Each of them has its own advantages and advantages. But most importantly - the current assortment allows you to choose the most successful option for each individual bride. So let's take a closer look.
Lace shoulders
An outfit with straps made of lace gives a certain piquancy to the image. After all, before us is a translucent fabric, which means the shoulders will be visible through it. At the same time, the outfit looks feminine, luxurious, creates a romantic image.
So if your goal is precisely this, then feel free to give preference to lace shoulders. The perfect complement to them is a long veil of lace. A few simple elements and you are the real decoration of the celebration. Indeed, that is exactly what the bride should look like.
Drapery on the shoulder
A very sophisticated, bold and sophisticated option. Just imagine how you expose one shoulder, while the second is amazingly decorated with drapery.
If you have beautiful shoulders, as well as a seductive neckline, then this strap is created just for you.
Outfit with wide straps
Wedding dresses, complemented by wide straps, are usually performed in straight and concise styles (Empire style, Greek style). Fixed on the shoulders with metal inserts, they make the assembly natural and create an attractive composition. And decorate them with a minimum number of decorations. All attention is concentrated on the straps.
They, in turn, are performed in different shapes - triangular, straight, arched and so on. They are decorated at the discretion of the bride or designer. So, brooches, flowers, embroideries, and rhinestones act as decor.
Sometimes so beautiful lace is used that additional jewelry will be superfluous.
One closed shoulder (asymmetry)
It is worth taking a look at along with an asymmetric one shoulder strap. It looks amazing, like a kind of work of art. Then, precisely, an additional abundance of jewelry will not be required, since all the emphasis is placed correctly.
This option is suitable for girls of any height and physique. And the goal will make the small breasts visually larger. It is also important to note the closed neckline, which allows you to get a full wedding, and not some overly frank dress. Straps act as a continuation of the bodice, and the neckline is mainly made V-shaped.
With long sleeves
Wedding dresses with closed shoulders and arms look feminine and modest. And if you add a deep neckline to them, then it is incredibly sexy: an effective game of contrasts is created that will not leave anyone indifferent.
Wedding bolero
Functions of boleros can be different. It depends on the cut, as well as the material from which it is made.
- Correction of the figure, hiding certain shortcomings and emphasis on virtues. If the bride’s hands are full, you can hide them with a long-sleeved bolero. This greatly expands the choice of the dress itself. Also, the bolero makes it possible to choose a wedding outfit with open shoulders. If the shoulders are narrow, then the bolero should be with voluminous sleeves and white, because it is fat.
- Fur-based boleros are saved if the street is cool enough. Knitted patterns are suitable for early autumn or spring.
- The bolero adorns the dress itself, makes it more unique and original. Plus, do not forget how elegant the image of the bride becomes.
- I want to bare my shoulders, but this is not always appropriate. For example, in a registry office or in a church at a wedding. Covering your bolero’s shoulders, you don’t have to sacrifice the desire to wear that particular dress.
- Knitted and lace bolero patterns will serve you even after the wedding, as they can perfectly complement an evening dress, if there is a color match.
And you need to be able to choose the right bolero for the wedding. To do this, we advise you to follow a few simple rules and pay attention to details.
- Bolero should be combined with the outfit not only in color but also in style. The uniformity of the elements is better, but if the bolero matches the color of the jewelry or the bride’s bouquet, then the contrast can be changed.
- Such an accessory does not harmonize with V-shaped cutouts. And it fits under thin straps or under outfits without them.
- Take into account the fact that your bolero will focus on your upper body.
- If there are beads or rhinestones on the dress, make sure that they are not on the bolero. If the dress is modest, then decorating the bolero is only welcome.
Cape Shawl
Some elements of the wedding attire serve not only as a decoration of the image, but also sometimes play an important functional role. A striking example is the capes and shawls. With their help, you can protect yourself from the vagaries of the weather, hide from the cold or hide your open shoulders from the sun.
Features of their choice are as follows:
- First of all, make sure that the dress and the cape are combined in style and fit your figure. Having a wide range of options allows you to easily find the right cloak.
- The shawls are comfortable because they can easily be thrown over your shoulders and removed if necessary. They add sexuality and grace to the image. They protect well from wind and sun. Shawls made of light transparent fabric are relevant for spring and summer weddings, while fur models are suitable for weddings in winter.
- Fur coats will serve you well in the winter. Their important advantage is that they are combined with almost any model of a wedding outfit.
- When choosing a wrap, be sure to immediately measure it with the dress itself. Separately, it is not recommended to buy separately, since then it is difficult to achieve the perfect combination. Renting is also not recommended. Otherwise, you will have to watch all day so as not to tear it and not to get it dirty. And you need to think about yourself and your wedding.
- Colored wraps are not appropriate when choosing a classic outfit.
Jacket and Poncho
Such an accessory to a wedding dress like a jacket is chosen by many brides. It has an adjacent silhouette, often there is no collar, and the sleeves can be either long or short.
The basic materials for making jackets are lace, down, silk and satin. In fact, fur jackets are fur coats.
With the help of such an accessory, you can correct the figure, make it more slim and tall. It should be added that under dresses with V-shaped cuts, jackets are difficult to select. This element can be supplemented with stones, embroideries, rhinestones, but only if the dress itself is strict and restrained. A simple jacket will fit richly decorated outfits.
As for the wedding poncho, it is a cloak with a slot in the center for the head. Today, designers offer a variety of light, lace, silk and chiffon ponchos, which will be a great addition to the image of the bride during the ceremony in spring and summer. If the wedding is scheduled for autumn or winter, then give preference to a knitted or fur poncho.
Choose the length yourself - from incredibly long to very short. Having chosen a long and thin poncho, you can safely refuse a veil. She may look out of place.
Transformer Wedding Dress with Detachable Top
Legs of the bride prefer transforming dresses. With their help, with a few simple movements, the dress changes, it is perceived completely differently than initially. That is, one dress creates several images at the same time. Popular model transformers have a removable top. A striking example is some models of the brand Papilio. Straps on them get off simply, thereby opening the girl’s elegant line of shoulders.
Another option is a detachable lace. In this case, the contrast is amazing.It is like two completely different outfits.
It is also worth taking a closer look at the thin lace top that will cover the neckline. Decorated with a belt at the waist, it is suitable for holding a ceremony in the church. Already in the evening or after the wedding, this element is removed, making the bride more sexy and frank.
If you have a tattoo that you don’t want to show to everyone, you can hide it with an additional removable top. Having a removable top and bottom, this will allow you to wear the dress repeatedly even after the wedding. For example, the marriage of friends, wedding anniversaries and so on. No one would even guess that this was previously a wedding dress.
In the evening, it becomes cool, and therefore it will be appropriate for the bride to have at her disposal a lace wrap or stole that is worn or tied to the dress. This is an easy way to change the image in an original way.
You can use removable capes on the floor, and put on a cocktail dress underneath. Due to this, the upper part can be smelled by a belt, and even with active fun, none of the parts of the outfit will definitely disappear.
It is worth paying attention to the detachable inserts of the original contrasting colors. Removing and putting them on again, you can change the image regularly. And the guests will try to understand how you manage to change your dress so often.
I just fell in love with a dress that has closed sleeves. Before that, she imagined herself in another dress. But no, here it is - my ideal image.
