How to Wear Wedding Gloves Properly

A pair of wedding gloves is a chic addition to your wedding ensemble, but it also could be disastrous if it doesn't match with your wedding dress. So it is important to consider the lengths, fabrics and styles carefully to select a pair of wedding gloves that corresponds with your dress best.

Formality of the Wedding

First of all, you need to consider how formal your wedding will be and then to decide whether it is necessary to wear gloves. Traditionally, if you're going to hold an ultra-formal wedding, such as a formal church wedding, then a pair of wedding gloves is a must to complement your stunning gown. Furthermore, you should know that the length of gloves is consistent with the wedding formality.

Sleeve Length of the Wedding Gown

Normally, the sleeve length of the wedding gown should be taken into consideration before choosing a pair of gloves. If you wear a dress with sleeves that end just above your elbow, wearing mid-length gloves can be a nice option. You may choose not to wear gloves if you wear a long-sleeve gown. Shorter gloves match well with dresses that have short or long sleeves, On the other hand, long elbow or above elbow length gloves look great with a sleeveless or strap-less wedding dress.

Color of the Wedding Glove

Make sure that the color of your gloves matches the color of your wedding dress. If your bridal gown is white, choose white gloves. When your gloves do not coordinate with the color of your beautiful bridal dress, they should spoil your overall look.

Fabric of the Wedding Glove

Gloves are made of various materials like silk, satin, lace and cotton. If you want your wedding dress to be adorned with a lovely pair of gloves, remember to match the fabric of your gloves to your wedding gown. For instance, if your wedding dress is made of satin, you should choose satin gloves. We also need to consider the season when a wedding is held, such as soft materials like cotton, lace, tulle and silk are popular options for summer wedding and matte cotton is the best choice in fall.

Style of the Wedding Gown

The style of the bridal gown is the most important thing you need to consider when you intend to choose a pair of wedding gloves. Keep in mind that the style of the wedding gloves should match the overall style of your bridal wear. For example, simple gloves may match well with fancy dresses and fancy gloves may look great with simple dresses. If you wear a wedding dress with a long train, a pair of lace gloves will be an elegant bridal accessory.

Perfect Prom Shoes

Tips For Finding the Perfect Prom Shoes

So you've finally found the perfect prom gown after months of searching. You can't wait until it is ready to be adorned for a night of dancing and partying. It should be a major confidence booster that you have found a prom gown you love, but what about your shoes? One of the most important pieces of any ensemble, prom shoes can really add to your overall style and the look of your prom gown. While the gown itself is without doubt the most important item, your choice of shoes can either make it or break the look as a whole. This does not have to be difficult, as long as you know a few fashion tricks which you can pick up by speaking to the professionals, browsing styles online, or looking through magazines.

Leave Room for Shoes

Make sure your shoes match and complement the color and the design of your dress and the shape of your foot. Of course you should check and see if you will be able to walk and dance in them. This will help to ensure that you find the right balance between style and comfort before you slip on your 'magic slippers' for the evening of your life.

Fashion vs. Comfort

Some girls do not have a problem with foregoing comfort for fashion, especially if it comes down to a choice between the perfect pair of shoes and a pair that are just not as nice. However, you can have both, easily. The worst thing you can do on the night is to cripple yourself and not be able to dance the night away with your friends, or worse have to kick off your shoes just so that you can walk. A pair of amazing shoes is one thing, spoiling your look is quite another.

High heels are always first choice because they make legs longer and slimmer and they also contribute to your look by forcing you to keep an upright posture. However, there are comfortable heels and there are ridiculous heels too and unless you are used to wearing six inch heels, stay away from them on the night. A two inch heel is quite adequate while giving your legs the look you want, you will also be able to save your feet unnecessary hardship.

Heeled shoes come in a variety of options, from the most popular strappy sandal to the enclosed toe shoe. While sandals are pretty and look fantastic on manicured feet, they can be hard to wear all night because they don't give a lot of support while dancing. If you opt for the more comfortable enclosed toe, make sure it has a soft cushion lining so they won't end up you giving your toes a blister.

Ballet shoes while extremely comfortable do not enhance many prom gowns. They are better suited to full skirts and generally do not look good with tight fitting dresses. So if you are going to go this route, make sure the style of your gown is suitable.

Something which should be fundamental is that your shoes be the correct size for your feet. Too large and they might fly off and embarrass you, too tight and you will live to regret it later on that night.

Wear your shoes in before the prom. Wear them at home for an hour a night so that you get used to how they feel and get used to them, and if the soles are made of leather it will give you the chance to rough them up a little so that you don't slip or skid on the dance floor.

Fashion options

Your shoes absolutely and positively have to match your ensemble. They need not be the same color, and if not, they have to be complimentary. Whites, crème, black, gold and silver are the most popular choices for evening, but again be careful that they are complimentary as you don't want your feet standing out like a 'sore thumb' on the night of the prom.

Silver and gold shoes are ideal colors for sparkling, shimmering evening dresses, while black shoes suit dark dresses superbly. White and crème shoes should be worn with caution and unless you are very good at fashion styling should be avoided if possible.

You even have the option of being able to dye your shoes to match your outfit, but be cautious. Unless you are using a professional to dye your shoes they may come out a different shade. Leather and synthetic leather shoes can be dyed as well as satin and fabric shoes. Give the person dyeing your shoes a color swatch from your gown and check that the color is what you want before he or she goes ahead with the actual dyeing process.
