What do you wear to a winter wedding whilst avoiding black? From rich Quality Street coloured velvets and sparkling sequins to frosty faux furs and polished, elegant tailoring, our Fashion Director solves your dress code dilemmas.

Here's what to wear to a winter wedding this year...

The Sparkly One

A wedding invite that falls in December calls for all-out glitter and shine. Throw a big shearling coat over a sequin slip dress and add crystal accessories for some extra a festive sparkle.

The Velvet One

A trouser suit has an effortless elegance, especially when it comes in a rich, opulent red velvet. It will remove the dreaded tights dilemma, be warm without compromising on style and is a complete look in one hit – wear it with nothing underneath or add a silky camisole, ruffle blouse or a sharp, collared silk shirt. Match with glossy accessories – a simple patent clutch and pointed leather heels – for extra style points.

The Slick One

Yes, you can wear cream to a wedding along as it's not a dress or worn top to toe. Break it up with silver and sparkle or a shot of bright colour. M&S's silver tassel midi skirt brings some fizz to a simple tux jacket; layer up the shine with silver mules and a kitsch beaded bag.

The Romantic One

A frothy gown under a sleek tailored wool coat is a great option for a more traditional wedding. Navy ruffles are softer than black and nude shoes will keep the palette tonal. Add a pretty bow fascinator or a sparkly hair comb.
