Accessories have a vital role to play in every wedding ensemble. For the bride and groom, in particular, the accessories chosen have the power to make a stunning look a standout sensation, which is what every happy couple deserves on their wedding day.
The right wedding accessories will enhance your beauty and help you finish off your wedding look to perfection. During winter, your accessories have to not only be complementary and chic, but practical and functional.
In this blog post, we take a closer look at the winter wedding accessories every bride and groom needs.
The cosy cover-up
Adding a little extra coverage to your bridal ensemble is easy with a chic cover-up. When it comes to winter-friendly cover-ups, your options are endless, with jackets, shawls, shrugs, capes, capelets and even oversized knits made from faux fur, chiffon, lace, sequins, wool, felt, suede, feathers or leather all adding something extra special to your statement style.
Making sure your cover-up coordinates perfectly with your dress is the key to a beautiful bridal look as Hitched explains:
“There are as many gorgeous bridal cover ups as there are wedding dresses, from chiffon shrugs to fur capes. When making your choice, think about the silhouette and neckline of your dress, as well as your personal style and the effect you want to achieve. We always advise trying on your cover up with your gown, to check the whole thing comes together perfectly.”

The signature sweater
Increasing the warmth of your wedding suit should be a consideration for every groom during winter.
Change up the standard three-piece wedding suit by swapping your waistcoat for a vest, sweater or jumper. This will be worn underneath your suit jacket and can be made from warmer fabrics like tweed, velvet or wool. For a more casual, cosy look, why not team your shirt and suit trousers with a cardigan?
The brilliant bridal boot
Wedding footwear trends also get a little warmer come winter, with stylish boots favourites amongst brides marrying during the cooler months.
From vintage-inspired lace-up designs to simple, sleek and sophisticated white leather looks, there are bridal booties to suit every style.
The classic overcoat
A groom’s attire can look even more sophisticated and provide the coverage needed to negotiate outdoor photoshoots in the harsher winter weather conditions with a classic overcoat. You can choose a coat that matches or complements your wedding suit, or alternatively, opt for a contrasting colour, cut and fabric.
The beautiful bridal hat
Feeling comfortable and looking chic has never been so easy with the latest trend to sweep the bridal wear scene. Bridal hats are now available in a range of shades and styles, including stunning boho hats in brown and black, and faux fur Siberian styles.
Bridal hats in hardy materials and classic cuts will help you brave the cold and look extra fabulous on your wedding day.
The sleek scarf
Outerwear in classic plaid, sleek paisley or traditional wool looks great and provides comfort to winter grooms. Whether hanging loose or draped around the neck, scarves are top accessories for stylish grooms tying the knot in winter.
