Wedding dresses: tips and inspiration for guests

Choosing a dress to wear to a wedding is always a complicated task. Doubt arises and it is not known whether the chosen dress will be suitable for the ceremony. And even today there are parties in the most different places and at times that do not help at all when choosing.

Doubts are more than normal and every woman ends up going through tremendous indecision when choosing the dress she will wear.

But, according to image and style consultant, Juliana Burlamaqui, three items must be taken into account when choosing which dress to wear: the time, place and weather on the wedding day.

“The ideal dress is the one that is suitable for that particular party, that is also in accordance with the personal style, age and physical type of the woman”, adds Juliana, stating that the woman cannot forget her personal tastes and the that looks best for your age and body type.

day wedding dress

It has become very common to hold weddings during the day, whether at lunchtime or in the late afternoon and when there is sunlight involved, the doubt gets even bigger about which dress to choose. Is it appropriate to use sparkles? Or dresses in dark shades?

“For daytime weddings, the guest should avoid shine, very dark colors like black, for example, and very tight long lengths”, is Juliana’s opinion. The long is allowed as long as it is flowy, made of light fabrics in pastel tones, printed or colored. The important thing is to create a light and suitable look for the day.

Gloss should not be avoided in applications as well as in the choice of fabric. “Be careful with some fabrics that, despite not having shine or embroidery, the surface itself is already shiny like taffeta”, advises the consultant.

Also avoid using excess transparency and very tight and sensual dresses, this also does not suit a day wedding. Opt for lace and florals that, in addition to being romantic, are perfect for these occasions.

Evening wedding dress

Evening wedding is the ideal event for you to shine and put on your most beautiful dress. Here everything is allowed. “In a night wedding you can be more daring. Sparkles, structured longs, black, more sophisticated jewelry”, reveals Juliana.

Basic black is always a good option, but don’t forget to add an extra charm to get out of the ordinary and look even more amazing. Invest in an amazing shoe, in addition to that accessory that will make you shine.

Colors and prints are also allowed, as long as there is something else to enhance your production. Necklines and transparencies take away the girlish air and add a womanly touch, which has everything to do with a night wedding. Of course, always respecting your tastes and her style.

It’s also okay to wear it long, even when invited. If you don’t want to go over the top, opt for long lengths without sparkles, which helps to accentuate the luxury of the outfit. It is also important to take into account where the event will take place, as even some night weddings take place in simpler places and, then, the long can be too much.

dress for bridesmaids

If you had the honor of being chosen to be a bridesmaid, it’s time for you to invest in a stunning dress to live up to the invitation. For your choice to have no mistake, don’t forget to take into account the place and time of the party.

Asking the bride about her preferences is always a good option and will help you when choosing the ideal dress. “It all depends on the bride’s wishes. She is usually the one who suggests it”, emphasizes Juliana.

If the bride wants the bridesmaids to wear long, it is good to wear a dress of that length. There are also brides who make demands regarding the color of the dress that the bridesmaids will wear, so it is important to always ask her about her preferences.

“What is not recommended is the use of black and dresses that are close to white, such as off White, ivory, raw”, guides the consultant. For the rest, everything is free. You can use sparkles, transparencies, lace and choose the dress that best suits you.

Dress for mothers of the bride

Being a mother of one of the bride and groom is, like getting married, a unique moment and, thus, doubts end up being immense and choosing the ideal dress an almost impossible mission. However, there is always a dress that will suit you and will be perfect for the occasion.

It is also good for mothers to know the rules of the bridesmaids and follow that line when choosing the dress. The dress has to be stunning, but no more than the bride’s, since it’s her day and, therefore, white or colors close to that shade should also be avoided, as Juliana reinforces.

“The bride’s mothers should avoid low-cut dresses and also the color black”, is another orientation of the consultant. “Tea pink, burgandy, petroleum blue and bronze are great color options for the mothers of the bride and groom”, suggests Juliana.

Dresses with sleeves are also great because they can hide the arms that often bother more mature women. Transparency may not be a good option either. On the other hand, glitter should be used, if the ceremony allows, to light up and give a touch of elegance to the dress of that special day.

Hair and makeup for wedding guests

Hair and makeup are just as important as the choice of dress. A hair that adorns the face and complements the dress, helps to create a harmonious and appropriate look. Makeup, on the other hand, makes you shine and defines the strongest points of your face, in addition to enhancing your beauty. Below are some tips for you to rock when choosing your hairstyle and makeup:

Hair

For you to choose the ideal hair, it is important to take into account the model of your dress. If it has a lot of detail on the top, it is better to opt for simple hairstyles or updos. If the model has a neckline or some detail on the back and you want it to appear, two options are interesting: the hair tied or the hair thrown to the side.

If you have simpler dresses, without too many details, you can perfect your hairstyle. Curls, waves, volume, braids, half up, diva hair, anything goes. “The more natural the hairstyle, the more elegant it will be. Be careful with those very elaborate hairstyles that, in addition to being ‘over’, will leave you with a not-so-jovial appearance”, guarantees Juliana.

The following is a list of articles with the most beautiful hairstyles that you can choose to wear to a wedding:

Makeup

The choice of makeup should be made to match the occasion and also with the whole look. If the ceremony is during the day, opt for lighter makeup and without too much shine. “At night, makeup can be stronger, with shine. The black eye works very well, especially for blondes”, is the advice of the consultant.

Capriche when preparing the skin, make a striking eye with neat lashes and choose a lipstick that is perfect with your skin tone. That way, you can’t go wrong and you’ll look beautiful without too much effort. If you like to be daring, anything goes, as long as in the end you look in the mirror and see a look that makes you happy.
