How it differs from a formal one: pros and cons
Among the objective advantages of the simplified ceremony are:
- budget , you will have to spend money exclusively on state fees;
- efficiency - just 15 minutes, and you are already married;
- the ability to reschedule the celebration itself to any day and arrange an off-site registration in a beautiful place in nature, a banquet in a cozy restaurant, or go on a trip;
- lack of regulations on appearance or the presence of accessories (you can even do without rings);
- no difficulties with accommodating guests if you are not getting married in your hometown;
- informality , if for some reason you do not like the traditional wedding fuss.
However, it cannot be said that a non-ceremonial ceremony is without its disadvantages:
- many newlyweds lack the touchingness of the moment; the procedure seems too formal, crumpled, and uninteresting;
- elderly conservative relatives will definitely not approve of this option;
- and other acquaintances may begin to whisper about the reasons for the lack of a magnificent celebration;
- lovely traditions, gifts, congratulations - all this will also be cut down, but only if you do not plan to organize a celebration for friends and relatives later.
If you want the painting procedure to be seen by all your loved ones, the event will be surrounded by festive surroundings, music, the registry office employees will say prepared congratulations, and the bride and groom will look like in the picture, then it is better to choose a solemn option.
If you prefer warm words from loved ones rather than from strangers, do not want formalities, do not perceive the registry office as a place where you can sincerely have fun, or are simply going to save money and time, then your option is a simplified procedure.
Color scheme, decorative elements
Modern wedding fashion boldly uses different colors for weddings. With color you can emphasize your individuality and express your character. Pastel colors occupy the leading place:
- All shades of pink (pale coral, powder pink, sakura). A pink dress will create an image of girlish naivety and dreaminess. For decoration, flounces, ruffles, bows, and various floral-themed decorations are suitable. You'll look good in pink if your wedding takes place in the spring. Pregnant women can advantageously hide their growing belly with a high-waisted dress. Avoid fabrics with glitter - it's vulgar. Too short pink dresses look frivolous;
- Beige dress (milk, vanilla, soft bronze) – luxury, elegance, restraint. The color will highlight the beauty of your face. Lace and embroidery work well as decoration. Tight-fitting dresses with an accentuated waist look best in this color. Remember that this color makes you look fat, so you shouldn’t get carried away with fluffy skirts and layers;
- Blue and light blue shades (sky, cornflower blue, azure) are fashionable and fresh. The color gives airiness and lightness, and therefore fluffy skirts, folds, and tiers will be appropriate. An open, strapless top with bare arms is a great option. A blue satin or silk dress will make your figure taller and more sophisticated. Blue dresses are well decorated with a scattering of white flowers, expensive silver embroidery on the top and a beautiful silver belt. Dresses made from blue lace fabric look very impressive;
- Soft green color (turquoise, mint, pistachio). Fluffy dresses made of heavy and light fabrics will look good. For a short one, you need to choose a darker green color. Silver, black, green shiny embroidery looks beautiful on green. Lace inserts in green or black will add mystery and charm to the outfit.
Dresses in bright colors look very fashionable. This way you will emphasize your extravagance and attract attention:
- Bright red color – passion, sexuality, intrigue. In some eastern countries, this color symbolizes wealth and good health. Dresses can be cut in a variety of ways: fluffy, asymmetrical, in the Greek style. For decoration, you can use draperies, trains, and gold embroidery;
- Yellow color is ideal for tanned skin. Girls with a strong personality choose yellow models. Such a dress can be made luxurious, royal, or, on the contrary, simple and modest. Decor - black, gold, silver embroidery and lace of the same colors, scatterings of gold, white, yellow flowers on the dress, belt and trim along the edge of the flounces with yellow satin or silk;
- A blue dress is dazzling, mysterious, symbolizing severity, inaccessibility, and splendor. Blue color is good for slimming. But keep in mind, it can make your skin look pale. Decorate your outfit with silver embroidery, blue and silver lace.
What is non-solemn marriage registration?
The name “non-solemn registration of marriage” speaks for itself - it’s just an ordinary visit to the registry office to formalize the relationship. No veil, elegant guests and Mendelssohn march.
The reasons for choosing a non-ceremonial registration can be very different - someone does not want to spend money on a lavish wedding, someone chose an outdoor ceremony, and someone simply does not like crowded celebrations. But since there will be no celebration or it has been postponed, then what to wear to register a marriage without a celebration?
Hairstyle and accessories
Hairstyles with natural or artificial flowers are gaining popularity. They will give the image youth and freshness. Small buds can be woven into a braid. Flowers will look very beautiful on large curls. If there are flowers on the dress, then the hairstyle, complemented by buds, will beautifully complement the outfit.
You can decorate headbands and hair tied in a bun with flowers. Flower decoration will look great on short hair.
A variety of braids and braids do not lose their relevance. A braid around a bun on the top of the head, 2 side braids that go into a bun at the back of the head, French braids decorated with satin ribbons and pearl beads. If you have long hair, opt for a loose braid with large rings.
For long hair, various side hairstyles will look great. These can be various braids with transparent ribbons woven into them, ponytails curled into large waves or curls. You can complement your hairstyle with openwork hairpins and threads with pearls.
The tiara is a popular wedding accessory. It will perfectly decorate smoothly combed bun hairstyles or voluminous hairstyles with curls. A short haircut, combed back with curled ends and a small tiara - the image of a mischievous princess. Remember that complex, voluminous, high hairstyles need to be decorated with modest accessories.
Attributes
There are no rules regarding traditional wedding attributes either. You can exchange rings, however, most likely, you will not have enough time to do this directly in the office. Nothing, however, prevents you from performing this ritual later, already leaving the office or even at an evening dinner.
It is better to check with the employees of a particular department in advance about the possibility of photo and video shooting. Usually this is not prohibited, but it is better to make sure, since in some registry offices no one except the newlyweds are allowed into the non-ceremonial ceremony.
If it was possible to agree on filming, then this important responsibility is usually assigned to the witness.
Advice! Remember that there will be very little time for photos and videos, so it is better if the chosen person is fluent in using a camera and can do everything quickly but beautifully.
Image options for women over 40 years old
Middle-aged ladies have a special charm and self-confidence. The image should be sophisticated, chic, but at the same time restrained.
Wedding dresses can be any color, even black. It is worth choosing a style depending on the characteristics of the figure. Evening long dresses in cherry, blue, and green colors will look ideal. You should not buy dresses with full skirts. Tight-fitting, flowing styles will look much better. Those with beautiful breasts can afford deep necklines, but it is better to refrain from strapless dresses with a heavily exposed back. A top made of lace or transparent fabrics will look good.
You shouldn’t give up decorations, but they shouldn’t be bulky or flashy. If you have a high hairstyle and a long neck, then choose long earrings. The more complex the hairstyle, the more modest the earrings should be. Neck jewelry must be selected depending on the neckline and decor of the top of the dress. If the dress is decorated with silver embroidery, then you should not wear gold, and vice versa. Do you have beautifully shaped arms and long sleeves? Wear a medium width bracelet. In any case, do not overload your wedding outfit with jewelry; avoid excess glitter.
Short hair should be neatly cut and elegantly styled. If you have long hair, then it is better to make various buns out of it. You can decorate your hair with beautiful hairpins and beads. You should not use tiaras, tiaras, frivolous flowers and ribbons. And, of course, you shouldn’t wear a veil.

- choose only the model that fits your figure perfectly. Nothing spoils the appearance more than the wrong size, length, etc.;

Tips for choosing accessories for a dress
A simple and informal dress for marriage registration without a celebration in the summer will go well with large jewelry - plastic bracelets and colored earrings. Jewelry for a cocktail or sheath dress should not be conspicuous, regardless of whether it is made of precious metals or costume jewelry.
A classic for holidays and parties is a small ladies clutch. Fashionistas have long perceived it more as an accessory than a handbag. Its capacity is really not very large - enough to put your phone and keys. But a carefully selected style of clutch will help it fulfill its main function - to complete the image of the bride.
Before the informal registration, the bride is unlikely to want to sit for a long time at the hairdresser. A good idea would be a beautiful brooch or ribbon in a simple hairstyle.
Styles - what to choose for a newlywed expecting a child
Let's take a closer look at the most successful cut:
- Closed . A good choice for those who profess a religion that does not allow a woman to bare her arms and shoulders. In them, the top (top) is combined with skirts made of transparent flowing materials. The neckline and sleeve are decorated with rhinestones, embroidery or pearls.
- Open. It would be perfect for those who have a very beautiful shoulder line and graceful posture. The Greek style with an open back looks ideal and very stylish on them. If a young woman has a large bust, then she can and is recommended to wear variations on straps (preferably wide ones), with a one-sided armhole. They are inappropriate for cold weather.
General stylist recommendations
The range of wedding salons is replete with a variety of options that are suitable for any wedding ceremony. To make the image appropriate and solemn, try to adhere to simple rules.
- The bride is the queen at her wedding. But the painting is carried out in a government agency, so it’s still not worth it to unnecessarily shock and shock the guests.
- An alternative to a fluffy dress is an elegant suit, a stylish jumpsuit, or a short sundress. The main requirement for an outfit is that it matches the girl’s figure.
- If the painting and celebration are on different days, choose 2 different outfits.
- The preferred option for painting without a wedding is an evening or cocktail dress in light pastel shades.
