The main features of a classic wedding dress
To determine which dresses are classified as classic, you should know the main signs of wedding dresses in style «classic». You will have to rely on such parameters as color, style, length. Having chosen this type of dress correctly, the bride will look no worse than real princesses. Queen Victoria, Princess Diana, Grace Kelly, Kate Middleton at their weddings preferred the classics and looked simply excellent. So, the girl will be able to fully realize her childhood dreams of a wedding, a fairy prince and a fabulous outfit.
Colour
The color of a classic wedding dress is white, ideally snow-white. From time immemorial, it has meant the purity and innocence of the future wife, he acted as a symbol of the wedding. And therefore, the classics are always exclusively white. But for brides, due to their physical characteristics (for example, skin color, hair), the white color may not be face to face.
Therefore, at traditional weddings, a dress is allowed not in pure white, but in its shades: beige, champagne, ivory, creme brulee, gray-white, pink-white and other pastel colors. All of them are considered acceptable for the traditional image of the bride..
Style
The style of a classic wedding dress may be different, but there are some nuances here:
- The presence of a corset or wedge-shaped neckline that open the shoulders.
- A clearly defined transition from a corset to a skirt.
- The skirt can be fluffy with a petticoat on the rings, fluffy flowing freely (A-silhouette), fitting the bride’s camp - a la art deco fashion (the skirt usually expands slightly by the end).
- Moderation in jewelry.
- Is the presence of long or? sleeves (especially in aristocratic, puritan circles).
- Often, the presence of a loop.
The classic dress restrained in jewelry looks great because of its fabulous style, the impression of which is especially enhanced by an elegant hairstyle and a veil suitable for the ensemble.
Of particular interest is the cut of a wedding dress for weddings in the church. It should be as simple and closed as possible, floor length. Full skirts, open neckline and corsets are not welcome. A long, flowing skirt fits. To make the product look elegant and light, the top and sleeves are made of lace fabric. To give the product exclusivity, it is sewn from velvet, satin or made a special cut, but which does not violate the basic characteristics of a wedding dress.
Length
The length of classic wedding dresses is strictly stipulated - this is a skirt on the floor, often turning into a train. A train also acts as a characteristic feature of this outfit style if it does not accompany a short skirt. The classics also include: products of simple cut just below the knees, which came into practice during the period of female emancipation. This length (midi) is already a deviation from the standard style, but is considered acceptable. Short skirts, style dresses «ballerina» belong to unconventional dresses for the bride, although they may otherwise look like classic wedding dresses.
What fabrics use
For the manufacture of traditional wedding dresses, any common fabrics are suitable: tulle, organza - although they do not differ in density, placed in layers one on top of the other, add airiness and do not compromise. The main requirement is not to place them in one layer, so that the dress is not completely transparent.
If the celebration falls on the cold season, the most popular materials for wedding dresses are velvet and brocade. It is warm in them, they are dense, hold their shape perfectly, create a feeling of wealth and well-being. This is one of the most traditional aristocratic preferences, a truly royal choice..
Chiffon and satin are also popular fabrics among brides who prefer classics. The outfits created from these materials have the best characteristics of the previous ones: they are light, but very dense, fit well and create an elegant look.
When choosing fabric for the wedding, the bride should first come from the time of year (warm or cold), in which the celebration will take place. Or choose the fabric you like and develop a style with the designer that uses the best characteristics of the material. It will be logical to act the other way around, and proceed from the desired style, picking under it a fabric that will carry out the plan better than others.
