It’s true that you have to take into consideration the weather and if you live in a really cold place, the snow as well, when you are picking out your dress. However, the options are not as limited as you think. One of the main problems of having a spring or summer wedding is that you cannot wear heavy clothes, heavily embroidered gowns, or ones which have several layers. All these sacrifices need not be made when you are choosing a dress for your winter wedding, because these additions will only help to keep you warm. Even if you choose to dress up in off-shoulder or sleeveless numbers, you can accessorize them with the stoles and jackets of the right kind, to make you look like a snow queen in a white wedding.
