More weddings take place in white. This has always been the case. White is considered the traditional shade that most brides choose. However, recently, modern brides are trying to stand out from other wedding celebrations and choose a powder shade.
It is even more delicate and romantic than traditional white. In addition, a creamy soft tone will help you not look too extravagant. On the one hand, you will get a non-traditional, but more original wedding. On the other hand, you won’t experiment too much.
Variety of styles
Designers suggest trying on a powder-colored wedding dress for a themed celebration. Young ladies in flowing clothes look touching at a wedding in retro, vintage, shabby chic or rustic style.
Current solutions:
- The elegance of straight models is classical rigor. According to the unspoken requirements of wedding etiquette, such dresses are often one-piece. Elegant brides choose a slight emphasis on the chest line, emphasizing the waist with a thin belt;
- The freedom of Greek attire is a powder dress made of flowing fabric, freely framing the figure. Girls with a small bust choose this style, because the high waist visually balances the figure;
- Fluffy dresses feature a fitted bodice and a layered skirt. The model assumes a petticoat. Brave ladies prefer a deep neckline, modest ladies prefer closed robes;
- Model A silhouette – connects straight lines of cut. The silhouette smoothly expands from top to bottom, elongating the figure. Any girl will be transformed by trying on the image of an aristocrat;
- Exquisite model “The Little Mermaid” - the dress tightly fits the curves of the body to the knees, turning lower into a draped skirt.
An alternative to a snow-white wedding dress is a powder-colored wedding dress. The delicate palette allows you to choose the appropriate outfit color from a variety of shades.
Cocktail
Sometimes a wedding is planned among relatives, so fluffy robes with multi-layered skirts are unnecessary here. A powder-colored cocktail wedding dress will highlight the sophistication of the bride without diminishing the solemnity of the moment. For dresses, expensive fabrics are used, complemented with rhinestones or embroidery with golden threads:
- A soft pink lace cocktail dress will add a touch of sophistication. Underneath the thin patterned material is a case made of thicker fabric;
- A short dress with bare shoulders and a short skirt is suitable not only for a wedding, but also for other celebrations;
- Greek attire is chosen by those with broad shoulders. Flirty flounces on the chest line and a high waist will visually enlarge the bust;
- Curvy girls can try on loose-fitting cocktail dresses. Flowing fabrics will give the image airiness, and a deep neckline will emphasize your advantages;
- A model with a full skirt reminiscent of a ballerina's tutu. The powdery shade of a tutu skirt is the choice of thin ladies.
The versatility of cocktail wedding dresses is known. All that remains is to choose a model that suits your figure and choose matching accessories to create a spectacular look.
Closed
The powder color sets off the nobility of closed models of wedding dresses. It is a mistake to consider such a robe prim; on the contrary, lace inserts add touchingness to the image.
Suggested options:
- Powder dresses with closed backs. You can choose a model with a completely closed back or decorated with translucent material. Suitable for slender brides with beautiful curves; if there are folds on the back, it is better to turn to a different style;
- Neckline covered with fabric. There is a neckline completely covered with thick fabric and with lace inserts. Thin girls will like it because of the opportunity to use a bra with a push-up effect;
- Models with closed shoulders. Dresses in shades of powder look solemn at weddings and during the official registration of marriage. They are perfect for ladies with narrow shoulders, adding volume with puffy translucent sleeves;
- Outfits with short or long sleeves. Any sleeve styles are in harmony with powder dresses. From short lanterns, ¾ length to wrist length. Under lace models with short sleeves, mittens or gloves are worn, emphasizing the thinness of the fingers.
A short
A short powder dress is suitable for a youth celebration. If long robes do not allow the bride to enjoy the holiday, then bold models are the choice of a confident girl who does not depend on public opinion:
- Dress transformer. The long variation is used during the official part, after which it turns into a comfortable short dress;
- Models with a train. It’s better to stick with detachable trains so that you can get rid of the spectacular detail later. A long powdery train eliminates the presence of a veil; it is better to opt for a tiara or a wreath of small roses;
- Powder sheath dresses. The robe will hide figure flaws and look strict and official. To add a touch of playfulness, you should opt for tight-fitting models;
- Mini-dresses of a delicate palette. Too short powdery wedding dresses look vulgar on young brides, even if they are planning a youth wedding. It is better to leave low-necked models for a club party, choosing a medium neckline and long sleeves.
An interesting solution - the bride immediately puts on a short dress, and on top of it - a transparent floor-length skirt. The girl feels comfortable without breaking the taboo on wedding dresses.
Shirt
The elegance of the bride will be emphasized by a powder shirt dress for the wedding. The silhouette follows the straight cut of a men's shirt with cuffs on the sleeves and a row of buttons. A girl feels comfortable in such a model, which hides the volume of her stomach and hips. An emphasis on the waistline with a wide belt will help to elongate the silhouette, and long sleeves will hide the fullness of the arms.
Bride's choice:
- Asymmetrical model. The fashionable style will appeal to both young girls and older brides. The effect is expressed in the difference in the length of the front and back of the skirt. The style will allow you to show off your slender legs, and the soft transition creates a romantic look;
- Dress with a stand-up collar. Offer for older women. The skin of the neck quickly fades, so a lace stand-up collar will help out in this situation;
- Sleeveless shirt. Selection of slender brides for summer weddings. It is a mistake to try it on for girls with full arms. Creative brides prefer a loose-fitting dress with puffed sleeves. A row of white buttons from collar to hem looks romantic.
Trapezoid
Curvy brides prefer a laconic cut of the a-line dress. A spacious robe will hide the belly and hips, showing off the girl’s assets:
- The A-line dress is narrowed at the shoulder line, but gradually widens downwards;
- The length of the robe may vary. If knee-length models were previously popular, then longer dresses gradually came into fashion;
- A girl feels comfortable in an outfit with a wide strap. The bust stands out effectively, distracting attention from the fullness of the bride;
- A short dress with a stand-up collar is a choice for those with a non-standard figure. In this model, attention is focused on the waist;
- A lace trapeze is a bold decision for young girls. Models are figure-hugging, so ideal proportions are important. This option will appeal to lovers of simple, no-frills styles;
- Guipure models with a train are an idea for a summer wedding.
Using a powder-colored a-line dress, you can create a wedding look in the style of Audrey Hepburn. Matching lace gloves and small pearl beads are selected to match the robe. A babette hairstyle will complement the look.
Additional wedding accessories
One of the most important details of a wedding is the invitation cards for guests. They tell about the time, location and nuances of the planned celebration. You can create both cards in a delicate powdery color scheme, and invitations on a traditional background with the addition of powdery details.
In the same style and color, you can decorate other wedding details, for example, table numbers, seating cards or arch design when painting. Placement cards are most often made from cardboard, but you can go a more original route. For example, replace the cards with flower buds of a suitable color. You can decorate invitations with openwork lace or pearls, colored splashes of a suitable shade.
You can sew a cushion for rings yourself from powder-colored fabric. A creative alternative would be a pillow made from flower buds, which, in addition to the atmosphere, will fill the ceremony of painting and marriage registration with a pleasant aroma.
Powder-colored wedding cake and sweet table
The most important dessert of a wedding celebration is the cake, which should also be decorated in accordance with the chosen color palette. You can order a multi-tiered dessert with creamy white-pink or powdery floral decoration. Edible beads, lace made from glaze, and figurines made from fondant in pastel or pink shades are also suitable as decorations.
The sweet table for guests can be supplemented with sliced fruit, cakes, cupcakes with frosting, fluffy white and pink marshmallows and other delicious sweets.
A wedding in powder color is elegant and sophisticated. This holiday will take place in an incredibly romantic and tender atmosphere, giving a good mood and joyful emotions!
Ready-made images of the bride
A powder-colored wedding dress does not require flashy accessories. The airiness of a classic robe is emphasized by a light long veil; short models include a veil hat. Pay attention to composing the bouquet to create a harmonious image. Use soft pink peonies, ranunculus or roses, and tie the stem with a matching ribbon.
Style features:
- The sophistication of Provence. The lightness of French Provence - a flowing powder-colored satin dress and a weightless veil. The design of the hall and decorations are chosen according to contrast, that is, in graphite, amethyst, wine or emerald color;
- The dreaminess of shabby chic style. Choose a fluffy dress with lace inserts. For the skirt, several layers of translucent fabric are used. The shoes must be covered with guipure. It's time to try on vintage earrings, brooches, chains or pins;
