Bridesmaid bracelets

The role of the witness at the wedding obliges to be perfect to the tips of the nails. The bridesmaid's bracelet is not just an accessory, it is the most important part of the image, which emphasizes the special status of its owner at the celebration.

A wedding is always like a major theatrical performance, in which all events are strictly subject to traditions and carry some special meaning. Modern weddings are also subject to these traditions, but recently there has been an active borrowing of some elements of Western culture. From there, the idea came to replace the outdated, bulky Witness of Honor ribbons with elegant bracelets on the wrist and a boutonniere in a jacket pocket.

The history of bracelets for bridesmaids is rooted in a very distant past. So, for example, there is evidence that in ancient Rome this accessory played a very important role at every wedding. In the traditions of that time, there was a procession of the bride from the house of her parents to the house of the future spouse.In this procession, in addition to the bride, her closest friends took part. All the girls were dressed in wedding dresses. This was done so that in the event of a kidnapping of the bride, it would be difficult to determine which of the girls should be taken away. This is where the flower bracelet came to the fore. All the witnesses decorated their hands with them - this is the only thing that distinguished them from the bride. In addition, at least 10 witnesses and witnesses had to be present at the wedding of that time, otherwise it was considered illegal.

During this period, the kidnapping of the bride for ransom was something mundane and frightening. Bridesmaids risked themselves by wearing wedding dresses. Many believed that a bracelet made of white, delicate flowers would protect from trouble, save from attack - so it turned into a talisman "for good luck."

Today, the bride's bracelets have less meaning, they are not something supernatural or irreplaceable. Now it is just an original decorative element that emphasizes the special status of its owner at the celebration.

There are several options for the name of such jewelry, which can be ranked in a small rating. TOP of the most common name options:

• Corsage on hand. This name comes from ancient Rome, where it was customary to make jewelry according to the corsage principle. It was made from several separate pieces of leather and fastened with lacing. Such a bracelet fit snugly to the hand, did not hang out and did not untie. In addition, decor elements can be more securely attached to such a dense base.
• Bridesmaid boutonniere. In fact, a boutonniere is something completely different. This name is used by analogy with the male boutonniere, which is put into the jacket pocket of a male witness.
• The simplest and most successful name is obvious - Bridesmaid bracelet.

For a witness bracelet, several factors are very important that can affect the choice of materials. The first thing to pay attention to is the aesthetic component. It must be perfect, beautiful, elegant. The second important factor is resistance to mechanical damage. This means that it must be durable, because the wedding sometimes lasts more than 10 hours.

Fresh flower decorations look very noble and rich. When making a choice in favor of such a product, one should remember that the flowers will fade rather quickly without water. If the wedding takes place in the summer, then such decoration is hardly enough to visit the registry office. In cool seasons, it can be enough up to a restaurant, but there it is likely to quickly become unusable. In addition, not all florists are able to make such a product durable. Often flowers fall out and get lost quite quickly, so you need to contact a reliable, proven specialist. The most durable will be a flower bracelet made of chrysanthemums or roses, and a product made of tulips will die almost immediately.

Artificial flowers - this is a great option for a long wedding: they do not fade, they are easily and firmly attached to the base, therefore they are resistant to mechanical stress.Owners of good taste can easily make beautiful compositions for jewelry. The bride can easily assemble such a bracelet for her bridesmaids on her own.

Foamiran - This is a modern material for needlework. It is very soft and supple, similar to polymer clay. With it, you can create unique fantasy products. So, for example, you can make a bracelet in the form of one large flower or a complex composition of their bouquet of small flowers, berries and even insects. Working with foamiran requires imagination, good practice and perseverance. Products made from it have an incredibly attractive appearance, they are very beautiful and lifelike. However, there is one minus in a bracelet made of this material. Foamiran is a rather fragile substance, so you need to be extremely careful when wearing it.

The most durable product can rightly be considered a bracelet made of satin ribbons. At first glance, it may seem that such a product will be too simple, homely and not original, but this is not at all the case. Thanks to the kanzashi technique popular with modern needlewomen, a product made of satin ribbons can take on an incredible and intricate shape. Modern bright materials will allow you to create jewelry in any color scheme and any shape. If this technique is too complicated, then it is quite possible to make simpler jewelry from ribbons and decorate them with rhinestones, stones, pearls or beads.

Also very popular are bracelets richly decorated with lace flowers or complex lace compositions. On such bracelets, large brooches studded with Swarovski stones, crystal, zirconium or other sparkling stones will look very appropriate.

In recent years, the organization of weddings united by a common color scheme has been in special demand. As a rule, this is some bright color that contrasts perfectly with the white dress of the bride. Products of this color can decorate literally everything that surrounds the young on this day: bridesmaids' dresses, groomsmen's ties, flowers and napkins on tables, bows on chairs. This color can be an obligatory part of the dress code for guests, it can be present as a decor for the bride's dress and the groom's suit. Not surprisingly, the boutonnieres of witnesses are subject to this trend.

For several years now, the lilac color has been popular with almost all designers. Today he is not at the peak of his fame, but he is still in incredible demand. Weddings decorated with different shades of lilac are found almost everywhere. The composition of the bridesmaids' bracelet in this color scheme can include both fresh flowers and those made by needlewomen. It can be spring field violets, lilacs, lupins, chrysanthemums, large and small roses and much more. However, this color is gradually going out of fashion, so you should think about whether you should pay attention to it.

last summer trend – This is a wedding with rich blue decor. In this color scheme, blue chrysanthemums, the rarest blue roses and rather expensive, but very original blue orchids, were in special demand. In nature, it is quite difficult to find flowers of a rich blue color, so needlewomen often come to the rescue of girls. Blue color gives room for imagination. With it, you can create unique compositions from felt or foamiran, which will have no analogues.

Wedding in juicy green colors - This is a solution for very brave people. The bride's bouquet at such a wedding can be decorated not only with flowers, but also with more unexpected components: glossy green apples, leaves and ribbons. Green satin and silk, green and light green peonies, delicate lilies of the valley with their large leaves, white chamomile chrysanthemums with green cores would be quite appropriate for the bracelet of the witness. In addition, you can find rare selective green orchids that will be a wonderful decoration for any bracelet.

This complex deep color is even difficult to describe, and even more so to maintain a single shade in the design of the entire wedding.. That is why a wedding united by this color scheme will look completely original, very rich and will not be forgotten by any of the guests for many years. In our latitudes, you can find only two plants whose flowers are suitable for such a celebration: peony and calla lilies. Bracelets with barely opened peony buds will look a bit bulky, but very unusual, and calla lilies bracelets will look expensive and elegant. In elite flower shops it is also possible to order orchids or roses artificially painted in this color. But, as a rule, this color looks unnatural and dull.

Another trend for this summer is a rich contrast of bright red with white. A wedding in this style is perhaps one of the easiest tasks for florists, because there are millions of white and red flowers in nature. Creating a bracelet for bridesmaids in this color scheme is a great pleasure, because here you can show your imagination and combine an incredible number of colors.

Wedding is a place where nothing insignificant exists. Here everything is extremely important, here everything “works” to ensure that the image of the bride and groom is perfect. Therefore, it is so important that honorary witnesses look harmonious. In this situation, by the way, the boutonniere of the witness and the bracelet of the witness turn out to be. If they are made in the same style, then it practically does not matter what their owners are wearing and how much their clothes “harmonize” with each other. This factor is very important at those weddings where the images of witnesses are thought out not under the general theme of the celebration, but independently of it. In such a situation, it is best to order jewelry from the same florist who makes the bride's bouquet. He will select flowers that will perfectly harmonize with the bouquet, emphasize its beauty and create an overall style.

A wedding organized with an emphasis on carrot color looks very unusual. Long transforming bridesmaid dresses, the appearance of which can be easily changed by throwing a strap or tying it on a belt, should ideally fit the different types of figures of the bride's witnesses. This fairly versatile color suits girls with different skin types and hair colors. Complementing the images of witnesses are white lace bracelets with carrot-colored gerberas. All this emphasizes the overall style of the wedding, which can also be seen in the images of the newlyweds.

Dresses of bridesmaids of the color of the blue bottomless ocean, illuminated by the bright rays of the summer sun, can turn a wedding into the most exquisite celebration.Perfectly matched outfits, taking into account the peculiarities of such different figures and taste preferences of girlfriends, make each of them unique, elegant, magnificent. So different and beautiful, they do not overshadow the bride at all, on the contrary, they subtly emphasize her light and delicate image. An important role in this is played by the bracelets of witnesses, made of flowers identical to those that are the basis of the bride's bouquet. All together they create the illusion of gentle mermaids who have emerged from the depths of the ocean to fill this world with happiness.

The emerald color is so self-sufficient that it does not need any bright accessories. A bracelet made of small white flowers, such as daisies or lilies of the valley, would be very appropriate. You can also complement the image with a decoration from a contrasting burgundy peony bud. If the bride has many friends and not everyone likes such a bright style, they will look very original in dresses of emerald and calm beige colors. Such an army of witnesses will certainly not allow the kidnapping of the bride from the wedding and turn the celebration into a noisy, fun holiday.

Bordeaux is the color of young wine. This deep tone emphasizes the natural beauty of young girls, brings charm and sophistication to their image. A dress of this color can be safely complemented with large gold accessories, such as a belt, brooch or bracelet. The thin bracelet of the witness with one large flower, made of a transparent ribbon and complemented by several thin ribbons, looks very elegant.

Therefore, everything in her image, including jewelry, should be aimed at solving this problem.Therefore, the bracelet plays such an important role in the image of the witness and in the image of the bride herself.
