Empire style wedding dress

Fashion trends are usually returned. It happened with the style full of grace and nobility, whose name is Empire. The most vivid embodiment of the style found in the wedding fashion.

Appearing in the 18th century, the style of the Greek and Egyptian goddesses was distinguished by the division of proportions in the ratio of 1: 6. Later, the bodice of the dress became narrow, and the hem acquired an extension downwards.

The main focus of the dress has been and remains to this day the inflated waistline. It is decorated with bows, rhinestones, all sorts of beads and stylish belts.

Josephine Beauharnais, who became the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and the creator of the Empire style, could not even think about the changes made to the dress in the following years. If in the 18th century the shoulders of the beauties were decorated with sleeves-lanterns, then in the 20th century you can see the similarity of the straps on the dresses. The semi-fit silhouette of the neckline has become more narrow and frank.

Later, the Empire style began to find common notes with the style of antiquity. However, in the latter, draperies fell on the hem of the dress, while the Empire style differed in draped bodice.

A bride who has decided to shine in an empire dress in one of the important days in her life can be sure of the comfort of this dress. The absence of tight corsets and rings on the petticoat make this model almost weightless.

In addition to comfort, an empire dress can hide excess sentiments on the waist and hips. It gives a wide scope for the creativity of designers. Draperies on the bodice, bows and ties under the bust will find a response in the heart of the most fastidious bride.

The 21st century brought about changes in the dress of the young ladies of antiquity. Now the bodice can be closed with lace, have thin straps or just one shoulder strap, and a stripe, lined with rhinestones and stones, can fit around the neck.

In terms of length, variations are also possible. Designers of today's day offer classic floor length, ultra-midi length, and dresses, the hem of which reaches the knees.

Wedding dresses of antique style are popular among girls of different types of figures. And it is quite justified, because with their help you can hide the excess, add the missing volume, emphasize the chest. The main thing to choose a suitable model.

Features of antique dresses in accordance with the type of figure:

• with the type of figure “pear”, the fabric of the hem is selected light and flowing;
• with the “triangle” figure, the “one-shoulder” model will become the optimal cut;
• with a small chest, the dress is selected with drapery along the neckline or from textured shiny fabric.

In addition, the dress in the Empire style is a means to look stylish and fashionable, while waiting for the child. Light folds passing through the tummy of any gestational age will visually slim and make the figure more proportionate. Such a dress will not constrain, it will not be hot, and the child will not receive pressure from the outside.

This year, designers presented wedding dresses of a wide variety of colors. Empire style appeared in white, champagne and ayvor. Of course, it is these classical shades that identify the images of Greek nymphs. Such models are diluted with satin belts of saturated colors.

For extravagant brides, designers have created blue, pink, gray and mint dresses. These colors will give the bride not only a sense of their own irresistible, but also demonstrate a subtle extraordinary nature.

Regardless of fashion trends, the color of the dress should organically shade the bride's skin.So, the color of ayvor and champagne will suit both dark-skinned girls and brides with a bright tone of face. White color can be unprofitable to demonstrate the dark beauty and the bride with pale skin. Dresses of blue and blue colors are contraindicated to blonde with fair skin.

As materials for creating dresses in the Empire style, designers choose:

• silk;
• atlas;
• chiffon;
• organza.

It is these fabrics that differ in the natural play of glare on the folds of matter.

Silk is chosen for the hem styles freely falling down and forming soft folds. Silk begins to disintegrate into thousands of semitones and shades. This material looks gorgeous without too much decoration.

Chiffon dresses often become an option for summer weddings. This lightweight breathable fabric is embellished with pleating. The steps and the whiff of the wind give the dress a gentle, undulating wobble.

Most of the work on the decoration and dressing of the dress falls on the decollete zone. The bodice gives volume with drapery, ruffles and intricate patterns of fabric. The decoration of the bodice, as a rule, does not differ from the color of the dress, however, the threads are used gold or silver.

It is no secret that bridal shoes should be comfortable. Therefore, the absence or presence of a heel is an individual matter. It is worth saying that both shoes are compatible with the Empire style.

The perfect solution for this style will be the shoes to match the dress. They may have a high stiletto or small steady heel. At the same time, the toe of the shoes should be closed, because sandals, worn on white stockings, demonstrate lack of taste.

Empire style does not accept flashiness in jewelry. Hands can decorate gloves of different lengths depending on the sleeve of the dress.

Earrings and necklaces should not stand out from the general image. If the dress's bodice is devoid of additional decor, the necklace can be selected from semi-precious and precious stones. Dress with beads and rhinestones will complement the stylish pendant or strass of rhinestones.

One of the win-win combinations is the selection to dress in empire style tiara. The choice is important to stop on the model that fits the rest of the jewelry.

Bouquet for the bride - an important accessory image. For the style of the Empire style bouquets:

• cascade;
• ball;
• coupling

Empire style hairstyles are the elegance of natural curls. Spiral, tubular and other forms of curls are collected in unpretentious shells and decorated with free braids.

Loose hair is also used for wedding hairstyles of this style. They are placed on one side and use different hairpins, revealing the face area.

Makeup during antiquity was distinguished by its naturalness. Makeup artists and now do not deviate from this rule, creating an image in this style.

A stunning image can create a flared dress with a decorated bodice. Thanks to the textured patterns on the chest, such a model is suitable for slim owners of small breasts. A gentle multi-layered organza hem will give an airy look.

The modest and the same time graceful dress with a closed decollete will conquer brides who appreciate the simplicity of the lines. Delicate lace running along the chest line will demonstrate the delicate taste of the bride, and a small bow along the bottom edge of the bodice will place the necessary accents.

Silk dress will conquer lovers of luxury. A neckline with a V-neck and embroidery under the bust will complement the light look.

Girls in the position will please the dress on one shoulder with drape on the chest. Such a model will visually enlarge the breast, thereby giving the correct proportions to the body.

A dress of a delicate shade of Ivory with a satin belt under the breast is a choice for modern girls. Fashionable knee length will not only demonstrate the slimness of the legs, but also give ease and comfort on this momentous day. A spectacular hat completes the image.

Dress with a lace bodice on thin straps and a hem of shining satin will suit women of magnificent forms. Dense material will hide all the flaws of the waist and hips, and lace will emphasize the luxurious chest.

Tight-fitting dress with a train will demonstrate the subtlety of the silhouette. This dress does not need to be decorated, because all attention will be directed to the graceful curves. Straps in the form of threads from rhinestones will add grace to the image.
