Every girl dreams of a perfect wedding, a beautiful wedding dress. The choice of wedding accessories turns into a ritual that only emphasizes the triumph of the moment.
Wedding gloves are one of the most common additions to a wedding dress, along with a veil.
The history of gloves is as old as the history of human development itself. Almost immediately, gloves began to be used to protect hands from the cold, during heavy and dirty work. But also their sophisticated counterparts served as a distinctive feature of the costume of the highest persons. So, even in ancient Egypt, the pharaohs wore gloves as a hallmark of their divinity. In ancient Rome, the beauties put them on, after having oiled the skin of their hands with aromatic oils and creams.
In the Middle Ages, gloves were an integral part of the men's wardrobe. This piece of clothing played an important role in etiquette and matters of honor. With the help of them, they emphasized their nobleness, nobility, defended honor, challenged to a duel.
Gloves were sewn from deerskin, brocade, taffeta by hand and decorated with precious metals and stones.
And, as usual, women did not stand aside and appropriated this part of the wardrobe. Gloveswomen's long dresses became an obligatory attribute in the dress of a noble lady until the beginning of the 20th century.
Unfortunately, the fashion for them is gradually disappearing. And only wedding gloves are considered an almost obligatory accessory in a bride's attire.
It must be remembered that the combination of a dress and gloves looks the most harmonious when they match even in the shade of the color of the fabric. Therefore, it is preferable to buy a wedding dress at the same time as gloves if you decide that they will complement your look.
Depending on the style of the dress, wedding gloves are also selected. The more open the top of the dress, the longer the gloves. So for a bustier model, gloves almost to the shoulders will be an excellent addition. And for dresses with long sleeves, choose those that only slightly cover the hands.
In summer, thin gloves made of lace, chiffon, tulle look harmonious, but in winter, warmer analogues are needed. Take a closer look at the finest leather, brocade, lycra options.
Besides, models made of dense shaping fabric will help to veil some fullness of the hands.
Wedding gloves also differ in cut. The most classic are gloves that completely cover the hand and fingers. It must be borne in mind that during the ceremony you will wear jewelry, in particular, a ring directly on them. Do not lose it later during special occasions, because the fabric of the gloves is usually very smooth and slippery. And besides, then you will wear the ring on your bare hand.
But if you want to show off a beautiful manicure, perhaps with extended nails or a voluminous design, then you better choose open-fingered wedding gloves. Gloves with a triangle, which is fixed on the middle finger of the hand, look very gentle on the female handle.
But for mischievous brides, cropped options, the so-called mittens, are also suitable.
