Summer is the wedding season, which allows you to bring to life all the most unusual ideas and desires of newlyweds. At this time of year, it is most difficult to decide on a festive outfit, because there are practically no restrictions on styles and shades. When choosing summer wedding dresses, you need to take into account a lot of nuances related to the weather, the figure of the bride, her temperament. In order not to get lost in the abundance of outfits, you should understand the criteria by which they are classified.
Choosing a silhouette based on your figure
When choosing the silhouette of the bride's wedding dress, you should consider her body type. Slender girls will look great in a retro model with a peplum decorated with a large flower or draped on the hips. Such silhouettes look better in light colors. They can be complemented with an elegant hat or clutch.
Looking at the latest photos from fashion shows of famous wedding designers, we can conclude that the summer wedding dress-transformer has remained relevant for many years. Thanks to this solution, the bride will look spectacular, royal at the ceremony, and during an active celebration, the short dress will not restrict movement. There are many models of this type of dress. Almost all of them are light, summer and comfortable. Some hide figure flaws, emphasizing attractive shapes, others, on the contrary, openly demonstrate advantages, distracting attention from problem areas.
Straight cut dresses perfectly frame the bride's ideal forms, making her look like a porcelain doll. It will advantageously emphasize all the curves of the figure and cover unnecessary folds. It is also comfortable to walk, sit and dance in it.
Dresses in the Greek style are suitable for brides with curvy shapes or those who are pregnant. This style will not restrict the bride's movements and will hide the volumes. The Empire style is the best solution for a photo shoot on the seashore.
Summer bustier dresses are suitable for all body types. They reveal arms and shoulders, but perfectly hide the flaws of the lower body. Such models make the image feminine and seductive.
Material and decor
The very first aspect of choosing a summer wedding dress is the material it is made of. Velvet, brocade or taffeta dresses should be avoided at this time of year. Satin, although considered a heavy fabric, holds its shape well and contrasts with a full skirt.
Heavy and dense fabrics can ruin the whole image and cause the bride a lot of suffering. In summer, every girl wants to feel light and fresh throughout the holiday. The following cope with this task best:
- crepe;
- tulle;
- satin;
- organza;
- chiffon;
- batiste;
- lace.
If the latter material is used as the main fabric, then a cover is usually made underneath it, hiding the open areas of the bride's body. This image always looks gentle and romantic. But you need to remember that if a summer wedding dress is trimmed with lace, then it is better to refuse other decorative elements.
Organza is an iridescent fabric that is perfect for sunny weather. Satin and batiste allow air to pass through, preventing the body from sweating. Chiffon and tulle are suitable for lush and multi-layered outfits.
Overloading the image with decorative elements is no longer fashionable today. Therefore, it is worth paying close attention to the choice of jewelry. You can complement the image with the help of:
- pendant;
- pendants on a chain;
- earrings;
- hairpins;
- gloves;
- bracelet.
If the bride decides to complement the image with gloves, then in summer it is better to prefer short models. Such an accessory will definitely not overload the image and will look very elegant.
Shoes and other accessories for the dress should be selected, avoiding similar shades. Shoes can be in contrast with the whole image or be made in classic light colors. Shoe decoration in the form of rhinestones can be worn with a fluffy or short skirt. Otherwise, this element will constantly cling to the fabric, risking damage to it.
Hairstyles and makeup at a summer wedding should be light. If you wear too much makeup, there is a high chance that it will spread across your face, and heavy styling and hairspray will prevent air from reaching your scalp and neck.
Current shades
The traditional white dress can have many shades: from snow-white to milky. But in the summer, many brides want to stand out and choose non-standard colors in their outfit. These include:
- ivory;
- champagne;
- pink;
- menthol;
- "coffee with milk";
- blue;
- lilac;
- peach;
- cream.
The traditional red color of the dress, which was relevant for Russian weddings in ancient times, is also coming back into fashion. But such a dress will highlight the flaws of the figure, so only girls with a perfect body can afford red.
Brunettes with dark skin will suit beige shades of dresses. And blondes can afford bolder color solutions (light green, lilac).
A summer dress should not be dark. Firstly, this type of outfit looks mournful. And secondly, dark colors attract sunlight. In such an outfit, the bride will be hot and uncomfortable in hot weather.
How to choose the right length
Today, many brides opt for a short wedding dress in the summer. This is a great solution for those with slender legs and a sophisticated silhouette. A mini dress is indispensable for a beach wedding and can be worn again in everyday life. But no one has canceled the classic long and fluffy skirt. Most of the fair sex manage to try on this fairytale image only on their wedding day. Therefore, this length remains the most popular at any time of the year.
You can distract attention from the short length of your legs with a decorative bodice decorated with embroidery, lace, rhinestones, flowers or a bow. If the bride is not a supporter of traditional options, then you should pay attention to cocktail dresses with a skirt to the knees or slightly below. The midi length will add romance and elegance to the image.
Retro style is in fashion today. To play it up in a wedding outfit, you can choose dresses with an open top and a bell-shaped skirt just below the knees.
When the bride cannot decide on the length of the dress, an asymmetrical skirt comes to the rescue. Its length in the front is significantly shorter than in the back. It allows you to maintain comfort in hot weather, demonstrates the slenderness of the legs and at the same time looks spectacular and extraordinary.
Typical mistakes when choosing
Knowing all the rules for choosing a wedding dress, brides still make mistakes that can cost them comfort and a good mood at the celebration. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to remind:
- Beauty should not be more important than comfort. A stunning dress with a long train, tight corset and other restrictions will be relevant only for the ceremonial ceremony and photo shoot. The rest of the time it can only bring discomfort. The dress should first be comfortable, and only then fabulously beautiful.
- Fashion is on the lead. Brides often prefer fashionable styles or dresses that look perfect on the mannequin. If after trying on the dress the girl feels dissatisfied with her appearance, then such an outfit should not be chosen.
- Orders from online stores. Many companies that send dresses do not do their job properly. Such goods may be delivered later than the deadline, have the wrong style or material. Therefore, you should only give preference to trusted companies or choose a dress in a store.
- Don't rush your choice. If the first dress you try on suits the bride, it doesn't mean the others won't look better. After choosing several options, you need to give yourself time to think about the final decision.
- Copying stars. It is better to choose a unique option that suits the bride's figure and style over a star dress.
- Price is not the main thing. If the dress is something to brag about, then the romance of the whole wedding fades into the background. The main thing is that the outfit fits, and the cost can be absolutely different.
- Dress one size too small. It often happens that a bride falls in love with a dress, but there is no suitable size. And she, afraid that she will not find such a dress again, buys it, vowing that she will lose weight. But situations are different, and it is not always possible to lose extra pounds. Then your favorite dress may simply not fit or emphasize all the flaws of your figure.
- The family liked it. The dress should first and foremost suit the bride, and friends and relatives can only give some advice on choosing or offer interesting solutions.
When choosing beautiful summer dresses for a wedding, you need to take into account many nuances. But the main thing is to follow your own desires and preferences in order to make the outfit individual and once again emphasize your uniqueness.
