Winter weddings are the perfect way to incorporate stylish and cozy elements into your attire. At Bear Brook, the seasonal charm of our venue enhances every outfit, whether you’re embracing timeless elegance or leaning into seasonal trends.

  • For the Bride: Winter bridal gowns with long sleeves, intricate lace details, or shimmering embellishments are both stunning and practical. Add a luxurious faux fur shawl or cape to keep warm during outdoor photos while maintaining a sophisticated look. Consider winter accessories like crystal hairpieces or snowflake-inspired jewelry for an added seasonal touch.

  • For the Groom: Velvet jackets in rich hues like navy, burgundy, or forest green make a bold statement. Classic black or charcoal suits paired with textured ties or pocket squares add a cozy yet polished vibe. Don’t forget weather-appropriate footwear for outdoor shots—suede or leather boots can be stylish and practical.

  • For the Wedding Party: Bridesmaids can embrace the season with dresses in jewel tones or soft metallics. Add coordinating shawls or fur wraps for warmth and style. Groomsmen can complement the groom’s look with velvet accents or accessories that tie in with the wedding color palette.
