Norwegians may be the most casual dressers in day to day life but on special occasions they dress very formally. So expect lot of well dressed women and men in suits.<br /> It will be very cold in January so people would wear boots and coats to venue and change into high heels were they hang the coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729825 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 21:03:48 +0000 minimalist 1729825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And this contains an outline of some wedding traditions:<br /> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/norge/comments/3dnqdm/norsk_bryllup_tradisjoner/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/norge.....adisjoner/</a><br /> Most couples won't do all of these, but it describes a few things which could come up and might be new to you, depending on your own culture's and particular social group's wedding traditions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729823 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 20:59:19 +0000 minimalist 1729823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doing an image search for norsk (Norwegian) bryllup (wedding) will lead you to a variety of sites, some of which will have pictures of guests in relevant attire. Many pictures show summer weddings, so adding "vinter" will narrow things further.</p> <p>This blog entry includes a sleigh picture for Xtabay! :-)<br /> <a href="http://www.norwegianweddingblog.com/2013/11/vinterinspirasjon-til-bryllup-vinner-av.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.norwegianweddingblo.....er-av.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729815 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 20:50:25 +0000 minimalist 1729815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bobbins, the netflix show won't be directly helpful for your purposes. But it will show some of what some non-urban locals would wear on an everyday basis around that time of year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729767 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 18:36:23 +0000 Bobbins 1729767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Xtabay - those are the scenes I had in my head, but when I started googling Norwegian weddings I found nothing!!<br /> I will check netflicks now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729741 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 17:39:46 +0000 minimalist 1729741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or this:<br /> <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3y4ckh_bergensbanen-minutt-for-minutt-2009-v-trailer_shortfilms" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymotion.com/vid.....shortfilms</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729737 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 17:34:45 +0000 minimalist 1729737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll have what Xtabay's having. :-)</p> <p>While waiting for native YLFers to chime in, you could check out the Netflix show Lilyhammer.<br /> <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilyhammer" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilyhammer</a><br /> I don't recall any wedding scenes (do the Marian Saastad Ottesen and Steven van Zandt characters get married?), but there's a lot of beautiful countryside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729732 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 17:26:33 +0000 Anonymous 1729732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds incredibly romantic.&nbsp; I'm picturing Dr. Zhivago-like outfits with long, (faux) fur-lined elegant coats, and over-the-knee boots (again, fur-lined), topped with a fur hat.&nbsp; And arrival at the church in a sleigh, of course!&nbsp; Obviously, I'm out of control. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729729 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 17:19:45 +0000 minimalist 1729729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have a hat that's formal enough to wear with a suit, you might find that keeping your head warm makes it possible to survive stocking'd legs and nice shoes in very cold weather for a lot longer than you'd ever imagined possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729715 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 16:54:24 +0000 Bobbins 1729715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoes, with boots on stand by, was kind of my thought.....however I didn't want to be the only one!<br /> Looking at the weather there in January 2016, it ranged between -8 and -29!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729710 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 16:43:16 +0000 minimalist 1729710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depending on weather, there's a non-zero chance you'll see some Hunter boots with nice dresses. </p> <p>Back when I lived in suits, I had several sheath dresses with matching long jackets; that's what I would wear to a wedding like this. (It's not expected to buy something new and impractical.) Accessories can make it festive, if you like, but it's more important to be dressed respectfully (for the church and/or civil officials) and not to outshine the bride. </p> <p>I would wear warm stockings and nice shoes, and a warm wrap in a flattering color, and have boots in the car. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729703 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 16:36:52 +0000 Angie 1729703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, we have a few Norwegian Fabbers, so I hope they will chime in.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729702 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 16:35:19 +0000 Bobbins 1729702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's In Kvitfjell. The wedding is in the local church and the reception in a hotel. Looking at it geographically, it's truelly in the middle of nowhere - approx 3 hours north from Oslo airport. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/norwegian-wedding---january#post-1729701 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 16:29:39 +0000 minimalist 1729701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where in Norway (geographically) will the wedding take place?<br /> Is this a courthouse wedding, or in a church?
