3 Fall/Winter Wedding Looks

What Are We Wearing?

New England’s fall and winter wedding season is all about contrast romance meeting realism, and softness meeting structure. This wedding season, let your look feel intentional, layered, and true to your personality. Whether you’re heading to a cozy candlelit ceremony or a formal black-tie ballroom affair, finding the right look means leaning into texture, layering, and rich seasonal tones. As the temps drop, here are three style outlooks that make celebrating anything but cold. 

1. Velvet Luxe

Velvet takes center stage this season, lending a regal texture that feels both timeless and festive. Opt for jewel tones like emerald, sapphire, or garnet for a statement moment under low lighting. Pair a strapless velvet dress with a structured tuxedo jacket or faux fur coat to keep the silhouette sleek and sophisticated.

Contrast textures pair velvet with something unexpected like patent leather heels or a satin clutch to add modern depth to a classic fabric.

2. Modern Winter Romance

Soft layers and ethereal details define the new winter romance. Think chiffon or silk midi dresses in magenta, champagne, or ivory paired with faux fur stoles or a tailored wool coat. Add pearl earrings and softly waved hair for a look that’s feminine and polished. Perfect for a daytime ceremony or intimate dinner reception.

Tara’s Style Edit:

Anchor dreamy fabrics with structure try a tailored outer layer or a defined waist to keep the look intentional, not overly whimsical.

3. Chic Evening Minimalism

For city weddings or sleek venues, go minimalist with a monochrome palette. A black, espresso, or olive green column dress, a strong-shouldered coat, and sharp gold accessories exude quiet luxury. The simplicity lets your confidence (and maybe a bold lip) do the talking.

Tara’s Style Edit:

Play with proportion, pair a streamlined dress with a dramatic oversized coat or statement cuff to create visual balance.
