Practically for every event in society, there are established rules for choosing clothes - an unwritten dress code that allows emphasizing the importance of the moment and the solemnity of the situation. Do not make exceptions and wedding ceremonies. Special attention is paid to the dresses of the ladies present, it is their taste and elegance that will become the unique frame of the wedding image of the bride and will remain on the memorable photographs.
For the representatives of the fair sex themselves, the wedding ceremony is a great excuse to feel like at the royal ball and try to become the most spectacular, after the bride, woman at the celebration.
Fundamental rules
For guests invited to the wedding, it is important not only to choose a suitable gift for the newlyweds, but also to choose the right outfit to match the situation and not to be trapped.
First, you should check with the future newlyweds, in what way they plan to hold a wedding.
Recently, themed weddings, outdoor activities, unusual and informal venues for celebrations have gained immense popularity.
As a rule, a young couple notifies those invited in advance about such nuances, but there are times when even at classic weddings you may feel uncomfortable if you do not get to the point with the outfit.
And, on the contrary, a clear understanding of where the celebration will take place, what level and status of the banquet facility, what time of day is allotted for the wedding, will greatly facilitate the selection of attire and allow you to create an elegant and complete image, fully appropriate to the setting.
There are also certain rules that should be followed at all wedding ceremonies. Wedding dress code for female guests is not strict and not critical. It covers several areas that you just need to keep in mind when choosing a dress.
Colour
Monochrome white and black are taboo for women's wedding attire.
White on this day is the privilege of the bride, and black, according to the established tradition, is associated with very different, gloomy ceremonies. However, in this case there may be exceptions, if the bride chooses a non-white color scheme for her outfit.
For example, the wedding dress of the bride and groom will be in burgundy or blue. Then the guest is not forbidden to set off the image of the hero of the occasion with a white dress. However, in this case, the guest's dress should be modest enough not to catch the eye, since the white color will automatically attract the attention of guests, associating with the bride.
As for the black color, it is permissible for a girl not from among the close friends of the bride to go in a little black dress in the French manner of Coco Chanel. This image should be selected with caution, taking into account the parameters of the figure, selecting elegant non-flashy accessories.
Age
We must not forget that every age has its own style, and a wedding is just an event where you should, if possible, keep within your age limits. Bright shades, short skirts, frivolous frills and necklines will suit young girls.
However, you should avoid strict suits, thick fabrics and rich dark tones.
Ladies aged will look more elegant in clothes of noble flowers with a minimum of ruches and bows. Women balzakovskogo age and older should abandon the outfits of variegated colors, cheap jewelry. But strict trouser suits made of dense monophonic fabric will look very respectable.The image can be softened with an elegant hat, exquisite jewelry.
Fabrics
The texture of the fabric for the festive costume is chosen appropriately for the time of the year, as well as the venue for the celebration and the general orientation of the event. Heavy dense fabrics for evening dresses will be especially appropriate in a restaurant during the cold season, and for summer weddings, light textures of bright or delicate colors will do.
Style
The type of holiday dress is chosen on the figure and kept within the framework of decency.
Too deep cleavage, the most bare back to the waist, transparent blouses are unacceptable at the wedding.
It is not too aesthetic for the event, where relatives of newlyweds of different ages will gather, and in the daytime at the wedding ceremony such an outfit will look just vulgar.
Regardless of the figure, the image of the guest must be complete and harmonious, and the clothes are elegant and matched in size.
A full woman, even of a young age, should not give up pants just because the wedding is made to wear dresses or skirts. “Flying” light fabrics, free fit of trousers in combination with a jacket or blouse will look very stylish, and the hostess will allow them to feel confident and irresistible.
The witness
The role of the witness at the wedding is no longer so obligatory, but many brides, by tradition, wish to see the best friend next to them. She will be there throughout the whole celebration - in the wedding hall, at the table, in wedding photos. Therefore, if a girl is to act as a witness, you should be especially careful when choosing a festive attire.
The main task is to most effectively emphasize the image of the bride, Do not overshadow it, but do not look too faded. In order for the tandem of the bride and the witness to make a truly wonderful impression, the friends should discuss their outfits, their style and color orientation in advance.
The dress of the witness will always be half muffled more subtly than the wedding attire of the bride. To the classic white crinoline the newlywed witness can choose any pastel colors, blurred in mother-of-pearl or more saturated.
Turquoise, celadon, delicate pink, peach or lilac shade will look beautiful.
But deep tones, such as burgundy or purple, it is better to avoid, so as not to look too gloomy next to the snow-white hero of the occasion.
Bridesmaids
According to Western fashion, many brides prefer not to be limited to one witness, but to invite several girlfriends to a close circle at once. The expression "bridesmaids" means girls whose outfit has something in common with each other in style or color.
As a rule, these are dresses of different styles, but of the same color range. Or different colors, but common items of clothing.
At the same time, the bride can have any accessory that speaks about the style belonging to this group of girls. Most often - this is a bridal bouquet, a flower on a bracelet or in a hair style of the same color scale as a girlfriend's dress.
Such flocks of girls resemble bright butterflies and are a decoration of the wedding. In the photographs, they set off the bride in a snow-white dress, creating a stylish color frame for her outfits.
Seasons
Another important criterion for choosing a dress for a wedding celebration is seasonality. Each season has its own requirements for clothes, which leave an imprint on the choice of fabrics, styles and colors. Most women intuitively understand such nuances, but it is better to be safe once again before a responsible event.
- Summer season. The warm season has the largest number of clothing options for a wedding celebration. Evening and cocktail dresses for a restaurant, sundresses, light blouses, air cloth dresses for outdoor parties.
In the summer it is important to choose breathable fabrics that do not hinder movement and do not create the effect of a greenhouse.During the warm period, bright sunny shades, reminiscent of summer flowers, are welcome.
The summer season in a color palette is represented by the transition from delicate flowers of spring to bright summer tones, and then to warm shades of the coming autumn. Choosing an outfit, you can focus on the month in which the wedding is held and dress in pastel colors in May or in golden-reddish - in September.
- Winter season. Weddings, arranged in winter, late autumn or early spring, dictate their conditions when choosing the right clothes. First of all, it should be warm, so that the festive mood does not turn into a cold by the evening of the celebration.
However, it is not at all necessary to choose thick sweaters, fine wool fabrics, elegant jackets and silk skirts, evening dresses made of velvet and satin will do. In addition, in the dressing room of the banquet hall you can always take off outerwear, change boots for fashion shoes.
Even if heating works well in the restaurant hall, the winter season itself does not imply the presence of summer dresses, sundresses and sandals. For this time of year, it is better to choose respectable dresses of noble fabrics.
Accessories
It is no secret that an outfit for an elegant woman is only part of the image. The complementary and final touch are accessories, jewelry and shoes. They should be selected, taking into account the color and texture of the fabric, relevance and suitability of the setting.
Jewelry should not be too much, and cheap jewelry is simply inappropriate. Let it be a small set of jewelry, but from precious metals with natural stones. Beautiful jewelry, made in the same style, looks much more profitable and sleeker than a mixed mixture of metals and plastic.
Shoes should be ideally suited to the selected costume, to be its continuation. But at the same time it is very important that the shoes are comfortable, because the wedding is an event that is very long in time and lasts from early morning until late at night. All day the guest will have to walk, dance, take pictures - you should think about your legs in advance!
If you do not want to give up the high heel, you can take with you a pair of interchangeable shoes, but also completely suitable for a dress or suit.
It is better to leave the handbag of a large size immediately in the wardrobe of the restaurant, and you should have a small clutch with you. It is convenient to place it on your lap or on a chair while dancing, and a pocket mirror, napkins and lipstick will always be at hand.
If a wedding is planned in a church, the guest should take care of a headscarf. In order not to buy at the last moment what the nearest sellers can offer, it is better to purchase in advance a light air scarf to match the color of the dress.
