Which fabric to choose

Let's start with which fabric you shouldn't choose for sure: velvet, brocade, taffeta and other heavy, dense fabrics.

Satin is also a fairly dense fabric, but for summer wedding dresses it is often used for bustier models, where this property of satin is in demand - it perfectly holds its shape and creates a spectacular contrast with a fluffy airy skirt.

Airiness and lightness are the main criteria for choosing fabric for a summer wedding dress.... In fact, you will have to spend almost the whole day in it, but who wants to sweat and feel constant discomfort! In a light dress, you will feel beautiful and fresh, as befits a bride.

Therefore, most often they choose:

  • chiffon;
  • organza;
  • tulle;
  • lace;
  • crepe.

From chiffon, organza and tulle, they sew unmatched multi-layer outfits, in which it will not be hot even in summer.

Lace is often used in sewing bridesmaid dresses both as the main material and as a decoration.It belongs to the category of breathable fabrics, however, a cover is usually made under a lace dress, otherwise the bride will look just vulgar.

Lace trim in combination with a translucent main fabric looks not only elegant, but also exquisite. She is able to make a dress for any type of figure romantically beautiful. However, it should be borne in mind that lace itself is self-sufficient, which means that it is better to abandon other decorative elements.

Dress length, sleeves and neckline

Of course, in the summer it will be more comfortable in a short dress, especially if you want to showcase your slender legs. But when will there be an opportunity to appear in a luxurious ballroom dress with a fluffy floor-length skirt and a deep neckline! Even if you regularly attend social events, you are unlikely to find such dresses - this is the classic fairy dress of Cinderella, who became a princess, and what girl did not want to be in her place!

If you are focusing on a lightweight version from the very beginning, then pay attention to cocktail dresses, knee-length or slightly longer. A dress of this length made of delicate flowing fabric or with a fluffy skirt will look unusually romantic.

Cardinal mini can only be afforded by those brides who are confident in the beauty of their legs. If there is no such confidence, then it is better to focus on the bodice, decorating it with embroidery, lace, a bow or a large artificial flower.

Sleeves are rarely seen on summer wedding dresses. Mostly they are short and laced or sheer fabric. The cut is usually deep enough to reveal the upper chest.

However, it is worth considering the following moment: today, after the official registration of marriage at the registry office, many couples get married in church, but here a completely different "dress code" - the bride's dress should be modest, with closed shoulders and chest. This problem can be easily solved with the help of a large scarf or shawl, boleros, covering the "problem" areas and creating the image of a modest, chaste bride.

Color and style

The tradition of wearing a white dress for a wedding dates back to the wedding of British Queen Victoria. However, even this seemingly simple white color has many shades, from snow-white to milky or ivory.

But if white seems too trivial to you, you can choose any other:

  • ivory;
  • champagne or light delicate shades;
  • any other color (pink, blue, lilac, peach, caramel).

Some extravagant brides get married even in black dresses, but this color is hardly suitable for such a bright holiday. But red - traditional for Russian weddings in ancient times - is back in fashion.

Red wedding dress

Retro style is also in fashion, and you can choose any period: the 20s, 30s or 50s of the 20th century, when the great couturiers created their original models. For example, a dress with an open back or a retro dress with a bell skirt will look very impressive.

If you choose a dress with an open back, then make sure that the back is evenly tanned, without traces of the swimsuit, and the skin is in impeccable condition.

Backless Wedding Dress

Among the retro models, one cannot fail to mention peplum dresses, which look great on slender girls with a small bust. The peplum can be decorated with a large flower made of the same fabric, or simply draped effectively on the hips.

An excellent option for the summer would be a transforming dress.... Such a two-in-one toilet will surely arouse the keen interest of the female half of the guests.

At the solemn registration ceremony, you will have a fluffy long skirt, and then, as they say, with a slight movement of your hand, you will turn your wedding dress into a short dress, in which it is much more comfortable to dance, and in general it is more comfortable to be. The outfit can remain long, but not so magnificent.

The model options are varied. It can be lush, straight, with cascading and tiered skirts.

For a summer ceremony, the following styles will be ideal:

Mermaid - transforming dress.

Lace dress or with sheer accents. A voluminous skirt is possible.

For brides in position, the best option would be dresses in the Greek style, which fall in soft draped folds from the belt under the bust. They can be of any length - to the floor, to the middle of the knee, or above or below. In such a dress, the bride will not only look great, but also feel comfortable.

Decorations and accessories

Modern wedding fashion has become more laconic, today dresses are not overloaded with decorative elements in the form of finishing at the same time with embroidery, lace, beads, sequins, etc. It is all the more important to tastefully select a minimum of jewelry or bijouterie.

This could be:

  • small pendant;
  • pendant on a chain;
  • earrings;
  • an elegant bracelet worn over a glove.

By the way, in summer it is not recommended to wear long gloves up to the elbow and above, it is better to give preference to short lace gloves. The bride will need many more accessories, in addition to the bouquet - a handbag, a veil and everything that is needed to create a wedding hairstyle, a garter, etc.

Shoes

According to the signs, it is imperative to wear closed shoes for a wedding so that happiness does not flow away. But in the summer, wearing closed shoes is just torture, which is why most brides prefer open heeled sandals.

By the way, according to another sign, shoes at a wedding should not be new, so carry wedding shoes or sandals at home for several days. In general, prudent brides take more comfortable shoes with them in order to dance to their heart's content at their own wedding.

I don’t know ... a wedding dress should be magnificent when there will still be an opportunity to be a princess. And it doesn't matter whether it's a wedding in summer or winter.

I think that in summer a wedding dress should not be very lush and pompous. Ideally, as in the first photo.
