At this time of year, especially in Ireland & the UK, tights at weddings are more and more popular - for guests, bridesmaids and for brides. Tights will of course keep you warm, but can add character and style to an outfit too. If you are wearing a long dress you may not even see your tights, but they will be invaluable for keeping you warm during outdoor wedding portraits. Not convinced? We've gathered some inspiration, along with our favourite brands perfect for weddings and events long after the wedding day...
