Although the idea persists that weddings celebrated in the afternoon are very sophisticated, the truth is that in winter it is not advisable to choose these times of day to start a wedding.

Although asymmetrical necklines or those that show the collarbones are a trend, as are airy fabrics and even long midithe most prudent thing is for the bride to choose a design with which you will not be cold. This doesn’t have to translate into a piece that doesn’t fit your personality. On the contrary, with thick fabrics or with several layers in a removable look you can also achieve wonderful results. The bride above these lines, with a creation by Carlos MartÃnez Costura or the one in the previous image, with a proposal by SofÃa Delgado Studio, are an example that, no matter how much time passes, there are winter bridal outfits that will continue to navigate the networks because they are a success.

Although flowers can arrive from many different parts of the world, taking into account what is available in the season of the year in which the wedding is celebrated is a gesture not only sustainable, but also responsible. Because if the couple plans to invest a significant part of their budget in their arrangements, they will expect those floral varieties to be able to last all day. But it will be more difficult for them to resist if the climate does not help their proper conservation.

Sometimes guests must be outdoors to (for example) access a dinner in food truck or pose in the photo booth. In these cases it is advisable to raise some stoves that reduce humidity and the sensation of cold which is typical of this season. The same thing happens with very old or poorly conditioned interior areas. Not checking that a cold space, no matter how beautiful it may be, has heating for the times when guests are in it is a notable mistake.

It is common that, as in this image of Perfect Guest (Sandra Majada a few years ago with a look from Bruna Colection), winter guests wear warm clothing. Capes, jackets, ponchos, toquillas, bullfighters, coats, blazersshawls and an endless number of garments that they use in outdoor settings, but that When they are about to access interior spaces, they usually prefer to remove. Not having a cloakroom or, failing that, having a reduced service or space for the number of people who will attend the wedding is a big mistake that will affect the guest’s experience.
