Every bride, choosing a wedding dress, wants to conquer the groom and the guests with a perfect, luxurious image. But perfection is not always hidden in a multitude of details, accessories or decor. Simple wedding dresses can look no less dignified and charming, you just need to know some rules for choosing them and the secrets of interesting combinations.
Popular types
When choosing a simple wedding dress, many brides think that the image will look too simple without sophistication and charm. In fact, such fears are groundless: the variety of models and styles of simple wedding dresses will surprise and please even the most fastidious girl.
Conventionally simple wedding dresses can be divided into the following categories:
Wedding dress in Greek style
A distinctive feature of such an outfit is the lightness of the fabrics, the smoothness of the lines. Greek dresses have a minimum of decor, and the beauty of the bride is emphasized by an unusual line of the neckline or bare shoulders. In addition, interesting cutouts on the back are often found in a dress of this style. The ideal fabrics for an outfit in the Greek style are considered to be: translucent chiffon, satin shimmering in the sun, flowing bengaline. Designers can easily add decorative elements to such fabrics in the form of drapery or folds on the hem of the dress. The relevant colors for Greek wedding dresses remain white, beige, cream, champagne. Less classic options are possible: peach, powder, light purple. The choice depends on the style of the wedding and the wishes of the young bride.
Empire The Empire style is considered a simplified version of the Greek style. Its distinctive feature is a wide waistline located just below the chest. This style is becoming more and more popular every year, as it perfectly emphasizes the femininity and tenderness of the bride. Silk, organza, flowing chiffon, and satin are most often used for Empire style dresses. Beads, pearls, ribbons, artificial flowers, sequins, and rhinestones are often used as decoration. In addition, dress models with a lace bodice and chiffon hem are gaining popularity among brides. Classic colors remain in trend: white, beige, cream, champagne. But for bold brides who like to experiment, designers offer dresses in peach, powder, apricot, light blue, or lilac shades.
Straight cut dresses
Straight cut wedding dresses are becoming increasingly popular due to their versatility. It is not difficult to choose a straight cut dress for a girl with any type of figure. In addition, brides are pleased with the variety of models: short, long and medium length, with slits at the back or on the sides, with various necklines, trains.
Another advantage of a straight cut dress is its versatility in the choice of fabric. Dresses of this cut are sewn from almost any type of fabric and are suitable for celebrations held at any time of the year. For a summer wedding, you can choose a dress made of satin, organza or chiffon; for a winter celebration, jacquard and velvet dresses are suitable; for a spring-autumn wedding, you can choose a velvet or lace dress, depending on the weather conditions.
Equally versatile are straight dresses in colors ranging from classic white to bold blue or red.
Fishtail dress model
This model of wedding dress completely fits the silhouette, emphasizing the beautiful curves of the female body. Models with long trains look very beautiful in a set with a lace veil. Decor and decorations are minimal, since the main emphasis is on the figure of the bride and it is extremely important not to overdo it with details.
A fishtail dress made of satin or jacquard looks very impressive. Satin is perfect for a wedding in the warm season, but you need to keep in mind that it wrinkles easily and is not dense enough to hide existing figure flaws. Jacquard is ideal for a wedding in the cool season, with its help you can easily hide existing figure flaws, it practically does not wrinkle when worn.
A fishtail dress can be decorated with lace or beads/pearls/sequins; usually the bodice is decorated, the skirt remains untouched. Pastel shades of fabric are popular if the dress is made of satin. Jacquard dresses delight with a variety of patterns and designs: the fabric can be matte, silky, with inserts of lurex thread or textured.
A-line dresses
A model of this style can be chosen for any type of figure. The A-line dress beautifully emphasizes the chest, collarbones, visually narrows the waist, hides flaws, reveals the advantages of the figure. It is also ideal for creating a gentle, romantic image of a princess bride.
A-line dresses come in a variety of designs: with straps, corsets, dropped shoulders or cap sleeves. They can be decorated with lace, beads, sequins, flowers, satin ribbons or belts. Dresses with beautiful trains look royal.
Classic white and cream colors remain in trend. Peach, apricot, soft blue, and lilac colors are gaining well-deserved popularity.
Who it suits and who it doesn't suit
Having sorted out the existing styles of wedding dresses, you need to decide which style is suitable for which type of figure. First of all, you need to decide on the length of the dress, and then proceed to choosing the style.
Below are some brief recommendations for the bride, based on which it will be easier to make the right choice:
- An A-line dress is ideal for girls with a pear or rectangle body type. It will successfully hide wide hips or full legs, and will emphasize the waistline and chest. In addition, it suits brides of any height: a short girl will visually become taller, while a tall girl will do the opposite;
- A straight-cut dress emphasizes the chest, waist and hips at the same time. It is ideal for girls with an hourglass figure type. Brides with a triangle or inverted triangle figure type can choose this style if the difference between the hips and chest/shoulders is no more than 5 centimeters;
- Dresses in the Greek style or Empire style are suitable for pregnant brides and girls with an "apple" figure type. Such dresses do not use petticoats, which gives the image lightness and airiness, visually reducing the belly and emphasizing the waist and chest;
- The fishtail dress has a form-fitting silhouette that flares out sharply from the knee downwards. It is ideal for slender girls of medium and tall height who want to emphasize their chest, waist, and all the curves of their body.
Accessories
Wedding dresses of simple cut require the choice of additional accessories so that the image does not seem too simple and dull.
In 2018, massive neck jewelry became very popular: thread-capes made of stones, beads or beads. In addition to beads and necklaces, you can use tassel earrings of a wide variety of colors: white, beige, yellow, red, black. Brides should also pay special attention to pearl jewelry, natural or artificial, which will undoubtedly add a special touch to the look.
Instead of the usual fur coats and boleros, designers offer brides beautiful light capes that are decorated with embroidery, lace, beads or feathers. Such capes can replace not only a cardigan or bolero, but also a veil.
In 2017, the fashion for wedding gloves died down a bit, but 2018 has brought this beautiful wardrobe item back to us. Short lace gloves or long satin ones – the choice is yours.
The question remains open: "Where to put the phone and feminine things that the bride does not want to part with during the celebration?" Here a clutch or a small bag that can hold everything necessary comes to the rescue. Small white bags for young brides, decorated with beads or flowers on the clasp, are increasingly appearing at fashion shows.
Shoes
When the bride's image is almost complete, the final element is shoes. How to choose between comfort, beauty and heel height? Everything depends on the schedule of the celebration. If a long walk in the fresh air or a long photo shoot is planned, the bride should prefer comfort and convenience. If the bride will spend most of the celebration in the car and restaurant, it is quite possible to choose a beautiful option with high heels.
When choosing a color, you need to base it on the overall color scheme of the bride's image. The most popular are white, beige, and cream. If the bride's image includes bright accents in the form of a belt or satin ribbon, shoes can be matched to the color, bright and unusual:
- For a winter wedding, brides most often choose white or cream-colored ankle boots or low shoes, with a stiletto heel or a wide, stable heel;
- For an autumn-spring wedding, shoes with closed or open toes are suitable, depending on the weather conditions;
- Summer allows you to choose from a variety of open-toe and heel shoes or sandals. In addition, there is a variety in the choice of heel height: there is no danger of ice or rain, and the bride can choose shoes with a thin stiletto heel without fear of unexpected consequences.
Wedding looks
In order to avoid the agony of choice and make preparations for the wedding celebration even more enjoyable and easy, we suggest you familiarize yourself with ready-made images for brides. Here new ideas echo the recognized classics:
- A straight cut dress and a fishtail style will look great with a new trend in the world of wedding fashion - a cape instead of a veil. A lace cape adds mystery and lightness to the image, without weighing it down, as can happen with a fur coat or cardigan. In addition, it is quite capable of replacing a tiara or a hoop;
- An A-line dress can be decorated with a beautiful, large bow made of satin ribbon. For lovers of classics - white, for bold experimenters - red, black, blue or coffee. If miniature, neat bows are present on shoes, the image will be even more tender, sweeter;
- Bridal looks in bright, rich colors are gaining popularity, rather than in classic pastel shades. A bridal look in red, bold and bright, is suitable for confident and sexually confident young ladies. The blue color looks very noble, elegant, and emphasizes the status of the newlywed;
- For a bride whose wedding will take place in the summer, a dress can be chosen in midi or mini length, made of light, flowing fabrics. A beautiful addition to the image will be everyone's favorite ballet flats or pumps, pearl earrings, a wreath of snow-white flowers in the hair;
- For a winter bride's look, instead of the usual boleros or short fur coats, choose a warm shawl or cape-mantle. Then the look will sparkle with new colors.
Thanks to such simple tricks, choosing a straight-cut dress for the bride will become much easier, and preparation for this special day will turn into a wonderful prelude to a miracle.
