How to find the perfect outfit for a wedding is a question faced not only by the bride and groom, but also by everyone who has received a wedding invitation. For the bride, the wedding dress is the most beautiful and also the most symbolic piece of clothing in her life, so pay special attention to the choice. For guests, on the other hand, the choice of clothing involves showing respect to the couple – respecting their requirements for the special day and at the same time maintaining their authenticity. Let's take a look at practical recommendations for choosing the perfect wedding dress!

Līgavām

A wedding dress is a way of expressing the feminine essence. Brides are different, and the wedding dress will also carry a different message for each of them - some bride will live out her princess dream in a plump and playful dress, another will choose to express the essence of femininity in an elegant and well-fitting flowing silk dress, for another the dress will symbolize feminine power and the knowledge given by the women of the family. The wedding dress reflects the uniqueness of the bride.

Along with the message of a wedding dress and the expression of a woman's essence, there are practical aspects that will allow you to choose the perfect dress. If your choice is a white wedding dress, it is important to find a complimentary shade of white that suits you - milk white, ivory, snow white or warm white. On the other hand, when choosing the cut of the dress, the most attention should be paid to the area from the neckline to the waist. V-shaped neckline is most suitable for brides, which lengthens and slims the silhouette, but visually lengthens the legs if the narrowest part of the waist is emphasized.

Who suits?

A silhouette dress

Dress with fitted top; it becomes wider from the waist to the hem of the dress. Suitable for any height type. Brides who do not want to highlight their hips on their wedding day will like it - the A-line shape slips over the hips, making the waist visually smaller and drawing attention to the bust. On the other hand, such a dress visually lengthens brides with a fine height.

Ball dress

Visually, it will suit every bride who wants to experience the dream of a princess. And when else, if not at a wedding? A form-fitting top is combined with an expressively full skirt. This is a flattering cut for brides with a large bust or broad shoulders. Ladies of petite height should be a little more careful - the dramatic part of the skirt can obscure the personality.

Lowered waist

A form-fitting corset that ends well below the natural waistline and accentuates the waist and hips, and accentuates the fullness of the skirt of the dress. Compliments a woman's figure, but is not recommended if you don't want to draw attention to your stomach.

Straight silhouette dress

Straight cut from the neck of the dress to the hem. Will suit every slim bride, emphasizing the natural shape of the body. This cut is not recommended if you don't want to highlight your hips.

Mermaid cut dress

Tight-fitting dress, the flare of which begins only in the knee area or even below it. Since the body contours are especially emphasized, it is worth choosing lace as the main material of the outfit, which will distract attention from all the highlights.

Two-piece dress

A top and skirt set or a dress with a removable overskirt – a practical choice that allows you to use the outfit after the wedding and to combine it with other clothes, including the corset part can also be worn with pants afterwards.

For grooms

Unlike a wedding dress for the bride, which is a unique outfit - to be worn only on the wedding day - buying a suit for the groom is a long-term investment. It is recommended to buy one that will last for years, not just for weddings. In addition, a suit is a set of clothes that can be varied with the selected accessories and the color of the shirt. The offer of modern suits has become very enjoyable and exciting, which also allows the groom to show his authenticity - from dark blue and black classic and slim fit suits to linen suits in pastel shades for summer weddings.

Essential! If the bride has chosen a white wedding dress, ask her for a piece of fabric (you can get it in the salon where the dress was purchased) to match the tone of the suit to the dress.

Who suits?

Slim fit – slim fit suits will suit slim men.

Expressly thin and tall men should avoid the slim fit cut, as it will make them look even thinner.

If you are overweight, a dark-colored suit is recommended, because light shades draw attention to the volume of the body and make the height optically more massive. Also, it is recommended to wear clothes that are the same color or shades of the same color. Suits with a looser cut will also fit - regular fit and comfort fit .

If you need to hide your stomach, you can do it with a tuxedo belt and it will also compliment double breasted button down suits .

If you have narrow shoulders and want to visually widen them, suits with wide collars will do. It is best to combine suits and shirts of different colors or shades.

For wedding guests

If you are invited to a wedding, choosing the right outfit for this important day should be approached very responsibly. The first aspect to be guided by when choosing an outfit for the wedding celebration is to look at the instructions on the wedding invitation. If it mentions a dress code, it must be followed without exception. If there is no dress code, the design of the wedding invitation reveals the colors of the wedding, which is a good help in choosing an outfit. Also, the location of the wedding ceremony and celebration is of great importance - whether it is a luxurious manor, a restaurant, a church or a boho-style wedding on the beach. Condition number one, unless the wedding invitation says otherwise: don't wear white. This color is reserved for the bride. You should also avoid bright, bright colors, for example, expressive red - it attracts attention and will also distract attention from the main characters of the wedding - the new couple in the wedding photos. Be unique, authentic, but at the same time follow these basic terms of wedding etiquette.
