In wedding salons, you can usually see lush dresses for brides with a deep neckline, open shoulders, and rich decor. But not every girl chooses exactly this kind of dress for a wedding celebration. Some brides prefer modest wedding dresses, which are not boring or uninteresting at all. On the contrary, such a dress will arouse interest and intrigue those around you.
What are they?
What does "modest dress" mean? There is no single answer, as for someone a modest outfit may seem luxurious if it is very expensive. An inexpensive dress can also be considered modest. Inexpensive wedding clothes are purchased if a honeymoon is planned that requires large financial expenses, or if the young couple has an unstable financial situation. Sometimes modest outfits are preferred by newlyweds who are about to become parents or are remarrying. There are many reasons, but a modest wedding dress does not necessarily mean cheap. There are outfits for which newlyweds pay a fabulous sum, but they look more than modest. Everything depends on the model, sleeve length, design of the bottom of the garment, neckline, material, decorations.
Model options
Modest outfits for newlyweds are distinguished by a variety of styles, from which a girl can choose the one that suits her figure and desired image:
- Empire. The products look romantic, are made of light airy materials. They are cut under the chest, and widen towards the bottom. They are perfect for brides with curvy shapes or girls expecting a baby. Although slender girls can wear this model and look great.
- Greek style. The style is similar to the previous one, but differs in that the skirt falls in beautiful folds, and there are no sleeves at all. This dress will make the bride look like an ancient goddess.
- Rustic. For a stylish, although simple in appearance, style, natural materials (linen) are used. For example, the dress is decorated with small embroidery.
- Chinese style. The original model does not mean that the dress completely copies the national clothes. It is enough to take a few details - a stand-up collar, wing sleeves. Silk or satin are used as fabric, the length is different.
- New look. Retro style models are becoming incredibly popular. A young woman looks beautiful in a product with a tight bodice, lantern sleeves, and a sun-shaped skirt. To make the skirt look more voluminous, it would be a good idea to wear a petticoat of several layers underneath.
- Sheath dress. Perfect for a formal event. A satin dress will add elegance and chic to a girl. The length can be up to the knees or below.
The features of the models are the details of the dress cut.
Neckline
For modest models, the following necklines are most relevant:
- boat;
- square;
- small, V-shaped;
- round;
- high to the neck.
The universal high neckline is especially relevant. A wedding dress with a closed top is an ideal option for a gentle, sophisticated girl. It successfully covers the fragility of the shoulders, neck and arms.
Sleeve length
Not only closed shoulders, but also sleeves of different lengths give elegance and sophistication to a modest product. If a model with an open top is not suitable for some reason, then the best option would be a dress with a ¾ sleeve, long or short. As for sleeve styles, there are a large number of them:
- with a romantic style puff;
- tulip;
- straight, hugging the arm;
- flared short;
- flashlight;
- wide, gathered at the bottom.
All sleeves are beautiful in their own way and will successfully disguise areas that you don’t want to show off.
Sleeves made of lace, guipure, tulle give the greatest airiness and splendor! Long sleeves help to disguise imperfections on the skin of the hands and tattoos. It should be noted that products with long sleeves will not suit all girls - thin and short ones are an exception.
Back design
As a rule, modest wedding dresses have a fully covered back, which looks especially good with a high neckline. A shallow neckline or thick lace is acceptable. Models with a closed back look elegant and modest, and luxurious lace fabric will add seductiveness and femininity.
Bottom of the dress
There is a misconception that fluffy dresses suit everyone, but this is absolutely wrong. Girls with different figures suit different dress bottoms:
- A lush, luxurious skirt is ideal for tall, slender girls, emphasizing their thin waist and grace.
- A voluminous skirt will successfully cover wide, full hips.
- Brides with broad shoulders and small hips can also wear dresses with a full bottom to correct their figure. Such a dress will hide the excess on the hips and visually make the shoulders narrower.
- Petite girls should be very careful when choosing a full skirt, so as not to look ridiculous in such an outfit. But a petite bride should pay attention to the A-line model, where the skirt gradually and smoothly widens towards the bottom. This style will also visually make the bride taller.
Short wedding dresses have become very popular, and they have a number of advantages over traditional items for brides. Young girls reveal beautiful slender legs, not wanting to hide them under a long hem. In addition, mini dresses, complemented by a train, will add originality and boldness to the bride's outfit.
Color selection
In addition to traditional white, modern fashion models have a wide variety of colors. Girls who choose colored wedding dresses emphasize their individuality and create their own exquisite style. The color of the dress can become the main thread in the gala event. This solution will be appropriate for various styles: eco-style, Provence, classic, art deco. Thanks to the color, a certain image of the girl is created: bright juicy colors are suitable for determined bold girls, for romantic natures - gentle pastel shades, for elegant - noble tones.
Among the colors of modest dresses for a wedding celebration, the following are relevant: "powder", "cappuccino", "monsoon", golden-chocolate, pearl shades, turquoise, pink, blue tones. It is possible to use one shade for the entire product, decorate with elements of other colors, the presence of halftones of one color in the outfit.
Fabric and decor
Each fabric for a wedding dress has its own advantages and disadvantages. Most often, brides like dresses made of the following fabrics:
- Silk. The most expensive material that looks elegant and chic. It should be taken into account that the material wrinkles.
- Organza. Thin transparent fabric holds its shape perfectly.
- Taffeta. A fabric made of silk or cotton with a stiff, shiny thread woven into it.
- Atlas. A material with a shiny, smooth surface.
- Chiffon. Airy transparent fabric used exclusively for decoration.
- Tulle. Delicate flowing material.
- Brocade. Luxurious dense fabric.
Buttons, various belts, handbags, beautiful hairpins are used as decoration for a modest wedding dress. It is very important not to overload the modest image of the bride with jewelry, otherwise the bride will look funny!
Modest outfits of celebrities
There is no need to worry if you cannot afford a fancy dress for the big day. Even celebrities, despite their financial situation, sometimes choose a modest wedding dress for the registration. For example, Audrey Hepburn preferred a simple trapeze dress to luxurious outfits. Actress Mia Farrow wore a white dress with a jacket for her wedding. Cindy Crawford's wedding dress, similar to a beach dress, was particularly simple. Keira Knightley's outfit was also not particularly luxurious. She chose a rather simple white dress with a wide skirt and a jacket.
Therefore, there is no need to be upset that a girl cannot afford an expensive outfit for the most important day in her life. It is enough to choose a dress of a style that suits her figure, a color that reflects her essence, beautiful discreet jewelry.
