Try to find a bridal salon that stocks winter wedding gowns. Even on the East Coast and cold belt states you'll be hard pressed to find even a sample to try on . . . Ideally come July, you'd think salons would have at least a few samples in in anticipation of winter Since most brides marry through the spring and summer months, long-sleeved gowns in fabrics like heavy satin and brocade are hard to browse in the salon.. European designers and browsing online offer the best inspiration points . I found the Dutch and British designers best for offering the ultimate in winter chic via fur, hats, wool scarfs. Stars like Angelina Colorusso have not only long sleeved gowns but offer a whole winter look.
