Wedding season? Try wedding seasons. Sure, back in the day weddings tended to take place between June and September, but these days any season goes. Here in Kalispell, Montana, each season brings its own unique beauty to the table. Whether you tie the knot under a big summer sky or atop a snow-dusted mountain, it's important that your wedding attire compliments the scenery and the season.
When you book an appointment at Mimi's Bridal, we'll sit down with you to learn all we can about your special day, including the time of year, venue, colors and themes. Once we pair these details with your personal style, we'll help you discover a wedding look that is perfectly suited to your day. But since it's never too early to start planning your wedding style, read on for some of our favorite seasonal pairings for your Montana wedding.
Spring (March–May)
Why We Love It: Here in Montana, early spring provides gorgeous snowscapes with (slightly) warmer temperatures. Later in the season, rolling hills boast breathtaking hues of green, and fields are covered in brilliantly bright dandilions. It’s a great time for romantic, intimate weddings and elopements (though you’ll want to prepare for unpredictable weather).
What Brides Should Wear:
Long-sleeved lace or illusion gowns offer elegance and a touch of warmth.
Layers or detachable sleeves provide flexibility for changing temps.
Consider boots or closed-toe shoes if your venue has muddy grounds.
What Grooms Should Wear:
A three-piece suit in gray, navy, or charcoal keeps things classic and warm.
Wool-blend fabrics work well for chillier days.
A floral tie or pocket square adds a spring-inspired touch.
Color Palette Inspiration: Dusty blue, sage green, lavender, and soft blush.
Summer (June–August)
Why We Love It: It's no secret—Montana summers are stunning. Who doesn't love long days, clear skies, and warm evenings? No wonder it’s peak wedding season, with plenty of venues offering beautiful outdoor backdrops and National Parks offering stunning elopement locations.
What Brides Should Wear:
Lightweight fabrics like chiffon, crepe, or tulle keep you cool and flowing.
Consider open-back designs, spaghetti straps, or off-the-shoulder styles.
A cathedral veil is beautiful in summer breezes (and looks amazing in photos!).
What Grooms Should Wear:
Lightweight suits in tan, light gray, or slate blue are perfect for summer heat.
Pair your suit coat with a matching vest and ditch the coat after photos, or wear suspenders for a rustic touch.
Brown leather shoes pair beautifully with lighter suit tones.
Color Palette Inspiration: Big Sky blue, Yellowstone yellow, Glacier green, bright floral tones, or light neutrals.
Fall (September–October)
Why We Love It: Cooler temps, brilliant hues, and fewer crowds make fall one of the most magical times to marry in Montana. The landscape is filled with amber, crimson, and rustic tones.
What Brides Should Wear:
Satin, mikado, or structured crepe gowns offer style and warmth.
Add a velvet wrap, cashmere shawl, or faux fur stole for cozy elegance.
Earth-toned accessories or floral embroidery are perfect seasonal touches.
Boho and Western styles are especially popular in the fall and can be paired with boots, hats, and western-inspired outerwear.
What Grooms Should Wear:
Browns, tans, deep green, or classic black look striking.
Consider pairing with earth-toned ties and pocket squares to tie in the rustic landscape.
Boots or brown leather dress shoes round out the look.
Color Palette Inspiration: Rust, champagne, sage, gold, and copper.
Winter (November–February)
Why We Love It: Montana in the winter has all the magic of your favorite snow globe. Snow-dusted peaks, candlelit venues, and cozy indoor ceremonies make for a romantic and unforgettable wedding.
What Brides Should Wear:
Long-sleeved gowns with lace, satin, or sparkle are ideal for the season.
Faux fur wraps, velvet gloves, and pearl accessories are both stylish and functional.
Don’t forget thermal tights or leggings for snowy photos!
What Grooms Should Wear:
A classic black tux or various hues of blue create a sophisticated winter look.
Polished black dress shoes are practical and elegant.
Color Palette Inspiration: Icy blue, silver, deep red, forest green, and plum.
