Scandinavian countries have rather a harsh climate with a lot of snow, so winter is always a special time there, it’s all about winter wonderland with sparkling snow and ice around. Of course, winter weddings in such countries are sure to be striking and very cozy at the same time. Let’s have a look at some ideas to steal or to rock right there if you are going for a destination wedding.
Bridal Attire
Going Scandinavian, you may try traditional or modern things, and it works for every part of wedding decor and attire. If you are a modern or minimalist bride, go for a minimalist plain wedding gown with cutouts for a catchy look, for a blue or grey dress with no special detailing, making a statement only with the color, for a comfy bridal separate with a sweater and a maxi skirt. Wanna add a traditional touch to your outfit? Go for a traditionally printed cardigan or sweater over your wedding dress, or try a traditional cape with embroidered patterns.
