The most fashionable styles of the wedding season – 2015
Classic A-line – at the peak of popularity
Silhouettes
Elegant dresses A-silhouette are at the peak of their popularity.
The mermaid silhouette emphasizes the figure
Mermaid silhouette for several seasons in a trend. They are loved because they emphasize the dignity of the figure. But, of course, for such a dress it is necessary that the figure is perfect.
Fluffy dresses never go out of fashion!
Fluffy dresses – invariably at the top of popularity. Since childhood, every girl dreams of becoming a princess and getting married in a fluffy dress. By the way, parents – mothers, fathers and grandmothers very often insist on fluffy dresses. And there are situations when a girl comes with a picture of a tight-fitting dress, which she dreams of, but chooses a magnificent one in the end!
Those who have the means to afford, usually buy two dresses: a magnificent one – for a celebration and a wedding ceremony. The second is quieter, in which it is more convenient to move.
The top (sometimes the bottom) of the dress is decorated with lace
Top styling and cutouts
In 2015, as in the previous season, the top closed with lace and tulle is in fashion. Many models come with a removable bolero.
Deep necklines and open backs are for the brave!
If we talk about the classic options for necklines, then V-shaped, as well as boat necklines are in fashion. For the more daring, there are always deep necklines and open backs.
In a corset, the bride feels more confident
As for the corset top, corsets have long been abandoned in Europe. In Russia, most of the models remain corset. Because not everyone can boast of an ideal figure: something needs to be pulled, somewhere to support something. In a corset, the bride feels more confident.
In trend – the translucency of the outfit
Colors and fabrics
This season, more revealing outfits are in fashion, for example, translucency is popular. In Europe, this is treated normally – there the bride can afford to go out in a transparent dress. In our country, for the time being, this is treated with caution. It is better to complement such dresses with removable covers. They will allow for the formal part to be in a traditional wedding dress, which will be completely closed and acceptable for relatives and friends. And only then, for a photo shoot alone or on a honeymoon, you can afford a more revealing outfit by removing the cover. And, of course, in order to feel confident in a translucent dress in a sticky manner, the figure should be close to the “hourglass” type.
Decor accent: white dress – red belt
Last year, there were accents on the decor of the dress: a white dress – a red belt, for example. Everyone ate it! After all, for two seasons in a row, all the brides were the same. And now they again go to the side of the classics. Although if such an accent suits you, then go for it!
Classics are now fashionable in everything: in a dress, in the image of a bride. This is mainly loose hair, there are no complicated hairstyles, bright makeup. Naturalness is a priority.
Warm shades of white are in fashion. And a dress-transformer
Not so long ago, colored dresses were popular – black and white, white and red, and so on. They, like cold white, are already in the past of fashion. Warm shades of white are in fashion: from milky to caramel.
We select a dress according to the type of figure
Mermaid silhouette – ideal for an hourglass
Hourglass shape type – an ideal figure that suits absolutely any silhouettes of wedding dresses. The “mermaid” silhouette, which is also called “fish”, will very well emphasize the ideality of the figure. But in fact, any dress – from classic to avant-garde – will highlight the advantages of this type of figure!
A-line dress – for the “lower triangle”
Lower triangle shape type – choose dresses with an A-line, when the flare comes from the waist.
The “rectangle” figure will be decorated with a corset and a fluffy skirt
Rectangle shape type – a fluffy dress will do. To “draw” the waist, emphasize it with a fluffy skirt and corset.
A fluffy skirt is also suitable for the “upper triangle”
Upper triangle shape type – a fluffy skirt is also good to balance large shoulders. Or the classic A-line will do.
We hide flaws and emphasize advantages
It is better for short girls to choose straight dresses.
Short stature. The dress should be straight. If a girl is also thin with a short stature, then you can pick up a fluffy dress, and even a mermaid will fit well – but the figure should be perfect!
V-neck will lengthen your neck
Short neck. V-neck. No straps or shoulder straps needed. Only the neckline and embellishment that repeats the V-neckline. And always raised hair.
Full hands. Greek dresses – with a smell, but not in the Empire style. Classic A-silhouettes will do. Boleros, capes, and a transparent lace sleeve will help.
Broad shoulders. The American armhole saves very well. No boats, triangles will correct, only the American armhole!
Corset with a bright bodice will visually enlarge the chest
Small breasts. You need to choose a corset with drapery or lace on the chest to visually increase it. Plus, you definitely need push-up cups.
6 tips for choosing the perfect wedding dress
Ask the groom what he would like to see you on your wedding day
1. Ask the groom what he would like to see you on your wedding day. There were situations when a girl bought a fluffy dress, then she described it to the groom, and he said: “No, this is not necessary.” At least ask what silhouette he likes! This is a holiday for two, and we girls want to look good for our beloved first of all!
2. Don’t run for a dress after work. You won’t be able to choose a dress even in a couple of hours. Better to set aside a whole day for this. It is worth going in the morning in a good mood and getting ready for the fact that this is a rather long process! Even if you have an idea of how your dress should be, you may want to try on some other styles and models. And it will take a lot of time!
3. You cannot choose a dress based on photos from your phone! The photo on the phone does not convey all the beauty of the dress and how it actually looks. If you want to choose a dress from a photo, then you need to invite a person with a camera who knows how to use it!
You should be comfortable in a dress
4. Listen, but do not take too seriously the advice of moms, girlfriends. This is your day, your choice and your dress! You have to listen to everyone, but make the choice yourself!
5. Choose proven and serious wedding dress shops. And always listen to the advice of the consultants who work there. They have a lot of experience, and they immediately see which models will suit a particular type of figure.
6. Convenience! Do not forget that you will have to spend the whole day in this dress. Walk in a dress, bend over, sit, move, squat, raise and lower your arms. Comfort and convenience should be felt in everything!
