What should bridesmaids do and what can be their looks?

A wedding is a beautiful and unforgettable event not only for the newlyweds themselves, but also for all participants in the celebration. In Russia, the foreign tradition of the participation of bridesmaids at a wedding has become popular not so long ago. Previously, this role was most often performed by a witness. At the request of the bride, there can be several bridesmaids.

Being a bridesmaid is not just pleasant, albeit troublesome, to spend this holiday next to the bride and groom. It is important to know your responsibilities, take the initiative in organizational matters and support the bride throughout the holiday. The participation of a bridesmaid or bridesmaids begins from the moment the wedding is organized: preparation of wedding invitations, assistance in choosing a wedding dress, organization of a girl's evening on the eve of the celebration and redemption.

On the wedding day, like the "first swallow", her bridesmaid should appear in the bride's house. It will be an exciting day for the newlywed. A friend should take on the role of a personal psychologist and adjust all the fuss only in a major way. It is imperative to help the bride to put on a wedding dress, because, as a rule, it is simply impossible for the bride to do this on her own. An important stage in the wedding is the ransom. The bridesmaid should take an active part in it or take on the role of the host, as well as organize the exit of the bride. Before registering a marriage, she must help her get out of the car and put her whole image in the bride's room in order.After the painting of the young people, the girlfriend accepts the bouquets presented to the bride so that the hero of the occasion does not have to worry about order in the general festive bustle.

Throughout the entire celebration, the bridesmaid should be her “right hand”, be always ready to help. In other words, she does everything so that the bride does not need anything and does not worry about anything. At the location of the celebration, bridesmaids should be located near the bride. In the festive program, their role is to take an active part in competitions. At the end of the holiday, the girlfriends should organize the transportation of the gifts of the young people to the house. If necessary, help to change into casual clothes and take care of the safety of the wedding dresses of the young people.

There are good manners when choosing a bridesmaid outfit that are important to follow.

• Clothing should not be white as white is considered the bride's color. Still, the bride is the central figure of the celebration. If you decide to choose shades of white, you need to warn the bride about this.
• Care must be taken when choosing dark or black shades. In this case, you should pick up bright and even outrageous jewelry and accessories.
• A too open neckline and a long neckline that strongly exposes the body will be inappropriate for a wedding celebration. Restrained elegance is the main line that must be adhered to in the texture of the outfit.

Identical dresses for girlfriends will look very stylish. Now, very often, in the color of girlfriends' outfits, the choice stops at pastel shades. In tandem with the romantic attire of the bride, dresses of soft shades (lilac, light blue, pale pink, mint) will look unique and create an overall delicate image. Stylists in the new season are advised to consider such an option for bridesmaids' clothes as a trouser suit. In modern fashion trends, a trouser suit for women in its brevity, elegance is not inferior to any other dress. A trouser suit diluted with jewelry or a beautiful blouse will create a unique look.

Blue for bridesmaids will be a safe bet. By itself, the blue color is complex and has many derivatives, which will allow you to choose an individual image for each of the girls. The blue color will set off and frame the white wedding dress of the bride.

They add sophistication and elegance. A wonderful and unusual idea is to dress the bridesmaids in tulle skirts. Color, splendor, shape can be chosen for each of the beauties individually, depending on their own preferences, which will make you feel unique at the wedding celebration. The peach color of the girlfriend's dress will add more joy to the holiday atmosphere. This color is very soft, pleasant, according to its characteristics, suitable for both burning brunettes and dreamy blondes.

Modern trends in hair styling do not limit women in their choice of hairstyles. Strict elegance and neat styling or a riot of curls will look great at a wedding. It is important that the criteria of harmony and restraint in the overall image are met. There is a basic rule in choosing a hairstyle for an image: the shorter the length of the skirt or dress, the less lush the styling should be.

If the general character and image of the wedding is designed in a strict elegant style, then neat styling in the form of a shell, bun or heap is perfect. This hairstyle looks harmonious even with a short dress. Currently, beautiful curls have earned the greatest popularity.

With puffs and tucked-in ends, a ponytail hairstyle will look elegant and to the point. Lace braids are the perfect hairstyle for your wedding celebration. Lush sloppy buns with elongated strands-paths are perfect for long dresses. And you must definitely remember that styling should be comfortable and keep its shape throughout the entire celebration. Form a general image in advance so that on the day of the celebration you will only have to enjoy the process of the holiday.

Accessories complement the look, bring individuality and unique character to it. These little details will be able to distinguish the bridesmaids from all the guests. Original and unusual accessories for girlfriends can be made by hand. The process of creating these holiday attributes shouldn't take long. It is important to make bandages in the same style, taking into account the color scheme of the outfit.

To create a wreath with flowers you will need:

• type tape;
• insulating tape;
• green satin ribbon;
• wire;
• flowers (roses and wildflowers are perfect for living);
• another satin ribbon;
• pliers.

In handicraft stores, you can buy ready-made flowers, pistils, ribbon bows and use a glue gun to glue, for example, a beautiful composition onto a satin ribbon. For reliability, baste the finished decoration to the main ribbon with neat stitches. You can independently create a decor in the form of delicate double bows from satin ribbons. All you need is a satin ribbon, lace on the backing and rhinestones to decorate the center of the bow.

The algorithm for collecting such a dressing is simple:

• make seven tape cuts of 6 cm each and 8 cuts of 8 cm;
• bend each segment in half, with the front side of the tape outward, sweep the ends of the tape and pull together;
• for the base, we take lace, we sweep the inner side and tighten it so that we get a circle that will serve as the base;
• a lace base, eight larger petals and seven short petals are glued to the working tape, which will later be tied to the hand, using a glue gun;
• the center of the composition is decorated with a bead or rhinestones.

Wreaths on the heads of the bridesmaids will add a touch of romanticism and tenderness to the overall look. The tradition of wearing wreaths in the wedding ceremony goes back deeply to antiquity. Wreaths on the heads of girls at the wedding ceremony will undoubtedly amaze everyone with their touchingness.

Wreaths can be made from artificial or natural flowers. It is important to remember that wreaths with natural flowers should be formed no earlier than a day before the ceremony and stored in the refrigerator. Otherwise, they will simply lose their appearance. Wreaths using artificial flowers are created in advance, and after the celebration they will serve as a reminder of the past celebration of love.

The process of creating a wreath is very simple.

• The circumference of the head is measured and a ring is formed.
• It is pasted over with duct tape and wrapped in a green satin ribbon.
• With the help of a type-tape, flowers are screwed to the resulting ring along the entire length of the wreath or only along one edge, forming a flower tiara.

The general wedding image of bridesmaids, of course, should be in harmony not only with the concept of the celebration, but also be in season. For example, light chiffon skirts will look completely ridiculous in frosty weather.

In summer, fabrics such as flowing silk, light chiffon or tulle are perfect for girlfriends dresses. Beautiful layered skirts will complement a light summer look. Wreaths on the heads of girls will look great.

Rainbow multi-colored dresses will complement the joyful, cheerful atmosphere of the celebration.The ombre effect will look great in the images of girlfriends. The fabric, texture can be different or the same, the main thing is that the dresses are matched in the same color of different shades.

Transforming dresses are an irreplaceable solution when forming images of bridesmaids. Each of the girls will be able to prove herself, be unique, but at the same time adhere to the general idea. Due to its characteristics, the knitted fabric, from which such dresses are usually sewn, will be comfortable to wear in any weather.

For an autumn wedding, you can create an image of your girlfriends in an autumn style. Shades of orange, yellow, red and brown will perfectly harmonize in the colors of the dresses. It is necessary to focus on muted and saturated colors. The autumn version requires the introduction of warmth, tranquility and romanticism. Beautiful warm stoles, rubber boots, umbrellas can serve as an excellent decorating technique for a photo shoot in nature.

Winter is a fabulous time for a wedding, as nature itself dictates the direction in the choice of images. For example, matching warm ugg boots, fur capes, hats or mittens on bridesmaids will perfectly complement the look and bring a spirit of warmth on a frosty day.

If you don't want to puzzle yourself or your girlfriends with the choice of color and sewing a dress, the same bandages will come to the rescue, which will distinguish the girls from the general mass of guests. Identical necklaces, beads or small bouquets can serve as an alternative to bandages.
