The subtleties of choosing a best friend's wedding dress
A wedding is a happy holiday for the newlyweds. On it, only the bride has every right to be dazzlingly beautiful and with her beautiful outfit they will stand out clearly against the background of other guests. So, her friend’s dress should not be more attractive than that of the hero of the occasion. Listen to this rule, and then you will not become the cause of the bride’s bad mood on her holiday.
Recently, more and more often at weddings they follow the fashionable tradition that came to us from the West. He assumes the presence of three or more newlywed girlfriends at the celebration who are dressed almost or completely the same. Moreover, the choice of color and style of their clothes depends on the desire of the main character of the celebration. But from the Soviet era, another tradition has been preserved: it suggests that there should be a witness from the bride on the wedding.
If at the celebration they adhere to such a ritual, then the bride's official girlfriend has one and she has many duties at the celebration. In this case, when choosing a girlfriend’s outfit, it is advisable to find out how the bride and groom see him. And be sure to consider her opinion when choosing clothes for the celebration. A great option would be a joint shopping trip with the bride in search of a suitable model.
Which color to choose?
If you yourself have to decide on the color scheme of clothes for a wedding, then give preference to gentle calm tones. Perfect for a festive outfit, gold, lilac, yellow, peach, pink, pale blue, pale green, cream shade. If the bride prefers brighter colors, then choose a blue, turquoise, silver, red dress.
Choosing a white dress for a bridesmaid will be completely inappropriate. Because of him, absurd misunderstandings may arise at a celebration connected with the fact that a girlfriend will be confused with a newlywed. The right to wear a white dress at the wedding belongs to the bride, even if she is wearing colored clothes. It is also undesirable to put on a girlfriend in ivory clothes and «champagne», because she will be associated with a wedding dress.
To wear a completely black model for parties is a great option, but for a wedding it is absolutely not suitable. However, if the bride herself asks you to come to her holiday in an outfit with elements of black material, then feel free to follow her wishes. The girlfriend’s black dress can advantageously emphasize the snow-white outfit of the main character of the holiday. The combinations of black and white fabric in the attire of the witness and girlfriend are quite appropriate and correspond to fashion.
If the newlywed has several friends, then they are divided into «senior» and «junior». They are dressed in clothes of the same color or with similar shades. For «senior» girlfriends often choose long dresses «to the floor», and for «junior» The outfit has another shorter style. If the wedding celebration is thematic or a particular color will be preferred on it, then when choosing clothes it is worth considering these points.
The choice of fabric and style of dress?
A dress made of smooth flowing material will be a great option for a bridesmaid. Such an outfit will not distract the attention of guests from the heroine of the celebration, but it will look beautiful and festive. To make it feminine and elegant, it is better to buy clothes from noble and light fabrics. Perfect for this are chiffon, silk, taffeta and other fabric of a similar structure .
Wedding etiquette suggests that the girlfriend's dress should be sleeveless, not too décolleté. The bride’s girlfriend’s outfit is selected so that it is modest and in a certain sense closed. For example, festive clothing is chosen either with bare shoulders or short lengths. An outfit with transparent accents is a good option for a special occasion. It will look closed but attractive.
Choose a fashionable style of the dress so that it harmonizes with your figure. A cocktail dress or model in retro style, an outfit in the Greek style or with an A-shaped silhouette will be appropriate for the bride's girlfriend. But the model with a fluffy skirt is absolutely not suitable, because it will compete with the clothes of the bride.
Choosing the style of festive clothes, you must first find out how and where the wedding will be held. If the celebration is scheduled for the daytime and will be in the form of a buffet, then the evening outfit is absolutely not suitable for this event. In this case, it is better to wear a cocktail dress to the knees. Also, this version of the outfit is suitable for a restaurant, a ceremony in the civil registry office. If the figure allows and there is a desire to stand out effectively against the background of other guests, then a short narrow dress with a small neckline, without sleeves, will be an excellent option for clothing for a friend.
Does length matter?
Slender girls will look great in models with skirts of any length. But even if you have a perfect figure, do not choose too short a dress for a wedding. The average length of clothing for a newlywed girlfriend is an optimal and convenient option. Such clothes are more practical than a skirt on the floor, because it will not attract unnecessary attention and cause inconvenience during dancing and active movements..
We select jewelry and accessories
The right accessories will help to make the image of the bridesmaid holistic and complete. Their choice depends on the image of the bride and groom. For example, accessories (bouquet, handbag, gloves, cape) of the bride and her friend can be the same or similar, but made in different colors. It will look original, because the image of the bride will be successfully complemented by a girlfriend.
