Summer image of a bride

Summer is the most popular season for weddings. In the summer, the bride can afford any experiments – the best time to reveal her beauty and femininity.

Wedding dress

On the one hand, the weather is almost always good in summer, and on the other, it can be very hot. Therefore, the bride should feel light and comfortable in the dress. Thick, trimmed fabrics that hold their shape are best left for the winter. Prefer light, airy, flowing fabrics. For example, silk, chiffon, crepe, tulle, organza. In addition, lace is a classic that will never go out of fashion.

Best styles of wedding dresses for the summer:

1. Greek style. A minimum of details, a loose fit, a short bodice and a light skirt – a Greek-style dress will successfully fit into the format of an outdoor ceremony.
2. Short wedding dress. It can be straight, fitted or with a small puffy skirt – it all depends on the preferences of the bride and the wedding style.
3. A-line. As a rule, dresses with an A-line have a lightweight corset and a skirt that looks light and neat, and also emphasizes the tenderness of the image.
4. Fish dress draws the attention of guests to the merits of your figure. Accessories, a long veil or a cape will be a good addition.
5. Wedding dress-transformer. At the ceremony, the bride may be present in a dress with a train skirt, and in the evening take it off and stay in a short dress.

In the summer, the following styles remain in trend: boho, rustic, loft, рrovence, eco-wedding. It is better to pay attention to dresses with asymmetry, voluminous or dropped sleeves, a deep neckline, an open back, a cut from the hip.

As for color, white will never lose its relevance. But the free, informal atmosphere in the summer provides an opportunity to move away from the classics and choose such pastel shades as ivory, champagne, mint, lavender.

Hairstyle

In summer, a wedding hairstyle should emphasize the image, not create inconvenience, be a “continuation” of the dress.

There are two options.

The first option is curls, barely noticeable, smooth or disheveled, decorated with braids and weaving. Curls never go out of fashion, but you should be ready for the fact that in hot weather they will interfere, touch your face, neck and shoulders.

The second option is hair neatly gathered into a hairstyle. It can be an air bun, a high ponytail, a stylish knot or a shell. The trend of the season is braids. The hairstyle will create a gentle look if you decorate it moderately, without unnecessary details: a stylish hairpin, wreath, comb, hoop or fresh flowers will do. Short-haired girls can wear a hat or veil.

Shoes

In the summer, the bride can forget about closed, uncomfortable shoes, and choose an alternative – sandals, stilettos with open toes or heels, clogs, mules, and even elegant slippers when it comes to a beach ceremony. Fashion is now democratic, so the most daring brides wear sports shoes.

Keep in mind that most of the time you will have to spend “on your feet.” It is worth taking special gel pads or spare flat shoes: for example, comfortable ballet flats decorated with sequins, rhinestones, satin ribbons. Opt for natural materials: leather and suede.

Bouquet

A summer wedding is a dream for florists. Your image will successfully complement the bouquet in the overall color palette, which will remain fresh all day. It is better not to use such “capricious” flowers as irises, peonies and gerberas.

The ideal solution is inflorescences, dried flowers, wild and seasonal flowers. Your bouquet can be simple and delicate or, conversely, bright and exotic. We recommend using eustoma, alstroemeria, calla lilies, hydrangeas, dahlias, freesias, spray roses. Lavender, chamomile or poppy in a bouquet will help to emphasize the originality of the image. You can decorate it with unusual elements: berries, spikelets, ribbons, shells, etc. It’s a good idea to prepare two wedding bouquets, one of which is for the photo shoot. Directly for the ceremony itself, you can choose a comfortable and unpretentious composition of flowers.

Accessories

The integrity of the wedding image depends on the accessories – this is the final touch in the bride’s outfit. What are the rules here?

• There is a trend towards simplicity and conciseness in jewelry – white, silver tone prevails in the jewelry palette, and gold is inferior;
• give up massive rings, earrings, chains – they are not combined with light and airy summer dresses;
• boleros should be used with caution – they have long been replaced by simpler capes, capes, etc.;
• the veil should be simple, not lush and in one layer.

The most important thing – do not forget, the wedding look should reflect your taste, preferences and lifestyle, so it should be chosen individually.
