Everyone loves a wedding… not least of all because you get to buy yourself a new outfit. But what happens when it’s a winter wedding and you need to balance looking good with keeping warm?
Well, just like attending high tea in winter, a baby shower, or holidaying in London, layers are the key.
Think sexy hosiery, closed-toe heels, a statement jacket and of course, a little bit of bling!
Because it’s winter you may be drawn to a darker, warmer colour palette, but don’t be afraid to brighten things up with a pop of colour.
We’ve pulled eight different looks, for eight different dress codes, see what you think…
