Chances are if you’re planning a winter wedding, you enjoy the beauty of the season. Creating a seasonally inspired wedding is all about the details, and what detail is more important than your wedding gown! Choose a dress that relates to the crystallized ice and snow-covered trees by introducing Swarovski crystal, wrapping yourself in soft layers of silk, chiffon and lace, and end it with an equally brilliant shoe. Here, we gain inspiration from designers that range from couture to classic: Georges Chakra covers his bride in chiffon and hand appliqued white flowers; Elie Saab mixes crystals with petals and a hint of sheerness; and Lazaro creates a ball gown with a lace-inspired corseted top. Any of these bridal gowns are sure to make you sparkle on your snow-filled day.
