For two consecutive years, I have attended two beautiful autumn weddings — the first, my best friend Elliot’s from high school; the second, my best friend John’s from law school. The similarities are curious, pumpkins as decorations, ceremonies by a lake with a backdrop of trees and mountains, dogs in the bridal party, and of course true love.

The locals appreciate style, so looking your best is never a bad idea! Nightlife is abundant, but the dress code is not on par with more glitzy tropical counterparts like Miami.

If you’re of a certain age, you’ve probably accumulated a sensible collection of summery cocktail dresses, and a solid stash of belts, shoes, and purses to mix between them during particularly busy — and traditionally timed — wedding seasons. But what are the rules for dressing up when it’s cold and blustery outside? Keep reading for our tips on what to wear to a winter wedding.

It ends up in the back of the closet in its original dryclean plastic never to be seen by human eyes again (until you clean out your closet or move). But it doesn’t have to be a total waste! Here are some ideas on how to find a wearable place in your wardrobe for your old bridesmaid dresses.
