What to wear to a winter wedding in Wisconsin?

Maybe like a dress with tights underneath, and flats? And a cardigan over the dress. You can probably wear a coat over your dress, but make it a pea coat so it looks nicer and goes better with a dress. You can prob also wear a hat and gloves (like the nice knit kind, not the outdoorsy athletic-looking kind) and just take it off when you get inside

It is determined by the weather for me really. In the fall I love to wear longer skirts and in the wintertime I wear longer ones with my boots, but in the summertime and spring and coil I favor to wear short summer time dresses.

Most venues have coat rooms. I had my wedding in Chicago on New's Year Eve. Guest came in long winter coats and boots. And left them in the coat room- they wore cocktail dress and heels inside. The room did have the heat on and with lots of guests no one was cold. You do not have to wear winter clothes

Assuming the bar has heating, you might just want to select your favorite cocktail dress and have a nice shawl to wrap around your self if you find it chilly. As for the coming and going, you need a serious winter coat.

If you want to purchase a new dress, consider one with sleeves. There are many lovely styles that are tiered or lace. I'm old fashioned, so I would suggest a jewel tone (burgundy, ruby, navy, emerald, or dark purple) rather than black.

Ahh, Wisconsin winters are brutal. I lived in Whitefish Bay for a couple years (it's a beautiful suburb of Milwaukee) and the temperature frequently fell below zero with the windchill factor during the winter.

Anyway - why don't you wear a black form-fitting dress that has long sleeves? Put a belt around your waist or some silver jewelery to spice it up.

I went to a wedding last February & it was 5 degrees out, keep in mind that most reception places are heated so you could wear a dress, but probably with tights & closed toe shoes

Some type of dressy dress that would be dark in color..warm for the weather..enclosed shoes due to the cold weather.

This is where a stadium coat comes in handy - because you can't really dress warmly for a wedding, nor would you want to.

Given that it's going to involve wine, you may as well look for a burgundy colored wool skirt or suit - you can't (no really, please) wear black, but burgundy would be pretty and great for spills...or it comes in peacock blue-

You could easily wear snow boots, and pack heels in a bag - you're not going to be the only one trying to figure out how not to look like a trapper once you get inside the venue!
