«New is well forgotten old» - This proverb also applies to such an element of the wedding attire as gloves. This accessory was relevant in the early 18th century, when the fair sex wore it daily. Later, they were put on by high-ranking ladies at secular receptions, using only in the evening toilet. And in the 21st century, wedding gloves returned to fashion and are popular. They give the image of the bride elegance and sophistication..
Types of Wedding Gloves
This attribute of the bride’s outfit differs in several ways: by design, pattern, length, fabric used to make them, number of buttons.
Consider the models that are in demand:
- Classic. Long, above the elbow, stitched, usually from satin.
- Mitts. Short dress elements not reaching the middle of the forearm, for the manufacture of which lace or lace fabrics are used. Especially relevant in the summer.
- With a loop through which the accessory is held on the finger.
Fingerless
Fingerless wedding gloves can be conditionally divided into two types:
- Mitts are a short, tear-off accessory that does not create discomfort, makes it possible to freely put on a wedding ring without removing gloves during the ceremony. The disadvantage of this style is that they visually make the fingers shorter.
- On one finger - they are attached and held by a loop on the middle finger, for the manufacture of which they usually take a satin ribbon or strung beads. This model will not hide your beautiful manicure..
Short
Short wedding gloves add sophistication to the bride’s look. Go well with cropped dresses with sleeve lengths to the elbow and slightly lower. Such models with dresses on a long sleeve or without sleeves will not look harmonious.
Long
A festive dress with thin straps or opening shoulders goes well with long wedding gloves. They are made, as a rule, from satin or lace. This model is able to hide hand imperfections..
It is appropriate to wear a wedding ceremony, a walk, a photo shoot, but during the feast the bride must take them off.
Lacy
Wedding gloves made of lace will make the image of the bride elegant and delicate. Such a style will fit any dress model, and it does not matter which fabric is taken as the basis for the manufacture of the product. Accessories decorated with small rhinestones or pebbles with multi-colored reflections look beautiful
Fishnet
Openwork wedding gloves will harmoniously complement the image of the bride, in case the dress has a long sleeve. The presented type is not only aesthetic, but also practical - they will be able to warm the hand of a beautiful lady in cool weather.
Colored
In the modern world, not all girls are of the opinion that the wedding dress, and all its attendant attributes should be white. Many brides, trying to stand out, making their image original, select colored accessories.
With decorations
Often, there are wedding gloves decorated with various ornaments. Stones (precious and semiprecious), pearls (both natural and artificial), beads, beads, rhinestones, satin ribbons are used as jewelry. It is possible to use embroidery elements.
Glove fabric
For the manufacture of «clothes» A variety of fabrics are used for the bride’s hands, depending on the model and the time of year for which they are designed. So, for models of dresses of the autumn-winter period, jacquard, satin, crepe, taffeta, lace are used. For the summer, lightweight airy fabrics are ideal - chintz, chiffon, silk, cotton.
