Planning a winter wedding? You’re in the right place. Our collection of plus size wedding dresses for winter is all about celebrating the season—and celebrating you. Whether you're saying "I do" in a snowy outdoor ceremony or exchanging vows indoors with candlelight and cozy vibes, we have gowns designed to keep you warm, stylish, and confident.

This collection features gowns designed with winter in mind—from long sleeves and warm fabrics to silhouettes that offer comfort and confidence. Every style is made specifically for curvy brides, with thoughtful details that highlight your shape, match your vibe, and celebrate your personal style. Because yes, you can stay cozy and still have that jaw-dropping bridal moment.

Winter Dress Styles

What makes a winter wedding dress different? It's all in the details. Cooler temps give you a chance to wear looks that are dramatic, layered, and totally unique to the season. Think romantic lace sleeves, high necklines, fuller skirts, and beautiful back details. Our collection includes everything from classic A-lines and soft empire waists to bold ball gowns and sleek fit-and-flare styles.

Long sleeves are a go-to for winter weddings—not just for warmth, but for the elegant, timeless feel they bring to your bridal look. Choose from sheer lace, illusion sleeves, or even cozy satin for extra coverage that still feels light and breathable. Off-the-shoulder sleeves are another favorite, especially when paired with a fitted bodice and flowy skirt.

If your ceremony is outdoors or you're heading into snow for your photos, you’ll want a dress that lets you move comfortably while still standing out. That’s why many of our designs feature flexible linings, secure bodices, and layers that add warmth without weighing you down.

Winter Wedding Gown Trends

Winter weddings are all about the details, and this season brings its own bridal trends that work beautifully with the colder months. Here are a few we’re loving right now:

1. Dramatic Sleeves: Whether it's long lace sleeves, flutter sleeves, or billowy puff sleeves, winter weddings are all about making a statement with sleeves. These styles add both elegance and warmth to your bridal look, perfect for chilly weather.

2. Velvet Everything: Velvet is making a huge comeback for winter weddings. This rich, luxurious fabric is soft, warm, and absolutely perfect for colder months. Velvet dresses in deep jewel tones, rich burgundies, or even classic white create a breathtaking bridal look.

3. Sparkle & Shine: Winter weddings are magical, and adding a bit of sparkle to your gown enhances that feeling. Look for gowns with delicate beading, metallic threads, or even subtle sequins that catch the light and give your dress an ethereal, glowing look.

4. High Necklines & Lace: A high neckline, especially with lace detailing, adds a sophisticated touch to your winter wedding look. This trend gives off a vintage feel while ensuring you stay warm and stylish throughout your celebration.

5. Mixed Fabrics: Mixing different fabrics—like satin with lace or tulle with velvet—adds texture and dimension to your gown, creating a dynamic look that fits the season’s elegance while offering a bit of visual interest.

Color Palette

Who says winter weddings have to be only white? Of course, we have stunning ivory and pure white options, but we also love offering warmer and cooler shades that fit the season. Think soft Champagne, icy Blush, or even silver-tinted fabrics that catch the light. These subtle shades still feel bridal but offer a fresh twist that complements winter’s natural beauty.

Accessories like faux fur wraps, sparkling belts, or embroidered veils also let you play with texture and tone without overwhelming your look. Many brides also opt to coordinate their bouquet or makeup with these cooler hues, pulling the entire look together beautifully.

Fabrics That Work for Winter

Fabric plays a huge role in how a dress feels—especially in winter. Our gowns use luxurious, season-appropriate materials like satin, brocade, velvet, and taffeta. These fabrics not only hold their shape beautifully, but they also provide more coverage and warmth.

Lace overlays, subtle sparkle, and soft linings add dimension without bulk. Many gowns in this collection layer different fabrics to create elegant, eye-catching textures that feel just right for a cold-weather celebration.
