A wedding is undoubtedly a very important and memorable event, not only for the bride and groom, but also for their parents, relatives and friends. Many guests, a long wedding day, numerous photographs prompt each guest of the ceremony to prepare for the event carefully and responsibly. By default, the dress code of any wedding is evening, so the guest needs to choose an elegant and elegant dress for this event. To choose this, pay attention to modern fashion trends.
Colors
Each year, Pantone Color Institute selects a palette of the year. Leading global designers and mass-market brands adhere to it in the preparation of fresh collections. In these shades, shoes, bags and nail polishes are produced, so in order to look fashionable, choose an evening dress for the wedding in the color of this year.
In 2018, the main color is ultraviolet. This deep bright purple is perfect for an evening wedding out of bridesmaids or for other guests of the celebration. It is also perfectly “mounted” with a fashionable futuristic cut and a trend on a space theme, so feel free to choose a girl's outfit from the future.
Other fashionable shades of the season are juicy orange grenadine, port wine from the family of red shades, a deep and noble dark blue peony, delicate pastel pink primrose and others. Such wedding dresses are perfect for celebrating a wedding celebration . Photos from the event will definitely distinguish you from the crowd of guests.
Invoices
Today in fashion shine in all its manifestations. Metallic fabrics and eco-leather are not surprising even in everyday life, and a wedding is an excellent occasion to walk a bright and shiny dress. Choose outfits in a futuristic style, but do not stop at a gold or silver shade. Look towards pearl, amber, pearlescent, copper shine. Such shades will definitely distinguish you from the crowd of guests, without overshadowing the bride.
Also, several seasons do not lose their sequins. They can decorate some part of the dress, for example, sleeves, and can resemble an iridescent mermaid tail.
Prints
In addition to plain dresses or evening dresses for a wedding for women with a pronounced texture, pay attention to prints. They are convenient in that they themselves do not require additional decorations, in contrast, for example, from a plain laconic dress. However, prints are insidious, because you need to choose the right shoes and bag for them.
Today, 2 variants of prints on fabric are in fashion, and the first is floral. Only flowers should not be in a country style and resemble a grandmother's dress - this option has the right to exist, but not too suitable for a wedding. Choose bright large flowers - embroidered or printed. Look towards pastel shades, or, conversely, active large colors on a bright background. In the trend and watercolor flowers, as if written on fabric with a wet brush. This dress is feminine and tender, and is suitable for a spring or summer wedding. Ethnic and folkloric motifs on dresses also look fresh and relevant - various patterns, ornaments in muted calm colors.
The second trend is animal prints. They were returned to fashion Dolce & Gabbana, more precisely, they never lost sight of a zebra or tiger. And in 2018, dresses from flowing fabrics with a leopard print do not look vulgar, but fresh and elegant.
Fabrics
The material from which the dress is sewn can largely determine its nature. There are fabrics that do not require any prints or complex cuts - they themselves make the outfit luxurious. This, of course, is velvet and lace, and both of them are in the trend of 2018.
Velvet is a soft and warm material that looks especially advantageous in deep saturated colors: emerald, burgundy, royal blue, black. The fabric shimmers in the light, gently enveloping the bends of the body, making you feminine and sophisticated. Velvet looks especially impressive in the format of a dress in a linen style, which is also in trend today. Warm material, combined with naked skin on the arms and shoulders, looks sexy, but not vulgar.
The same thing - sexy, not vulgar - we can say about lace. Today, translucent dresses in the floor of mesh and lace, which create the appearance of a “naked” body, are in fashion. Such outfits should be chosen carefully so as not to look too “naked” at a wedding surrounded by older guests. But if the lace is in moderation - such a dress will become your main decoration. A white or cream lace evening dress for the wedding for the bride is also suitable.
Silhouette
Asymmetry is in fashion today, so the dress can be chosen in accordance with this trend. This can be not only an uneven hem, but also an asymmetrical neckline or different sleeve lengths.
Dresses with a bare shoulder or with one sleeve also look very elegant and feminine. They can be either mini or floor-length, but a naked hand in any case will add a twist to the image. Another option is an incision on a long hem that opens the leg. Such an evening gown for a wedding will be very feminine, and the cut makes it moderately playful, and you certainly will not go unnoticed at the wedding party. The famous dress of Angelina Jolie at the 2012 Oscars is proof of this. Few people remember what kind of movie she represented, but everyone remembers a black dress from Versace with a high cut and the foot of a movie star.
Also today, voluminous sleeves are also in trend, both in the shoulder area and expanding downward. Also, do not pass by dresses in the style of the 80-90s with shoulder pads and puffs.
Length
If we talk about the fashionable length of an elegant dress, then you can only say one thing: choose what suits you personally. This means that both mini and midi and maxi are relevant. However, midi has been trending for many seasons in a row, and this length will be advantageous in any case - it is elegant, attractive and comfortable.
If you choose a retro outfit with a full skirt and fitted silhouette, then pay attention to the length to the middle of the calf. This is very unusual and feminine, but only suitable for very slender girls with graceful ankles.
Midi is also suitable as a wedding dress for overweight ladies, this length visually makes the figure proportional. However, the flowing dress in the floor with clear vertical lines (not necessarily with a picture, it can be a decorative element or even a picture of the falling folds of a skirt) will make the silhouette more slender and elongated.
Details
An evening dress can have as many decorative elements as it is evening. Therefore, feel free to choose outfits with frills, embroidery or fringe. As for the latter, today it is more popular than ever. This is partly a tribute to the fashion of retro, remember the playful dresses in the style of the great Gatsby.
When choosing a dress with embroidery, try to choose options in soothing colors. A dress with bright embroidered flowers on black fabric looks bright, but not too suitable for a wedding. But the outfit, whose top is made of mesh, decorated with delicate embroidery of pastel shades, will be more than appropriate.
Feathers are also in fashion, but do not be afraid of it - a plain dress, the hem or sleeves of which are decorated with matching long feathers, looks chic. The latest Golden Globe ceremony showed off several chic feather dresses - the same toilet as Jolie with sleeves trimmed with feathers, and Heidi Klum's dress with an asymmetrical hem and feather corsage.
When choosing an outfit with decorative elements, remember that evening dresses for overweight women for a wedding or any other event should be as concise as possible. Volumetric sleeves and flowers made of fabric, flounces, fringe, large print are suitable only for slim, and corpulent ladies they will add additional volume.
Style
As for the styles of the evening dress for the wedding, here the designers have not come up with anything new, and you can choose from all the variety. Among cocktail dresses, pay attention to a dress with a strict top and a full skirt of tulle knee-length. A sheath dress will also look very stylish. This option is perfect, for example, as an evening dress for a wedding for the mother of the bride or groom.
The dress with asymmetric length also looks unusual - short in front and long in back. It looks solemn and elegant, but does not interfere with moving and dancing.
If you prefer an evening dress to the floor, then pay attention to the silhouette of the year, which is very fashionable today. Year is a narrow skirt that extends from the knee down. It is also sometimes called the "mermaid." By the way, the year also looks great in the midi version.
When choosing a mini, try to maintain balance: if the dress is short, it is better that it be of a direct silhouette and closed from above. Open shoulders and a tight-fitting silhouette in combination with a mini can make the image vulgar.
Styles
This year retro is very popular - peas, puffy skirts, sleeves with flounces, wide belts. However, be careful not to overdo it with signs of style, otherwise your outfit will look like a costume for a carnival in the style of dudes.
Fashion for the 90s has not gone away for several seasons. Therefore, a brilliant short wedding evening dress with voluminous shoulders will look very stylish.
The linen style does not lose its fashionable positions , so a combination dress will also be appropriate. However, try so that the image does not turn out too naked - throw a jacket or a voluminous cardigan on your shoulders.
