What are there
For a wedding, brilliant wedding decorations can be divided into several categories:
- sequined;
- decorated with sequins;
- embroidered with lurex and beads;
- decorated with precious stones;
- decorated with artificial stones;
- evening and wedding dresses with rhinestones;
- using bugles;
- brocade decorations.
As a rule, wedding dresses of a simple style are decorated with glitter. Even the most inconspicuous and unpretentious outfit takes on a sophisticated look with the help of such elements. The main thing is to choose the right decorative details.
Sequins can be:
- flat;
- convex;
- matte;
- shiny;
- rounded;
- faceted.
If you have chosen a dress of an intricate style, then it is better to decorate it with sequins. And not all, but only certain elements. Sequins can be used to highlight cuffs, collar or belt. You shouldn't decorate the entire skirt, it will look rude.
Rhinestones are considered an elegant decoration for wedding decorations. Today you can choose rhinestones of different shapes, colors and sizes. They look good on a pastel colored dress. Rhinestones in decor can be combined with lace, beads, and pearls.
Precious or artificial stones can be used to lay out patterns and entire compositions on clothes, or arrange them in an intricate scattering. The emphasis with stones, like sequins, is on a specific detail of the outfit. If you want to decorate the entire dress with stones, it may become heavy and pull on the material.
Bugle beads (elongated beads) are used to decorate the decoration, embroidering patterns on it or scattering the bugles randomly. A narrow, figure-hugging dress, decorated entirely with glass beads, looks impressive. They can also create a shiny fringe by decorating the hem, belt or sleeves of an outfit.
Beads are slightly smaller in size than glass beads. They are good at decorating an outfit with spots or creating real masterpieces of embroidery. Transparent beads, pink and steel, look impressive. You can choose beads to match the dress. Even matte beads create a shiny effect in sunlight or artificial light. Therefore, a wedding dress decorated with beads looks very impressive and has a shimmering effect.
What kind of shine can it be?
Shining silk creates silhouettes of unearthly beauty and, like glossy satin, works perfectly in contrast with matte fabrics, creating a unique, deep, attractive image.
A white dress, made entirely of thick satin, will have a sculpturally precise silhouette, and flowing silk will emphasize all the curves.
To transform the garment and sparkle, sometimes a shiny satin ribbon running along the hem of the dress or along the waist is enough.
But brilliance can be expressed in another way. Tulle with glitter offers thousands of possibilities.
Organza, a complex, thin, transparent, but very strong fabric, has a unique shimmer and shine and is able to compensate for the lack of light. Today, fabric with silver and gold plating has appeared, and even chameleon organza with a “shanzhan” effect, which, depending on the angle of refraction and lighting, changes color and shimmers like a rainbow.

Styles
As for the dress styles of the shiny version, you need to remember that it can emphasize the advantages and hide the flaws of the figure. Playing on the contrasts of the bodice and skirt can emphasize the style of the outfit. And the decor of individual elements will enhance the overall effect and present a certain part of the body in a favorable light.
For a girl with a thin waist and wide hips, a dress with a belt, falling down in loose folds, or an A-line silhouette is suitable. Also, thin newlyweds can choose short cocktail dresses.
A hem decorated with glitter or rhinestones is appropriate for a classic-style dress. This will highlight the beauty of the outfit and style. If the outfit is A-line with a full skirt, then you can decorate the bodice or décolleté area. In this case, the emphasis will be on the bride's chest.
A fluffy dress with a corset, trendy this season, is decorated throughout the corset with stones, lurex embroidery or rhinestones. A formal wedding dress can be decorated in several areas. For example, add shine and shine to the collar and cuffs.
The decoration with an open back looks seductive. In this style, stones and glitter adorn the neckline at the back. This will emphasize the bride's posture.
On a dress with a fluffy hem or train, the emphasis is on the lower part of the outfit. Decorative stones, beads, rhinestones, and sequins are suitable for decoration.

Fabrics
The shiny effect of fabrics can be created by sewing rhinestones, glass beads or other elements onto it. The material can be covered with contrasting sparkles, gold can be used, giving the outfit an unusual shine. You can choose the desired brightness of the dress so that it looks unobtrusive or, conversely, dazzling.
However, you can simply sew an outfit from ready-made shiny fabric. Brocade is ideal for this. It is entirely woven from iridescent threads that imitate silver, dark bronze or bright gold. Thus, the fabric acquires an unusual sheen and shimmer.
Brocade is perfect for a wedding dress if the celebration takes place during the cold season of the year. It is quite dense and warm. It is worth remembering that photographs against a snowy background will look beautiful and fantastic if the bride is wearing a brocade robe.
Organza, satin, guipure, and silk look shiny and shiny. They can be additionally decorated with beads or rhinestones, or decorated with gold or silver embroidery.
Shimmering wedding dresses: what fabrics and materials are they made from?
In 2021, you should give preference to shimmering dresses made from flowing fabrics, which ideally support the modern concept of femininity and fragility of the bride. Flowing and light fabrics perfectly highlight the figure and also go well with shiny decorative elements that seem to float in the air. At the same time, the main fabric for a wedding dress, from which the bodice and petticoat are made, is usually denser, and it is already supplemented with lighter materials: tulle, chiffon, organza, lace, tulmarine.
When it comes to sparkling wedding dresses in the context of performance, there are two main options:
- wedding dress made of shiny fabric;
- wedding dress made of plain fabric with shimmering decorative elements.
Wedding dress made of shimmering fabric
Shiny fabric itself is an accent element, so outfits made entirely of this material do not need additional decor or an abundance of accessories. Also, shimmering fabric may be partially present, for example, a wedding dress with a shiny skirt and a simple bodice.
As for the decor, its main task is to place accents on the dress, but not to attract the main attention. The decor can be placed on the bodice or skirt in the form of small compositions.
Rhinestones, beads and sequins are the main accent details
Wedding dresses with rhinestones are the choice of brave and confident girls who want to feel like queens. It is important to pay attention to the quality of the rhinestones. If it's Swarovski, fabulous shimmers and bright highlights are guaranteed! It is also important that the rhinestones are sewn on - they will hold tightly and will definitely not fall off at the most inopportune moment. A high-quality wedding dress with rhinestones always looks expensive and luxurious.
Shimmering decorative elements such as sequins will appeal to lovers of everything bright and original. A beautiful wedding dress with sequins is guaranteed to attract the attention of others and demonstrate the bride's original thinking.
You can decorate the entire dress with beads, or use it to create spectacular appliqués. It gives a delicate glow that will appeal to lovers of everything modest and laconic.
Accessories
If you have chosen a sequined dress for the ceremony, then you need to be careful when choosing wedding accessories. They should not interrupt the outfit. Therefore, try to limit yourself to a minimum number of decorations.
Each element that creates a sparkling effect requires certain accessories. So, you can wear pearls, jewelry made of precious metals or a fur boa with a brocade dress.
The color of shoes, gloves, veils and other accessories depends on the decor of the robe. The style of the outfit and its style are taken into account.
Another important point is the external environment of the wedding. To prevent the bride from looking inappropriately chic and luxurious in a shiny dress, you need to choose an appropriate suit for the groom, an outfit for the witness, and even the decoration of the hall and the festive table. The entire surroundings should complement, and not contrast with, the appearance of the bride.
Black wedding dress - stylish, elegant, noble
Even though the first image that comes to mind when thinking about a wedding is a bride in white, the black color of a bride's wedding dress is no less traditional. Yes, the fashion for a white wedding dress was gradually introduced by crowned heads (Queen of France Anne of Brittany in the 15th century, Scottish Princess Elizabeth Stuart in the 17th century, the second wife of Napoleon I Bonaparte Marie-Louise of Austria, Queen Victoria of England and the last Empress of France Eugenie de Montijo in the 19th century), while less wealthy girls chose practical black. The exception is Venice in the 17th century: before black became the color of mourning, rich ladies walked down the aisle in black, interpreting it as a symbol of grace and nobility.
Today, designers are destroying existing stereotypes about the elitism of a white wedding dress and delighting us with original styles of black dresses. Vera Wang, Reem Acra from year to year, Zuhair Murad, Roberto Cavalli, Oscar de la Renta, Marchesa, Leah da Gloria periodically return to black, be it a plain dress, white trim or a stylish accessory.
Recent shows from Bridal Fashion Week in New York are further proof that the choice of color does not depend on the bride’s adherence to the goth subculture. The models are royally luxurious, and each attracts the attention of those present along with their snow-white silhouettes.
At the same time, the combination of black with any other color looks impressive: it’s a pleasure to look at black lace on peach or admire the win-win (classic) combination of black and white or black and gold.
The black color is so universal that almost any jewelry will suit this dress, among which the most popular are pearls, diamonds, Swarovski crystals, natural precious and semi-precious stones of rich colors (emerald, sapphire, ruby, garnet, turquoise, coral, agate, jasper , lapis lazuli, onyx, etc.). Thus, New York Bridal Week 2017 began with the presentation of a collection of black wedding dresses from Reem Acra, encrusted with pearls from Tiffany&Co.
Black in Asia symbolizes knowledge. Those who watched the TV series “Kamenskaya”, based on detective stories by A. Marinina, will remember that the main character, the clever Nastya, chose to go to the registry office in a black dress. Do you think it's a coincidence? 
In color therapy, it is generally accepted that black stimulates self-confidence. Psychologists say that black color is chosen by leaders, those who like to control and know how to keep secrets, including about their personal lives, as well as perfectionists.
Such famous personalities as Marilyn Monroe, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tina Turner, Ellen Pompeo, Shenae Grimes, Avril Lovin also decided to emphasize their individuality on their wedding day. Look at the happy faces of the newlyweds - the stereotype about the mournful overtones of black color is no longer relevant.
In our opinion, it doesn’t matter what color dress you will feel special in. On your wedding day, there are two of you and you are happy, and if you want something black, do not deny yourself this pleasure!
Makeup and hairstyle for the outfit
The light and unobtrusive makeup of a beautiful bride will be in perfect harmony with a shiny dress. Saturated tones highlight only one area of the face, for example, lips or eyes. Avoid putting too much glitter eyeshadow on your eyelids. It’s better to highlight the line under the eyebrows with one light shining light stroke, and use pastel colors for the eyelids.
The hairstyle should correspond not so much to the fabric as to the style of the dress. But in any case, you can decorate your hair with gold or silver ribbons, or weave pearls into your hair. Also, curls that should stand out can be lightly sprinkled with glitter.
