wedding gloves

Since ancient times, gloves have been considered a luxury item and a sign of a high position in society. Historians say the first gloves were found in the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs. Around the 12th century, entire factories for the manufacture of gloves arose in Europe.

In England, for example, the knights, in order to achieve the location of their lady of the heart, presented her with this particular piece of clothing as a gift. The lady, if she was inclined to reciprocate her admirer, put them on for the wedding. The first gloves were short, had only holes for the fingers, and they had no covers at all. Later, around the 16th century, long gloves came into fashion. It is believed that the first lady who dared to change fashion and put on gloves to the elbow was none other than the majestic Elizabeth I.

• Mitts. They come in two types with cut off fingers and with a loop that is worn on the middle finger. The former used to wear them for hunting or for war. Modern brides have chosen them to complement the image.

This option is optimal for the warm season, or if a photo session in cold air is not provided. They can be left on during the solemn part of the ceremony, and the groom can put the ring directly on them. They will not be a hindrance at the table. It is also convenient to receive flowers and congratulations in them. However, such an accessory visually shortens the hands, so it is more suitable for owners of long musical fingers.

Gloves with a loop on one finger will not slip off during the entire celebration. They provide an opportunity to demonstrate the perfect manicure - the pride of every bride. The eyelet is made of beads, beads or braid.

• · Short wedding gloves. They can be worn with dresses that have short sleeves, a puffy skirt or a midi length. If the dress has a long sleeve or does not have it at all, you should not wear them with this style. This visually lengthens the arms.

They are easily removed. During the painting and exchange of rings, the glove can decorate the groom's breast pocket for a while, and then also easily return to the bride's hand.

Such models look great with puffy skirts and knee-length.

However, such gloves should not be worn under a long dress, regardless of whether the dress has sleeves or not. A great alternative is mesh gloves trimmed with delicate lace. This fashion was at the peak of popularity at the beginning of the last century. Today, vintage items are back in fashion.

• Long gloves. They will be appropriate with a long formal dress with a train, with a deep neckline or thin straps. It's great if these are satin gloves or combined with lace. If the bride wants to hide some flaws on her hands, you can’t imagine a better alternative. The option above the elbow will be good on the street and in the registry office, but at the table it is better to remove them for greater comfort.

Gloves made of stretchy fabric are perfect for curvaceous brides. They will help hide some figure flaws and add confidence in their own attractiveness. Fragile girls, on the contrary, should not choose this option without first trying it on. It can visually reduce the already small proportions.

• Lace gloves. Wedding gloves made of translucent lace fabric will decorate any bride. This is a completely win-win option for any outfit, regardless of the texture of the fabric.

This style is suitable for any dress model, and it does not matter which fabric is taken as the basis for the manufacture of the product. When decorating lace gloves with stones or rhinestones, you do not need to choose large and bright specimens. Lace is beautiful in itself and you should not overload it with flashy decorations.

In order for the image of the bride to be complete, it is necessary that guipure or lace gloves echo the elements of the main outfit, or be complemented by some accessories. This can be, for example, a reticule or a lace umbrella made of the same fabric as the gloves. They should repeat not only the pattern of the elements on the dress, but also be of the same shade.

Lace gloves can be purchased ready-made, or you can knit them yourself. Previously, lace was woven on bobbins. Today, this type of needlework, unfortunately, is almost lost. But crocheted gloves will look no worse than woven ones.

Modern fashion is very democratic and it is absolutely not necessary to choose an outfit for a wedding exclusively in white. In addition, there are a huge number of shades of white. And here it is also important to choose the right version of gloves.

Relatively recently, the expression "ivory color" came into use. In English, it sounds like ivory and translates as ivory. A huge advantage of this shade is its versatility - this shade is suitable for almost any hair color and skin tone. However, he is good on his own and it is better to leave him in splendid isolation, picking up ivory gloves exclusively to match the dress.

As for the other colors, there are also rules here. So, for a dress in pastel colors, gloves are selected either in tone on tone, or in a contrasting color. For example, for a dress in the color of young greens, you can choose gloves in hot pink or dark green. A sky blue outfit will play with the color of violet or tea rose. And with a bright blue dress, you can wear classic white gloves. If you are hesitant to go for cardinal colors in your main outfit, but want to deviate a little from the traditional white, colored gloves are just what you need. Play in contrast by decorating a classic-colored dress with bright accessories - a belt, colored inserts or flowers on the dress and pick up gloves of the same color. For example, a white dress will look very original with cornflower blue gloves and a matching hat.

Gloves with warm golden shimmer, with pink tints, delicate mint colors should repeat the tone of the dress and are ideally complemented by shoes of the same color.

Wanting to add zest to their image, brides often choose accessories with all kinds of decorations. For example, plain gloves made of smooth fabric can be embroidered with the first letters of the newlyweds' names.

If the bride is wearing a necklace with rhinestones or stones, you can decorate with several stones or rhinestones and gloves. If a girl prefers pearls, just add a few pearls or beads of the same color to the accessories. When decorating gloves with beads, it would be appropriate to repeat the same ornament in the main outfit to complete the look.

In order not to overload your outfit with a lot of elements, create a sophisticated look by emphasizing your wrists with a ribbon of delicate silk or shiny satin.

It is necessary to take into account the weather conditions and the time of year when the celebration will take place. In order not to freeze on the street during a photo shoot, you can protect your hands with winter gloves made of thick satin, crepe or jacquard. For summer, thin cotton, natural silk or sheer chiffon are suitable. In winter, you can hide the handles in thin gloves in a muff made of natural or artificial fur. At some weddings, young ladies carry the train behind the bride. In this case, you should take care of the outfit for girls in advance. It's good if they are dressed in the same colors as the bride. Instead of a conclusion.

When choosing gloves, the bride should be guided, first of all, by her own comfort. Nothing and no one should prevent her from feeling the most desirable, the most beautiful and the happiest on this day.
