The image of the ideal bride is going to trifles. On this beautiful day, nothing should be picked up somehow. Any element of the outfit is important: dress, veil, decorative jewelry, flowers, shoes, gloves. Everything should be chosen with taste and look harmonious.
Wedding gloves are an accessory that a few years ago was considered completely undeservedly forgotten. But today's fashion turn brought this item of women's wardrobe to a leading position, and now it is an invariable attribute of any evening or holiday look, including a wedding dress.
Features
The tradition of putting on gloves triumphs appeared many years ago. Back in the Middle Ages, this accessory played an important role in the life of a woman. A young man in a sign of sympathy and affection handed a pair of gloves to his lady of the heart. If she accepted them, it meant consent and a speedy wedding.
In the XVIII century, this accessory was used by almost all the ladies of noble and aristocratic origin. To go out with bare hands was considered a sign of bad taste. Modern brides perceive gloves as an elegant, feminine accessory that complements a wedding outfit.
Modern fashion designers offer women a huge selection of different models: long and short, knitted and lace, with fingers and without fingers, transparent and dense, modest and richly decorated. Any bride can easily find a suitable pair for her outfit. The main thing is that the gloves are ideally suited to the dress and veil: they have something in common with the pattern, technique, color.
Gloves - the accessory is very self-sufficient, so the wedding image should not be overloaded with other details. Only in this case, the image of the bride will look really stylish, feminine and harmonious.
Models
Wedding gloves can vary in several ways: length, material, design, presence of decor, style.
Gloves can be short (covering the wrist), medium length (slightly above the wrist or to the middle of the forearm) and long (covering the elbow and reaching the armpits).
Vintage models are perfect for a bride dressed in retro style. It can be a dress below the knee with a bell skirt. Gloves can be complemented by a small, fluffy frill. This will make the girlish look sweet and romantic. These same gloves look great with models of dresses with short sleeves-flashlights.
Gloves of classical length are perfectly combined with almost all models of dresses with short sleeves or without them.
Models longer than the elbow harmoniously look with open dresses without sleeves or on thin straps. They give the image of sophisticated elegance and nobility.
The most beautiful fabrics are used to create wedding accessories: satin, silk, guipure, lace, jacquard, crepe, taffeta, elegant chintz, cotton and other fabrics.
Fingerless gloves are divided into 2 groups:
- Mitts (a neat, concise accessory that opens fingers).
- Models with a satin eyelet, which is mounted on the middle finger.
To complement the summer outfit, airy gloves made of expensive lace or lace mitts are recommended.
Winter wedding gloves can be knitted or sewn from satin and other dense fabrics. Knitted patterns will look great with the outfit of the bride, designed in an original, unusual style. For example, when a dress is supplemented with a fur coat, and stylish uggs or cute felt boots are used as shoes.
Decorated gloves must be combined with the outfit of the bride. If pearls, rhinestones, lace, satin flowers, ribbons are used for decoration, then the dress should also decorate the same elements.
If according to the celebration scenario it is planned that the bridesmaids, including the smallest ones, will be dressed in the same style, then their image should also be thought out to the smallest detail. Moreover, today designers offer satin or lace gloves for girls of different ages. Therefore, young ladies may not worry that they will not look elegantly and elegantly on a festive evening.
Color schemes
Gloves - an accessory that is selected in style and color for the main outfit or dress. Classical models are often performed snow-white, like the vast majority of wedding dresses. White gloves are universal, they are perfectly combined with dresses and other colors, for example, black, red, milk, cream, pink. Well, if the image will provide another detail of white color, for example, shoes, boutonniere, hairpin.
If the dress is not made in the classic version, then the accessories should be matched in the same color or as much as possible combined with it. For example, ivory-colored gloves will look great with a champagne-colored dress, light golden and delicate beige. For a dress of lilac color, models of a pale pink or mint shade are perfect.
By the way, if in the wedding salon you can’t find the accessories of the right color, then you can always do it yourself. Such an exclusive detail will make the image of the bride even more vivid and memorable.
Selection tips
When choosing small things and accessories for a wedding celebration, one should start from different points: what is the dress made of, what is decorated with, what is its length, stylistic direction, season.
For example, in winter, gloves serve not only as a worthy completion of the image, but also as a means to protect hands from the cold. Therefore, it is best to choose models not from thin lace, but from jacquard, shiny satin or velvet.Mesh materials, guipure, lace are perfect for a hot summer.
Selection to the style of the dress
For an outfit made in the Empire style, tulle or chiffon gloves with a length just below the elbow are suitable. They can be smooth or slightly corrugated to blend with the drapery and dress assembly.
The magnificent princess dress is usually richly decorated with lace, satin, beads, rhinestones, sequins. In this case, it is best to choose concise, elegant gloves without jewelry.
For dresses made in the style of a mermaid, long, taxing gloves are perfect.
As for the choice of a classic model with fingers or mitts, this is a matter of convenience. Mittens look more elegant, besides they are practical (practically do not get dirty during walks in the city). They have one, but quite significant drawback: they visually shorten their fingers.
Wedding magazines will help you choose the right model, which should be reviewed in advance, before choosing and buying directly.
Accessories are matched to the dress, and not vice versa. The longer the sleeve, the shorter the gloves should be.
By the way, this attribute of a wedding dress does not have to be very expensive. Modern materials, for example, polyester or nylon, are in no way inferior to natural silk, but are much cheaper.
In addition, do not forget some of the features of wearing this elegant accessory:
- The ring is worn only on a bare hand.
- You can take flowers and gifts with gloves, but it is recommended to take them off during the feast.
- A fluffy princess dress in combination with a multi-tiered lace veil do not need additional jewelry. In this case, the hands can be left open.
