Wedding is one of the most significant and memorable events not only for the newlyweds and their families, but also for guests invited to the ceremony and banquet. Preparation of the event begins long before all details are taken into account and everything went perfectly.
Guests, in turn, pick up gifts for a new family and decide what to wear to the celebration. Wedding is also an excellent reason to show off a beautiful outfit.
To look "on top", but not overshadow the bride and generally look harmonious on the holiday, it is important to consider some features of the selection of attire, hairstyle and accessories. I would like to analyze in more detail the current trends in women's wedding wear for the guests of the celebration.
Features of the choice of an evening dress for a wedding
The wedding ceremony and the subsequent celebration requires impeccable appearance from the guests. Weddings come in different types. It depends on the type of event which dress will be preferable.
For example, the last few years one of the most simple and spectacular ways to make the event even more solemn, is the device of a wedding in the European style. Such events are characterized by restraint and elegance, which is manifested in the ceremony, which is often done on-site, with all the appropriate entourage, in the design, and, of course, in the clothes of guests.
Often, such celebrations are done in a certain range, which is manifested in the choice of dresses for bridesmaids and ties or shirts for the friends of the groom. All other guests also try to adhere to the desired color. It is worth noting that often, dresses for girlfriends are sewn separately.
In addition to the "color" weddings, themed are popular, which are made in the required style. So, this may be the theme of a film, an era or some other fantasy. Weddings in the style of "style", "Victorian era", "pirated" or any other, require guests to carefully prepare and revise the festive wardrobe.
It is important to take into account that when you design a wedding in a particular style, all the guests are notified in advance, and if you want to sew costumes, measurements are made in advance. This is for weddings made in the same style.
If, however, there are no restrictions, when choosing a dress you can rely on your taste, while not forgetting some simple rules:
- evening dress, as a rule, has a length in the floor; it is important to select it precisely for your height and you should not choose models with a train or skirt that will constantly fall under heels, because this is not only ugly, since the entire hem will be soiled, but also unsafe; the length and style should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable, as the wedding banquet often requires movement, even if not for some games and dances, but also trite for moving around the hall;
- off-site registrations and celebrations in nature imply a lot of movement on non-asphalt terrain, so it is better to wear a dress of medium length for such a wedding;
- an important aspect is also, even in the absence of rules and restrictions, not to buy dresses of crazy styles and flashy colors, so as not to overload all the attention on yourself; the more elegant and refined the outfit, the better;
- in terms of color, you should avoid multicolored dresses and fabrics with bright patterns, the choice is better to stop on solid models, but it can also be dresses that combine 2-3 colors or shades;
- choosing a color, attention should be paid to pastel colors or deep, saturated color; too bright clothes, especially acidic, will be out of place; You should also not choose a black dress, which, despite its versatility, is not suitable for such a bright holiday, and you can not wear a white dress, because at a wedding it is permissible only for the bride and can cause confusion in the ranks of guests;
- the same can be said about sparkles and sequins, which in large quantities will only indicate a lack of taste; glitter may be present in details, in fabrics, in embroidery, but it should not be too much;
- Also, do not put too much emphasis on your merits: the length of the ultramini and decollete to the navel depth will not create the best solemn image.
Various styles of evening dresses for a wedding
Evening and cocktail dresses are a classic version of a beautiful appearance. Among the variety of styles and forms you can always find exactly what fits the case and figure. I would like to consider several options:
- Dress in the Greek style.
This style has a lot of fans, as this dress looks elegant both on slender girls and ladies in the body. Due to the special features of the cut, such an outfit fits perfectly and helps to hide figure flaws.
Dress in the Greek style - this is a free dress to the floor, intercepted by a belt at the waist. There are also options with high waist. A feature of these dresses is the lack of darts and complex cut, which decides the belt and drape along the entire length.
The bodice is often free or decollized with an asymmetrical odor. Variants of style of such a dress can be very much. Colors are chosen either pastel or saturated; in the decoration using metallic straps, stones and embroidery.
- Empire style dress always looks feminine and elegant.
Classic flashlight sleeves can be replaced with lace, a long free sleeve or another style to taste.
The hem and fabric of the dress can be either monophonic or with a pattern, lace, embroidery or stones. An empire dress is an excellent solution for women with flaws in the waist, full hips, and a triangle shape (but in this case, the neckline of the boat and the flashlight sleeves will not work). Also, this style is very like being pregnant, as it helps to hide the tummy.
- Another great option, especially for those who want to hide figure flaws, are fluffy dresses below the knee in the style of the 50s and 60s.
Such dresses can have a neat, tight-fitting bodice with short sleeves or open shoulders, they are always very lush, often with layers of mesh. Such dresses are particularly appropriate for the celebration in the style of "style" or retro. The waist of this style is emphasized, which makes it accent and creates a beautiful silhouette, and under the full skirt you can hide both full and thin hips.
- An interesting solution, especially for a themed wedding, will be a dress in the style of the 30s.
Characteristic for this style is a straight or flared to the bottom of the cut with no pronounced waist or lowered version. Fabrics are used flowing, there can be a lot of lace, embroidery and stones, but it is important to respect the measure.
The bodice often has a cut "swing" or a shallow neckline, straps, or a loose sleeve. The length is below the knees or on the floor, often accompanied by such a dress along with a shawl or coat.
Beautiful evening dress for the bridesmaid
For bridesmaids or bridesmaids when choosing a dress it is important to pay attention to the following points:
- avoid too much contrast with the image of the bride: ideally, bridesmaid dresses and bridesmaids should be made in the same style and have something in common, for example, girls can decorate themselves with ribbons to match the colors or color compositions;
- the dress should fit the figure, and the color under the color type;
- length and cutouts should not look vulgar;
- dress should be comfortable to move in case of an unexpected situation.
According to the style, the dress for a girlfriend can be very different, in contrast to the style of the wedding and the build of the girl. Dress in the Greek style will be a versatile choice that fits all.
Evening wedding dresses for mother of the bride and groom
Moms, of course, are different, and the selection of dresses is limited mainly by the build and the presence of age-related changes. For ladies of middle age, deep colors and flowing styles are perfect. Decollete, open hands and excessive fitting should be avoided.
Mothers of the bride and groom are best to be the standard of elegance and taste at this event. It is interesting to look at the ladies at the age of straight draped dresses in the floor with a slight emphasis on the waist, empire style and Greek with long sleeves or a free top.
Evening wedding dresses for obese women and pregnant women
To pick a dress slim young girl is quite simple. However, owners of more magnificent forms are sure that the selection of a dress for their figure is akin to science fiction. In fact, a competent approach will help choose a model that will decorate her hostess and make her visually slimmer.
Many people believe that black is a panacea for any excess weight, so they wear voluminous black things for any reason, becoming from it only visually more. Here the error is not in color, but in the choice of style.
Therefore, the dress for the trip to the wedding causes even more difficulties, because of the undesirability of black and the choice of more fancy styles.
Girls and women with appetizing forms should avoid too close styles, open hands and thin fabrics such as viscose and synthetics. Choose better denser and richer materials that not only look gorgeous, but also "collect" the image, forming a silhouette.
Also thick fabrics, such as jacquard and brocade, can be combined with light and flying chiffon, crepe and shiny satin. There are a lot of options, and each can find something suitable. The style itself can be both straight and fitted.
Depending on the figure, the bodice can be fitted with or with a cape, drapery and various elements. A very good way to highlight the waist, without making it harsh, smell. Girls with an hourglass figure can afford a dress that fits the body, but it is important that the fabric is not thin.
High-waisted styles are suitable for pregnant girls, such as Empire and Greek, or straight dresses without a strict line that will fall down and drape beautifully. Straight dress can be knee-length or slightly lower.
Creating a complete image: designer tips
Choosing a dress, you can proceed to the selection of accessories and hairstyles. How to create a complete image? Necessary details should be not only beautiful, but also convenient. Putting on shoes on a heel of 15 centimeters, it is worth remembering how much time they need to spend and choose a more convenient option that will be in harmony with the dress in style.
A handbag, unlike a dress, can have a pattern. It’s better to stop your choice on a clutch bag in which everything you need will fit. Also, the handbag should fit well in the hand and be combined with the overall look.
There should be few jewels: earrings, pendant or string of beads, a pair of rings will be quite enough, because you don’t have to wear everything that is. Hair can be as loose, curled curls, and put in a high hairstyle.
It is important to avoid excesses, then the image will be truly perfect and harmonious, and will be remembered by many, despite the lack of screaming details.
And a few more evening dress ideas are in the next video.
