If you're like us, an in invitation to a winter wedding immediately gets the "what-to-wear" wheels turning. The whimsical sundresses and cocktail frocks you wore in the spring and summer may feel a little off this season. And, of course, your winter wedding guest dress needs to be comfortable in cold weather -- a sartorial challenge, no doubt.

Don't freak when trying to figure out what to wear to a winter wedding -- dressing for the season is actually tons of fun. Winter weddings are great excuses to get dolled up in formal, special pieces you rarely have occasion to wear: floor-length silhouettes; glimmering, luxe fabrics; and dramatic accessories.

Embrace the glamorous moment and get inspired by these 12 amazing winter wedding guest dresses.
