Since peak wedding season falls around summer and early fall, that winter wedding invite you received may be throwing you for a loop – especially in deciding what to wear. We know you'll want to be comfortable in the cold, but also be dressed appropriately. But fear not – you don’t always have to sacrifice style for the sake of bearing colder temperatures. There are plenty of dress options to choose from for any wedding. Plus, dressing for the weather can be a fun opportunity to accessorize an ordinary wedding guest outfit with tights, ribbons and coats! Double check the dress code on the invitation and get ready to have the best time.

When looking for a winter dress as a wedding guest, you'll want to reach for longer sleeves and hems, deeper colors, and heavier materials. Rich velvet textures are a go-to for guest attire this season, but silky satins and dark floral patterns are just as good a fit. We’ve gathered a handful of winter wedding guest dresses that are sure to get you all the compliments.
