Change is just around the corner and as we feel that mid-September nip in the air, Winter brides are thinking about what fabrics and silhouettes will whip up nicely for a cold weather wedding. Getting married in a sub-zero clime shouldn't be a hassle for you or your guests with a little forethought and planning. While there are some heavier and beautiful winter fabrics out there like brocades and peau de soie, any gown can be winterized with a little ingenuity. Add gloves, a muff and shawl and you'll be surprised how warm you'll be. These gorgeous gowns offer just the touch of inspiration for winter brides . . .
