Sophia’s Bridal, based in both Indiana and Kentucky, provides a wide range of wedding gown silhouettes, sleeves, accessories, and styles. Indiana and Kentucky weather is known for its unpredictable weather all year round, with often harsh winters and hot and humid summers. Finding the ideal dress, no matter the time of year, will make you feel gorgeous on your special day. 

When it comes to finding your perfect wedding dress, keep comfort in mind. Will you be too hot or cold in your gown? If your wedding is in April, would your gown be at risk of getting rained on? Planning out your wedding dress with your season is important, but feeling comfortable and beautiful on your wedding day is essential. 

 

Wedding Season: Dressing for Winter

Due to the frigid and unpredictable weather, the winter months are known to be the least popular wedding season. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t still have your dream winter wonderland wedding. Furthermore, just because of the frightful cold weather does not mean you must wear a long sleeve wedding gown; there are other options. A timeless yet chic style for your winter wedding day would be a white fur coat to keep you warm, yet look fabulous!

Wedding Season: Dressing for Spring 

Indiana and Kentucky locals know Spring weather is rain or shine– or in some cases, rain and shine all in one day! While May is the start of “wedding season,” it is hard to know if it will be a perfect Spring day, pouring down rain, or maybe even a late frost. Thankfully, these months do not require much thought about planning your wedding gown around the season; there are plenty of stunning gowns to choose from. Wearing a small shawl to keep warm on a cool Spring wedding date would be both stylish and efficient. Or, you can purchase detachable sleeves for your dress– a favorite feature at Sophia’s locations.

Wedding Season: Dressing for Summer 

Summer months are known to be ideal times for outdoor weddings in Kentucky and Indiana. The flowers are blooming, trees are green, and birds are chirping. The only worry is mosquitoes and the weather being too hot, which are things that can be worked around. Silk dresses look and feel fabulous in summer months, and can keep you cool on the dance floor. For outdoor weddings, trendy brides have been distributing paper umbrellas to the wedding party and guests to block out the sun.
