Wedding dress: traditions of choice

A wedding is a significant event in a girl's life. And, if the bride chooses a wedding dress based on the latest innovations in wedding fashion, then a wedding dress requires certain rules and requirements. They must be followed.

In what you can go down the aisle with your loved one, what color should be the wedding dress, we will tell further. For now…

It so happened in Russia that the wedding of the young is a special church rite that connects two loving hearts. Prepared for it in advance. The girls chose the most beautiful outfit for themselves. Such was the magnificently embroidered sarafan and shirt. Most often, a sundress was chosen scarlet. The adjective "red" had two meanings: a direct relation to color and beautiful.

The church ceremony took place in an unattractive and sad outfit. History knows many facts when the wedding ceremony was held in a black dress and veil. At the end of the ceremony, the bride was waiting in a beautifully embroidered sundress. A symbol of a successful life.

In the XI-XIV centuries. the head of Russian brides was decorated with a wreath made from a piece of fabric (a strip 3-5 cm). A metal hoop was also used as a wreath. The bride's hair was loose or braided into two braids. Later, the kokoshnik became part of the wedding costume, and various ribbons were woven into the braids.It was not customary for a married woman to braid braids.

In the next 15th century, the brides were more fortunate. Brocade dresses were sewn for the wedding, skillful craftswomen decorated them with pearls. True, it was hard to wear such an outfit. The weight of festive clothes sometimes reached 10-15 kilograms.

For the wedding, the future wife had to prepare several outfits. Brides, weddings and the feast itself were a significant reason to demonstrate yourself as a skilled needlewoman. After all, all the outfits were sewn by hand. Sometimes it took several years to make such a dress. The Russian girl's sundress was magnificent in its performance. The skills of the future wife were determined by finishing and embroidery.

The apron was worn on a sundress, thereby emphasizing the housekeeping of the girl. The wedding suit was sewn especially for the special celebration of the girls. And dressed for the first time for the wedding itself. In the 18th century, according to the decree of Peter the Great, the ladies of the court had to walk in dresses sewn according to the patterns of European fashion designers. The European style touched the wedding fashion as well. Catherine II changed the red color of her wedding dress to the color of water lily petals. She was the first to choose a white wedding dress. Thus a new tradition was born.

In the late 1920s, church weddings were cancelled. Registration of marriage was carried out in the registry office. The young people did not plan special outfits, everyday clothes were used.Only in the second half of the twentieth century began to create collections of wedding dresses. The beauties purchased ordinary models of dresses or sewed to order. The styles were the same, no frills. The trim consisted of lace and ruffles.

It was impossible to get a beautiful wedding dress, a trouser suit, a wedding dress and it was a great rarity and good luck for the celebration. Today, wedding fashion has made its changes. And I must admit, this is a big plus. The bride herself can choose a dress in any style: empire, boho, vintage, rustic. Fashion designers offer the most diverse length: mini, midi, to the floor.

The mini will have to be abandoned completely. Alas, this is what the church demands. But that's no reason not to get married. There is always a way out.

A wedding does not always take place on the wedding day. Some married couples decide to tie themselves in sacred bonds a few years after the wedding.

But, back to the color of the dress. If the wedding is planned on the wedding day and the girl is getting married for the first time, then you should adhere to established traditions. That is, choose a white dress.Finishing in soothing tones is acceptable.

A wedding will cement the marital relationship. A sacred ceremony after several years of marriage is always appropriate. Here, the wife can already buy a dress of other shades, but not bright ones. Pastel colors: cream, gold, powder, light pink will make you look wonderful and attractive on this festive day.

Every year, fashion designers and fashion designers create stunning bridal gowns where the trim and color can make the bride stand out.

Many questions and doubts arise with the choice of a red wedding dress. Red is the color of bright personalities who can always go forward. The bride in a red wedding dress will look very tempting. But, according to church customs, the wedding of the young always took place in clothes of calm colors. Not bright colors - a symbol of God's grace and chastity.

On the other hand, as the story goes, girls were originally married in a red sundress. Your best and most beautiful outfit. They were happy and loved. You can learn more about this in the chapter "A Bit of History". To buy or not to buy a red wedding dress, the bride must decide for herself. Before purchasing such a bright outfit, it will not be superfluous to consult with the priest. Visit the temple where you plan to get married. He will answer all your questions. If, nevertheless, the bride cannot move away from her habits of walking in bright clothes, then the stylists offer a different version of the outfit. A good alternative to a red dress can be a scarlet trim on a dress: in the form of a red piping, ruffles, flounces.

Finally, we want to remember one important point. Makeup. When the wedding ceremony coincides with the date of marriage at the registry office, a rare bride will refuse it. Makeup should be almost invisible. You can't use bright colors. Glitter is best not to use.

The bride's wedding dress is a special festive attire. It cannot be sold, it cannot be given away, but it must be carefully stored. Whatever dress the bride chooses, she will always shine in her outfit. Let the solemn day be remembered not only by stunning outfits, but also by good, exciting moments.
