Bride Chic

Winter bridal wreaths have a beauty all their own. Glossy ivy, fragrant evergreen sprigs, and generous clusters of berries bring rich color and texture to the palest winter day. Against ivory satin or softly pleated taffeta, their woodland shapes make a lovely counterpart to the dressmaker’s art. A crown of ivory berries feels quiet and delicate; one laden with crimson brings a festive flourish, especially with a snowy garden beyond. These small winter gatherings allow room for both simplicity and abundance. A slender circlet can follow the curve of a loose hairstyle, while a fuller wreath becomes the centerpiece of the bridal look. Narrow velvet ribbons trailing down the back offer a beautiful finish, and a soft wrap adds warmth without hiding the gown beneath. Whether worn beneath a sheltered stone arch or at an open conservatory doorway, a winter wreath carries a little of the season into the ceremony—evergreen, expressive, and full of romance.
