Marriage is practically the most important event for every girl; pregnant brides perceive it especially excitedly. Indeed, for pregnant girls, the task of choosing a wedding dress becomes even more difficult. Fortunately, almost any good salon has catalogs that feature wedding dresses for pregnant women that hide the belly or neatly emphasize the interesting position of the bride. But finding a wedding dress for a pregnant girl is not the whole task; you also need to choose it correctly so as not to look awkward on the most important day.
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.
What to wear with a wedding dress for a pregnant bride
It is impossible to create a charming image without the use of accessories and additional elements, as well as the right shoes.
Today, a veil has ceased to be a mandatory accessory for a bride. But still, many girls add it to their image. The main requirement when choosing this element is its harmonious combination with the dress. The presence of embroidery of the same type as the embroidery on the dress is welcome.
If desired, the veil can be replaced with an elegant hat with a mesh, a tiara, a wreath or other beautiful hair decoration. The hairstyle must fully correspond to the image. Hair can be neatly gathered or loose with a curl.
As for jewelry, bulky jewelry is not recommended for a pregnant bride. You can add a neat chain with a pendant or delicate pearl beads, earrings and a thin bracelet. It is not advisable to use rings, since during pregnancy, most girls' hands, in particular their fingers, swell. Therefore, the presence of rings on the evening of the celebration may begin to cause discomfort to the bride.
Important! Expectant mothers should not wear stocking garters, as they can compress the legs, impairing blood circulation.
Stockings can be replaced with special nylon tights for pregnant women without seams and a tightening effect. In the summer, you can completely exclude this element.
In the cool autumn or winter seasons, the bride can complement her outfit with a shortened bolero or cape, which can be made of the same fabric as the dress itself, or made of lace or fur.
In summer, in hot weather, a fan can be an original addition, which will be useful to a pregnant bride not only as an accessory, but also as a useful item that cools the face in the heat.
It is impossible for a bride to do without the main wedding accessory – a bouquet. A delicate wedding dress for a pregnant woman can be complemented by an equally delicate bouquet collected from light flowers. Or you can create contrast and choose a brighter bouquet; red flowers are especially popular.
The beauty of the bouquet, of course, should come first, but special attention should also be paid to the weight. The bouquet should not be heavy, otherwise it will be difficult for the bride to walk with it all day.
Choosing shoes is also not an easy task. It is necessary to choose a model so that it elegantly complements the entire image, but at the same time does not bring discomfort while walking.
It is important to give preference to models without heels, since wearing heels during pregnancy is extremely undesirable. If the image suggests their presence, then you should choose a model with a small (up to 3-5 cm) stable heel or platform.
In most cases, pregnant brides are still recommended to give preference to shoes with solid soles. For example, it is best to wear ballet flats or closed shoes under a silk dress. They can be decorated with rhinestones, beads, beads and other decorative elements. A decorative strap is welcome.
You can wear open sandals under a dress made of flowing fabric such as chiffon.
Some pregnant brides don’t try to follow stereotypes at all and wear white or rhinestone-decorated sneakers under their dresses.
In winter, you should also give preference to high or medium-length boots with a solid platform or the original UGG boots, which are quite popular today.
Advice! Some wedding planners recommend that pregnant brides purchase two pairs of shoes. One - for the ceremonial part, the second, more convenient - for the rest of the celebration.
Color scheme - what you should pay attention to
White wedding bow, like a classic of the genre. Is it necessary to buy pure white decoration?
The classics do not leave the leading position, but girls who do not want to follow established stereotypes choose brighter variations.
White wedding decoration visually makes its owner look fatter. This means that it will be more difficult for a pregnant bride wearing a white bow to hide her rounded belly. Stylists recommend that they stick to pastel colors.
The most well chosen colors:
- beige;
- light gray;
- cream;
- light blue;
- lilac;
- pale pink;
- turquoise.
It is not at all necessary to choose a plain dress; it can have spectacular embroidery or a print.
In rare cases, young people prefer:
- blue outfit;
- emerald;
- yellow;
- scarlet.
Dressing in these colors is a risky decision. Not every betrothed will be able to wear them, but there are girls who want to look extraordinary, bold, and very colorful at the main celebration of life.
Shiny ones are also popular. Almost every fashion designer has such products in their collections.
Dress length
The length of the wedding dress also plays a significant role in the choice, but this does not mean that you should limit yourself only to long models. Like any formal attire, a wedding dress for a pregnant girl can have different lengths, the choice of which depends solely on the preferences of the bride herself.
Short wedding dresses for pregnant women
Models of short wedding dresses are very popular among girls, they are especially relevant in the summer. For a pregnant woman, choosing such an outfit is not considered bad taste; on the contrary, thanks to the short length of the skirt, the bride will be able to feel comfortable without getting confused by a wide and long hem.
Short, tight-fitting dresses can be chosen by brides whose belly has not yet rounded in the first trimester. In the second trimester, when the belly begins to appear, you should give preference to short A-line models, but in the later stages, experts recommend giving preference to short versions of wedding dresses for pregnant women in the Greek style.
Long wedding dresses for pregnant women
Long dresses are still relevant and in most cases it is the maxi length that pregnant brides try to choose. There are a considerable number of styles of such floor-length formal dresses. Depending on the stage of pregnancy, a girl may give preference to curvy models with a bodice and a high waist.
Important! When choosing a model with a corsage, the bodice should not fit tightly around the waist, and when choosing a corset, it should not be pulled tight.
A long dress can be in the Greek style, straight tailoring or a-line. With a clearly defined waistline or with a smooth transition. Particular attention should be paid to options with a train, namely removable ones. It will add grace at the moment of the ceremonial part. Afterwards, you can disconnect it to comfortably accept congratulations.
Maternity dresses for medium length weddings
The average length of a wedding dress for a pregnant girl is like a golden mean. Firstly, a long skirt will not interfere with the bride’s movement. Secondly, there will be no worries about a too short skirt.
Attention! The average length of the dress requires the presence of high-heeled shoes, so it is advisable to give preference to a stable small heel, since stiletto heels are strictly prohibited from being worn in position.
Accessories and their role in creating an image
Selecting decor is no less important a process than choosing the dress itself. Here you need to be especially careful. Accessories, or rather an excess of them, can overload the bow, which is undesirable. After all, they are designed to add elegance and romanticism to the image. Massive bracelets, beads or necklaces should be avoided altogether.
A worthy alternative in this regard is a simple chain with a beautiful pendant.
Another image can be supplemented:
- Hairstyle. A correctly selected stylish hairstyle with decorative hairpins, hairpins, bows, flowers will perfectly complement the overall picture of the look. The stylist will tell you exactly what to use and what hairstyle to choose if it’s difficult to do it yourself.
- Veil. If earlier it was considered as an obligatory attribute of the young, today the situation has changed dramatically. The veil is now very often replaced with all kinds of decorations - decorative voluminous hairpins, a hat, wreaths for the entire head.
- A bouquet. A bouquet, unlike a veil, is considered an integral attribute. And girls getting married take his choice very seriously. It can have different shapes, colors and sizes. When choosing a bouquet, you need to make sure that it is not too heavy and voluminous. It will be difficult to go through the whole day with him.
- Pantyhose. This accessory is optional. In the summer, few people choose them. In winter - almost everything. During pregnancy, you need to purchase those that do not have seams on either the leg or the stomach. As for color, it is better to give preference to pastel matte colors.
By following these recommendations, it will be a little easier for you to navigate the huge assortment. You can go the other way and use the services of an experienced stylist. He will select everything correctly and clearly.
Rules for choosing beautiful wedding dresses for pregnant women
Every bride, despite her interesting situation, wants to look perfect on her wedding day. Even in late pregnancy, today you can choose a dress taking into account your body type, since the range is quite wide. But when choosing, you still need to consider the following:
- Time to buy. Purchasing a wedding dress is always first on the wedding preparation list, so many brides try to purchase an outfit 1-2 months before the cherished date. But during pregnancy, the purchase and fitting will still have to be postponed until the very last moment, because the figure of the expectant mother changes significantly and very quickly.
- Comfortable style. One of the most important factors influencing the choice is wearing comfort. The outfit should be comfortable, not tight or restrict movement. It is advisable to choose a looser style and it is better to give preference to breathable natural fabrics.
- High-quality cut and tailoring. It is also important to look at the quality of the dress; it should not contain rough chafing seams, distortions or other defects.
What should it be?
A miniskirt is definitely inappropriate within the walls of a church: the hem should at least cover the knees. Many brides choose a floor-length dress - this is the most chaste and very beautiful option, emphasizing the tender femininity of the bride and the overall sacredness of the moment. This length suits almost everyone, except, perhaps, short, plump girls. It is better for them to take a closer look at a shorter skirt - to mid-calf.
As for the train, this magnificent element, firstly, is quite inconvenient. There will be witnesses with crowns standing behind you, who may accidentally step on the delicate fabric. If you really want a beautiful dress with a train, then choose a model with a removable accessory that is attached with hooks, buttons or ties. Secondly, remember, this train is an attribute of the bride at a Catholic wedding, so if you are getting married in an Orthodox church, it may seem inappropriate, although the church does not directly prohibit trains.
Dress style may vary. Exceptionally revealing outfits are not suitable - with a deep neckline, open back, shoulders or arms, too tight or shiny.
It is better to choose a modest A-line, Empire, Greek style. It is better to avoid overly fluffy skirts with hoops, but petticoats are quite acceptable.
The decor should be modest but elegant - lace, hand embroidery, beads.
The material of the dress may also vary . Delicate silk, shining satin, and royal velvet are also suitable. Lighter, airier options - organza, chiffon, tulle - are also possible, but make sure that the dress is not overly fluffy. There are a lot of candles in the church, and synthetic materials catch fire easily.
If the wedding is scheduled for the same day as the official registration, where you would like to wear a more open dress, then transformable models with a detachable full skirt, as well as shawls or capes that cover the shoulders, will come to the rescue during the wedding.
The color of the outfit, contrary to popular belief, does not have to be pure white. Moreover, canonically this option is allowed only to innocent girls, although now this rule is no longer so zealously observed.
If you want to adhere to traditions and rules, then pay attention to delicate undertones - ivory, champagne, cream, and other soft variations of white. Any other light shades are also allowed - pink, blue, golden, green, lilac. It is important that the color is not too bright or dark. In any case, you will have to refuse dark chocolate or purple, but otherwise there is complete freedom of choice.
