Taking a risk on the weather and aiming for a winter wedding is a bold choice, but it can be argued that winter is the most romantic season. The softly falling snow, the crisp, early dusk and the lush red and greens of Christmas… and of course the dress. Winter is a less traditional time to get married, and so winter bridal collections can lean towards more unusual and eye catching trends. Here are the top trends for the autumn 2013/winter 2014 season.

Minimal, clean lines.

As the leaves fall off the trees, it’s time to ditch the lace and ruffles and go for a dress with a simple, clean line with as few complications as possible. A sleek and simple look will catch the eye and let your beaming smile do all the talking while you walk down the aisle. If you’re scared of your look not having enough glitz, a couple of high impact accessories will really set off your look, like this dress by one of Kate Middleton’s favorite designers, Jenny Packham.The simplicity of this stunning gown is accentuated by a leaf motif silver belt and a Summery floral headband with an icy winter twist.

Gold

This season’s big alternative color is gold for the bride who wants to feel like a million dollars. If you think gold may look a little brash, this beautiful Romona Keveza gown tones down the shine with lacy see-through layers and a floor length veil. If you’re the kind of bride who wants to dazzle, you should definitely go for gold this winter.

Lace Sleeves

A winter wedding means you’ll have to face the cold for the photos, and though there are plenty of shrugs, pashminas and boleros available, an eye-catching alternative is a dress with ornate lace sleeves. Floral lace patterns are a popular choice this season, and the covering will keep you warm during the chillier moments of your ceremony. This beautiful gown from Milly Bridal, rich with detail, is a perfect option for a winter bride on a budget.

Column Shapes with Cap Sleeves

Part of a wider trend for Victorian style dresses, the column shape with cap sleeve detail will make you look like your favorite Jane Austen hero. This is a more demure and understated style that would suit a countryside or forest wedding, such as this gorgeous gown with lace detail by Phase Eight. The smaller sleeves may mean investing in a fur stole that will add a bit of glamor to this simple but very sweet looking style.

Covered Up

Let’s face it, winter weddings are going to be cold, and however much flesh you show, it’s going to be covered in goose pimples. The covered up trend is big this winter, complete with button up necks, high sleeves, long skirts and completely covered backs. It may sound draconian, but the result, with enough detail, can look stunning and elegant. This couture dress by Claire Pettibone gets the covered up trend just right, with a dress that’s guaranteed to make you look beautiful while keeping you snug. No-one wants a cold on their honeymoon.

Unusual shapes can make a huge statement, like this incredible dress by Venezuelan designer Rafael Cennamo, an explosion of silk, unusually large ruffles and petticoats, all in a rich cream colour that will certainly brighten up your winter day.
