Most wedding dresses seem made for a spring wedding, and finding the perfect spring wedding dress is no easy feat. It is a good idea for the spring bride to start the search long before the weather begins to warm up.
Complement a spring garden setting with a floral-embellished dress. From embroidered blossoms to 3 D buds, these nature-inspired elements can provide color to whimsy sheaths and ball gowns alike. Wear an airy A-line dress with floral add-ons on the bodice and waistline, or tone it down with a lightly floral-embellished sweep train for a subtle (yet distinct) spring style. If flowers are too feminine, look to preppy details and patterns to evoke the spirit of the season. A gingham ribbon trim or a hint of polka dots could add the perfect finishing touch to an already gorgeous gown. Consider a dress with a pleated bodice or find a patterned sash to wear around your waist.
For a wedding dress that reflects the spring season, light and airy fabrics are ideal. Think chiffon, charmeuse, and organza. Let a spring breeze wisp your chiffon train as you walk down the aisle, or go for a spaghetti-strap, organic Swiss Dot silk cotton number for an outdoor spring wedding under the trees.
Ruffles are a big trend this year, and their feminine appeal makes them perfect to wear to a wedding. Look for a pretty sleeveless dress with a ruffled neckline. If sleeveless seems a bit chilly, layer in a coordinating dressy cardigan (for daytime) or a silk wrap (for evening). The sleeveless style will make the dress versatile, as you can also wear it for summer weddings. With a busy neckline, you will find that the best type of wedding jewelry to wear is a simple necklace with bolder earrings. A swingy cluster drop pearl or crystal earring design would be a lovely complement to the feminine style of the ruffles.
Many more brides these days are opting for a hint of color in their wedding dresses – be it a baby blue sash, an allover hint of pink, or light colorful embroidery. These touches will look perfect at a spring wedding.
For some brides the perfect dress may mean a traditional spring wedding dress, complete with flowing train and beautifully accented headpiece.For others the dress will be quite a bit more casual, with a short, sexy and sporty style, and with short gowns becoming ever more popular on the bridal runways, we can’t think of a better way to show off toned and tanned gams. Find a mini dress that will really show off your figure, or go for a tea-length dress paired with peep-toed heels for a fun and flirty look.
No matter which style is right for you, it is a good idea to shop around widely in order to find the perfect dress.

Winter Wedding Dresses
One of the first things you notice when shopping for your Winter wedding dress is that some designers seem never to have heard of the North at all. But if you happen to fall in love with a summery design despite the fact that average temps for your wedding day hover around 20 below, don’t worry — you still have lots of options.
When it comes to choosing a Winter wedding dress it is important that you feel comfortable and still look beautiful! Winter wedding dresses allow you the opportunity to explore some sumptuous fabrics that are traditionally a little heavier than those used for Summer wedding dresses, for example velvet, duchess satin, crepe, moiré, taffeta and brocade.
Your Winter wedding dress should probably have long sleeves, and be sure to include gloves in your ensemble – you can always take them off once you’re indoors. Many dresses come with long sleeves. A thick satin dress or one made of white velvet or velour would rival those Summer styles and in fact, may even look more elegant and formal. A style with faux fur trim around the sleeves and collar will simply look stunning.
To stay warm while you’re en route, consider a wool or cashmere cape. A cape will provide plenty of room and you won’t have to worry about fitting your sleeves into it, as you would a coat. And the drama of a cape can work to enhance your bridal look.
Another popular option: an asymmetrical faux fur wrap that rests on one shoulder, or the fur or marabou shrug that covers both. These styles make the perfect finalé for a strapless gown with a bit of beading.
Wintertime isn’t just the perfect season to break out the “ice,” it’s also ideal for wearing strong colors under that snow-white cloak or shrug. A bold red gown will take your guests’ breath away, especially for a Christmas or Valentine wedding. Other brides might find that a pale blue sash fulfills their winter wonderland fantasies, while this season’s trend toward bold black beading complements almost any cold-weather affair. Classic colors like ivory and egg cream are always popular.
Whilst you would not want to compromise your look for warmth, you will not want to be concentrating on how much you are shaking rather than how much you are enjoying your day.
Create a winter wedding dress with chiffon illusion neckline – it will show some skin yet keep you comfortable. Do not forget thermal leggings or heavy white tights under your winter wedding gown. You can choose silk thermal pants for a sheer lightweight feeling. Long trailing dresses may not be suitable if you have to battle snow and mud. Longer wedding gown styles with long sleeves and higher necklines will keep you warm.
