Wedding gloves - types and photos

«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

It is appropriate to wear a wedding ceremony, a walk, a photo shoot, but during the feast the bride must take them off.

Lacy
