Just wear a cocktail dress, light colors are great, but you can also never go wrong with black. Then wear a nice coat over your dress. -- (I was in the same situation last year, and I just wore my boyfriend's suit jacket over my dress). You don't want to be overly glamorous, so cocktail attire is the best choice.

No matter what season your wedding is in, it should be whatever you've dreamed it would be. A winter wedding dress should not be limited by the time of your wedding. If you have it indoors, temperature should not matter too much.
"One gorgeous look for the winter bride is a strapless gown topped by a faux fur-trimmed, hooded cloak. Throw back the hood, wear your hair in a sleek, tiara-topped chignon, then warm your hands with a luxuriant fur muff. Of course, this combo won't quite work if your dress is made of a delicate chiffon, so to be sure to choose a gown that's substantial and lined, made of satin, brocade or any other heavy fabric.
Another popular choice is an asymmetrical faux fur wrap that rests on one shoulder, or the fur or marabou shrug that covers both. These styles are the perfect finish for a strapless gown with minimal beading.
Winter is also a terrific time to go all-out with ball gown, princess or A-line silhouettes, cathedral-length veils and trains (make sure they're detachable), sleek formal updos, and plenty of glittering jewelry. St. Pucchi's Classics line has some wonderfully lacy, lined, trumpet-sleeved gowns that fit the bill perfectly.
If you're daring, Monique Lhuillier offers a few offbeat gowns with a vintage touch that also suit the winter months, with their long sleeves and illusion lace bodices. If you go to a major couture clearinghouse and search for long-sleeved dresses, you might find season-appropriate gowns by Reem Acra, Paloma Couture and Carolina Herrera, for starters. But if your budget's not up to the occasional $5,000 price tag, see if a local seamstress can't copy the dress you desire for a much more palatable price.
As for the shoes — well, you could wear something practical and change right before you enter the chapel. But winter brides have the perfect excuse to wear those beautiful lace-up wedding boots ... an opportunity not to be missed. "

I would suggest a short-ish dress with a very long coat. Possibly medevil looking in style, with sleeves that are flared at the cuffs etc.
