. A warm camel coat draped over shoulders will elevate the look.
Rachel’s Pick: Tara Floral Jacquard Maxi Dress | Wine
A romantic wine version of your tara jacquard style — full of texture and dramatic elegance and with a really great price point!
Styling tip: Keep the accessories in warm neutrals (nude or tan heels) or add a pop with muted blush or rose gold jewellery. A faux fur shawl or wrap in taupe or cream keeps it wintery without going too dark.
Sharon’s Pick: Thelma Floral Textured Maxi Dress
This piece leans more into “texture meets floral” — a subtle floral texture in the weave, perfect for weddings where florals are welcome but the palette is moody.
Styling tip: Tone down with sleek accessories — think painted nails in deep wine, a slim clutch, and earrings that mirror a detail in the dress’s texture.
Layer Smart
A smart tailored coat – we all have THAT coat from Zara or River Island – can really add a touch of class (and warmth!) to your winter wedding look.
Accessories!
Choose jewellery that picks up the tones in the dress (e.g. rose gold for wine, brass for deep green). Think sleek clutches, velvet, or metallics (but keep the look clean, not overly fussy).
Shoes
Closed toes are safer (and warmer). Think dressy ankle boots, or pointed flats. If the event is partly outdoors, a low block heel is practical.
Hair & Makeup Touches
Deep berry lips, vampy eyeliner, or soft smoky eyes pair beautifully with jewel tones. A sleek low bun or side-swept waves let the dress and neckline do the talking (especially for pieces with open-back or neck-tie details). If the dress is highly textured, keep the rest of the outfit more streamlined so there’s a clear focal point.
