With temperatures dropping quickly as winter approaches, finding the perfect wedding guest dresses to keep you warm while you celebrate is crucial. From velvet and sequins to seasonal florals and flattering wrap styles, there’s a dress for every venue, style, and body. Just because it’s getting colder doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style this wedding season. Add a pair of cute boots and a cozy jacket to your wedding guest look and get ready to sip champagne and dance all night long!

Short Winter Wedding Guest Dresses

For some, wearing a short dress in the middle of the winter might sound dreadful. However, if you’re in warmer climates such as the American southwest, then you know how mild winters can be. No one wants to be in a thick dress if it’s 70 degrees out!

If you’re attending weddings in cold climates, there’s a very good chance that the wedding won’t be outdoors, either. Pair these dresses with a jacket or fur and tights for the short amount of time that you’ll be outside and then ditch the coat once you hit the dance floor.

Most of these dresses are not only long in length, but they also have long sleeves which will keep you feeling extra cozy. They’re also the ideal option if you’re looking to wear lower heels or flats since you won’t be able to see your feet.

Fall Utah Mountain Wedding at Log Haven

October 19, 2020 | riley

We’re living for autumn outdoor weddings now that temperatures are cooling down, and Sarah and Noah’s fall mountain wedding at Log Haven did not disappoint. The couple wanted nothing more than to create a cozy atmosphere where their guests could enjoy their favorite part of Utah. The outdoor ceremony featured sweeping mountain and forest views, a warm burgundy and navy color palette, and an over-the-top bridal bouquet put together by Living Creations. Oh, and a ring mishap that made for some pretty great photos.

The reception was complete with a romantic first dance under fairy lights, a minimalistic yet rustic cake from Cravings Alisha’s Cupcakes, and a whole lot of shots. That’s right—these two kept the party going all night long.

We’re totally in love with every autumnal aspect of this intimate affair, and we’re so glad that Junebug member Tressa Wixom Photography captured every well-thought-out detail.

The Couple:

Sarah and Noah

The Wedding:

Log Haven, Salt Lake City, Utah

Why Log Haven

When planning our wedding, we quickly got set on having a fall wedding up in the mountains. We found the perfect setting at Log Haven in September. We wanted our guests from out of state to really be able to experience our favorite part of Utah–the beautiful mountains! So we were really inspired by the mountains and nature.

A Ring Mishap

During the middle of the ceremony, my sister (maid of honor) dropped Noah’s ring in the grass. Our officiant stopped the ceremony for a couple of minutes while all my bridesmaids helped her find it. It was found, but all we could do was laugh during this unexpected part of our ceremony. The pictures of this still make me laugh–seeing my bridesmaids on the ground looking for the ring.

Wedding Advice From The Bride

I’d say planning early and giving yourself enough time to plan relieves a lot of stress. We got engaged in September 2018 and married in September 2019. Having a full year of planning was great for us. Planning a few things at a time helped us not feel so overwhelmed. The first thing we planned was our venue. I’d say that’s the best first plan to make, and getting that set with your date will be so helpful. You’ll feel like you’ve accomplished so much from just that!

South Meets SoCal in This Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm Wedding

October 18, 2020 | riley

A wedding complete with a vintage Mercedes, a custom school bus, a stunning greenhouse reception, and music from the couple’s favorite movies? Talk about one-of-a-kind and totally gorgeous. Cassie and Michael’s SoCal wedding at Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm was midcentury mod meets natural glamour. With the help of Ann Johnson, the couple created a day unique to their love story, and while we could rant about it for days, we love what Cassie had to say about the details of their special day!

Cassie’s Take On The Day

We wanted our wedding to reflect our love story. We met and became close friends in Georgia, but really fell for one another in California. With its vast pastures, lush greenhouses, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm in Santa Barbara was exactly our rare blend of Southern and SoCal style. Our décor matched our Los Angeles home–a little bit midcentury and a little bit mod–mixing vintage textures of velvet with eclectic patterns alike. It was vital, of course, to fill the reception greenhouse with emerald and evergreen foliage, mossy vines, and peaked lighting. Deep red and auburn florals sprinkled about gold and brass candelabrums, serving the wooden dining tables well. Pure Joy catering proved equal parts master of umami and art. We paid homage to our shared love of cinema with orchestral notes of famous film themes, including Ghost, Star Wars Empire Strikes Back, and Jurassic Park. Not to mention a first dance tribute to Top Gun’s Take my Breath Away. 

When we say you’re going to want to save this one, we mean it. Get those Pinterest boards ready and keep scrolling to see the pin-worthy photos captured by Heirlume Photography!
