About Gloves to Wear for the Ceremony*
Have you decided on the gloves to match your wedding dress yet?
Gloves serve the purpose of not exposing the bride's skin too much in the sacred ceremony and,
the act of removing the gloves before exchanging rings symbolizes "I now belong to you,"
making them a very important coordination item.*
While it's okay not to wear them for a civil ceremony, they are a must for Christian ceremonies.
As for wedding gloves,
some brides instantly decide, "I'll go with this one!"
While others find themselves troubled by questions like, "Lace? Satin? Which material is better?" "How long should they be?" "How do they look?"
It seems that quite a few brides end up becoming "glove lost," just like being "dress lost!"
Indeed, there are many things to ponder...
Indeed, gloves are divided into three lengths: short, medium, and long;
they come in five-finger or fingerless types,
and you also need to match the material and embellishments with the atmosphere of the wedding dress, which adds to the difficulty of making a decision.*
It's pretty tough to decide alone without any advice...!
If you're unsure, trying them on is best, but in this article, we will explain the characteristics of each type of glove.
[Length ①] What are the characteristics of Short Gloves?
Short gloves are the most popular length chosen by brides.*
They're about wrist-length, leaning towards a more casual and cute vibe.
Since they are short, they pair perfectly with off-shoulder or sleeved dress designs.*
[Length ②] What are the characteristics of Medium Gloves?
Medium-length gloves are those that cover the lower part of the elbow, just below it.*
They are not too long or too short, allowing for a balanced look that is not too formal or too casual.
They also have the effect of making the arms look slimmer, so they are recommended for brides who are a bit concerned about their arm size.*
[Length ③] What are the characteristics of Long Gloves?
Long gloves, which are longer than the elbow, are the most traditional and formal type.*
The longer they are, the more solemn the impression they give, so long gloves are mainstream for brides wanting a classic look.♩
They look great with the classic strapless dress.*
[Material ①] What are the characteristics of Satin Gloves?
The classic material for wedding gloves is definitely satin.*
It provides a polished look by adequately covering the skin, making it a material that stands out even in grand, formal churches.
Satin also has stretch to it when bending the arms, which is an added feature.*
[Material ②] What are the characteristics of Organza Gloves?
Wedding gloves made of organza are translucent, giving a light and airy impression.*
It's best to avoid using them for solemn ceremonies in cathedrals, but they are perfect for brighter, cheerful church settings.♡
It’s also nice that wedding rings and bridal nails are visible.
