Attending a winter wedding is not for the weak. You have to carefully navigate between keeping yourself warm and stylish. Choosing the outfits that keep you warm and luxurious is the key to ideal winter wear. A winter wedding is the time of the year when rich fabrics like Velvet, raw silk, and brocade come to show. Velvet is highly preferred by women for its richness and opulence. There is a certain sense of royalty attached to velvet for its rich colors and texture. Winter wedding is when you showcase your skills when it comes to keeping yourself comfortable yet stylish.
Here are a bunch of tips that will keep you fashionable and sophisticated during this winter season. Winter season is when layering will be your best friend, but layering in a way that complements your outfit is the real deal.
Drape your favorite shawl on your shoulders
Winter season is the time when you take out your pashmina shawl to pair with your winter outfits. A shawl exudes luxury and opulence all at once. For centuries, shawls have been the epitome of modesty and grace for women and take your Pakistani outfit to another level. Pashmina and velvet shawls whether plain or embroidered, add a touch of dexterity to your outfit. A velvet kurta paired with jacquard trousers or velvet salwar kameez paired with a wool or pashmina shawl makes an ideal winter outfit.
A long, flowing Anarkali when paired with a shawl looks even more glamorous. The rich silver or gold embroidery looks extremely graceful when paired with a warm shawl. A lehenga choli in darker colors like emerald, blue, or maroon can be worn for occasions like mehendi or mayoon. You can add or skip a shawl as per your personal preference.
Pair it with an embellished Jacket
Embellished waist-length jackets are in-trend because of their flamboyant colors and intricate designs. Elevate a plain velvet kurti by pairing it with an embellished jacket. An embellished jacket paired with the right accessories and closed-toe shoes is the go-to outfit for any winter wedding. A blazer elevates any outfit by adding structure and grandeur. It is important to choose a jacket that goes well with your outfit. If you are wearing a plain velvet kurti, and decide to pair it with an embellished jacket, it is best to choose a jacket that compliments your outfit.
Darker hues of green, red, and blue look great with golden or silver combinations. Embellished jackets that have a golden or silver base make the ideal layering item for your winter clothing.
Choosing the right accessories
There are certain things that you should consider while dressing up for a winter wedding. For shoes, you must consider that they are close-toed so you can keep your feet warm. For jewelry, consider bold, ornamental pieces: like chandelier earrings or thick hoop earrings. For bangles, choose thick bangles and bracelets. Layered necklaces are another way to add a touch of glamour to your outfit. Clutches are preferred over bags for wedding season, so statement clutches are your go-to accessory for weddings.
Dry winter air tends to dry up your skin of any moisture. So it is important to use a hydrating foundation. Choose a dark Smokey eye for eye makeup and pair it with a nude lip. Or if you want a glittery eye, so it's best to go with a bold lip.
Keep yourself prepared for a winter wedding by keeping a lip balm, the lip shade that you are wearing, and a hand cream along with it.
