What to wear for a Winter wedding?
Being a Winter wedding guest is fraught with problems, the main being what to wear? In Summertime it is easy to opt for pretty florals with wraps and pashminas to add a little coverage if the weather is not so great.

And it seems every colour, with the exception of white, is an option, with the shops being awash with colour in the brightest of seasons. But come Winter, the choice of what to wear for a Winter Wedding is not so simple. The weather of course is cooler, meaning that a coat may have to be worn…
