Rules

A wedding ceremony is not a fashion show where you need to sparkle with luxury and show your outer beauty, but a mysterious union of the souls and lives of a young couple. Therefore, it would be most appropriate to wear a simple, modest attire:

• immediately exclude a bright color palette from the image
• Knees should not be visible from under the hem
• Cutouts, bare arms and shoulders and an abundance of jewelry are unacceptable
• Do not take additional accessories with you in the form of handbags
• the head must be covered with something

And now let’s take a closer look at what you shouldn’t wear to a wedding.

Color

It should be noted that multi-colored bright colors, such as purple, blue or other colors, are simply unacceptable for such a celebration. Father simply does not accept this. It is also worth excluding dark colors. When purchasing, give preference to white or pastel colors.

A simple sky blue dress, as shown in the photo, which personifies the purity of the soul, would also be an excellent option. This color goes well with blonde hair of girls. Women also like to choose cream and pinkish shades.

Everything about red is very confusing, since on the one hand it is very aggressive and extravagant, but on the other hand, this is exactly what a wedding sundress was like several centuries ago. In this case, it is best to ask the priest if he will approve of this color.

Length

There are very strict rules about length, so a short skirt above the knees is simply not acceptable for church. In such an outfit you may simply not be allowed into a holy place.
Midi length models and floor-length maxi variations are welcome. It is more convenient to wear models whose length rises 2-4 cm above the floor. After all, in this situation, you definitely won’t step on the hem. And in principle, moving around will become much more comfortable.

Style

In fact, everything is simpler with the style, since the main thing is minimalism and modesty. No need for provocative cutouts, flashy trim or bare arms. For wedding attire, brides prefer straight, flowing models that demonstrate the modesty of the soul through appearance.

Curvy models

Many people dream of the fluffy dresses they saw in fairy tales about princesses. But, firstly, it is better to save this dress for a wedding, and secondly, it is not suitable for everyone. For example, overweight girls will only emphasize their shortcomings, while short girls may simply get lost in the abundance of fabrics and decorations. And the temple is not the place where you should show off like on a podium. It is better to choose a calmer and more versatile A-line silhouette.

A-line

The product is suitable for absolutely everyone. It visually makes you look slimmer and taller. As is already clear from the name, the cut resembles the letter A, that is, it widens downwards. Lace looks very good with an A-line silhouette.

With a train

The options with a train are amazingly beautiful. Luxury and elegance are the main companions of this model, which is why this style can often be seen on royal brides. However, you need to be very careful with the train, because it can become a nuisance to everyone standing behind you. And also if you are getting married in an Orthodox church, then this may be inappropriate in this situation. Since the train is an attribute of Catholics.

Dress transformer

An interesting choice of outfit for a celebration would be a transformable dress. Thanks to this wardrobe item, you can save a lot of money. Since this dress can be used both in the temple to dress the bride, and for a wedding celebration in some restaurant. And if the transformer is in a fairly discreet style, then it can be useful in everyday life.

"Fish" or "Mermaid"

“Rusalka” and “Fish” are, one might say, in limbo in the fashion world. Either they become popular all over the world, or they are quickly forgotten. And all because of their features. Very narrow on top and widening from the knees to the floor, they emphasize all the imperfections of the figure. You should also be careful when choosing such a wedding dress for your wedding. Some priests may not approve of it due to excessive vulgarity.

Empire style

Empire style is a universal style that will never become outdated in the fashion world. Elegant, but at the same time modest attire looks great on almost any figure. Only extra pounds around the waist can spoil the appearance a little. And guests may think that the reason for the wedding was a sudden pregnancy. To avoid such rumors, you can throw a large stole over the top.

Accessories

The head must be covered with some kind of scarf, veil or stole. This is a mandatory condition for all girls who are in the temple. Also refrain from unnecessary accessories, such as metal bracelets or decorative rings, during the church ceremony. The maximum that is allowed for an image is jewelry made from natural materials, such as wood. However, they should be very elegant and inconspicuous and not spoil the appearance.

Materials

Be very careful when choosing fabrics for wedding clothes, as too much pomp can simply lead to a terrible situation. Don't forget that there are a lot of candles in the church. Excellent materials for the product would be chiffon, silk, satin and velvet.

Atlas

Velvet

Fatin

Lace

Organza

Silk

Shoes

This is not a rule, but just advice. You will have to stand in one place for a very long time, which means practical, comfortable shoes will be just right. No need to suffer in heels.

Makeup

It is advisable that the girl should not wear makeup or should avoid bright colors in her makeup. A prerequisite for this type of makeup is not painted lips. Since you will need to kiss the crucifix of Jesus Christ and the image, and the remaining lipstick mark will definitely not please anyone.

Hairstyle

Since the hair will be covered with a headdress, it is best not to do voluminous hairstyles. Natural curls with fresh flowers woven into them look very impressive in combination with a simple dress style.

Complementing the image

A wedding outfit will not become a complete look without additional elements in the form of shoes, capes on the shoulders and head.

Shoes

Avoid high heels, because in church you will have to stand in one place for a long time. Choose shoes with small, stable heels and comfortable soles that match the color of your dress.

Bolero

A cape on a dress that completely covers the shoulders and a third of the sleeves. Decorated with lace or satin ribbon, it is an exquisite addition to the bride's image.

On your head

You cannot enter church with your head uncovered, so it is important to choose a headdress for a special event.

Veil

A classic option to complement a bride's dress. It is sewn from translucent fabric or mesh, decorated with lace or beads. Can be short, medium length or floor length.

Cape

Design of the shoulder area, sleeveless. Can be secured with a button or ties and is made of thin lace material.

Handkerchief

An elegant addition to your look. Modern designers offer various options for using a scarf in a wedding look.

Gloves

You can cover your bare hands and add rigor and sophistication to your look with the help of gloves, which can be made of satin or thin lace.

Jewelry

In the Orthodox tradition, unmarried women did not have the right to wear gold and used silver jewelry. A beautiful option for jewelry for a wedding ceremony are earrings and a necklace made of pearls.

Makeup

Makeup for a wedding ceremony must be treated with caution. Bright lips and eyeliner are prohibited, use nude makeup

Folk signs

Such a spiritual and sacred moment in the life of every person, of course, is fraught with many signs. True, now they are usually observed only by believers:

• Wedding clothes should be new. Only one or two fittings are allowed upon purchase.
• Some of the decor should be given to you by someone close to you. This could be a ribbon or thread. It is this piece from another person that will allow you, in the event of trouble, to ask him for help.
• Wedding clothes should be only yours, which means no one should put them on or touch them except you. Otherwise, happiness will be divided among everyone who wore it.
• The stronger the material, the closer the relationship between the bride and her mother-in-law will be.
• You cannot choose models with a detachable top or bottom.
• The groom should not see the bride before the ceremony

Wedding of a married couple

If you ask: “Is it possible for a married couple to get married?” Then, of course, the answer to this will be “Yes”. It doesn’t matter what age the couple is, married or not. Anyone can perform a ceremony in a church.

But there are still some differences in the celebration. For example, a woman and a man wear less formal clothing than newlyweds. Therefore, a wife can take an old wedding dress for a wedding, and there will be nothing shameful or bad about it. The husband, according to custom, dresses either in a suit or a light shirt and trousers.

Rules of conduct during a ceremony in an Orthodox church

Unorthodox Christians get married in addition to registering the relationship at the registry office to show strong intentions to live a long married life. Young people look at church rituals as a fashionable trend or an extraordinary act. Unchurched young people should know the rules of behavior in church during the ceremony:

• don't talk;
• don't laugh;
• do not leave your place;
• Do not be distracted by guests or clothes.

If the bride and groom do not say prayers or do not pray silently, then they should calmly listen to the liturgy, showing respect for the ancient tradition. Best men and guests must also maintain order and silence in the church. Young people raised in the traditions of Orthodoxy, and those who independently came to faith, understand the meaning of a wedding. This is the sacrament of uniting souls with the offering of prayer to the Lord for the well-being and health of the new family.

It is important for young people to fervently and humbly pray for grace for themselves and their children

Pregnant

Just like being married at the time of the wedding, pregnancy will not become an obstacle to the celebration. But the difficulty lies in choosing a wedding dress, especially if these are the last months of pregnancy.

An important detail is that pregnant women should not wear a white wedding dress. Since white is the color denoting the bride’s virginity.

Materials for a wedding dress need stretch for greater comfort. If this is an early period, then the tummy can be completely hidden with empire or high-waisted styles.

Full

Sometimes it is very difficult to choose the right outfit for such a non-standard physique. However, there are models that will not only almost completely hide your shortcomings, but also emphasize your advantages.

Look in the store catalog for A-line models, universal Greek or empire style. With an hourglass figure, mermaid dresses look very interesting. Also a very important element are the sleeves, which should not be voluminous, because they will only make you look fat.

Drapery, folds and other similar decor will only make the image heavier. Choose wedding dress materials for plus size people that are less shiny and without lace.

For an older woman

It is increasingly happening that women are getting married after thirty or more. And there is nothing wrong with this; on the contrary, such a conscious marriage, a union, will most likely be much stronger than fleeting early love. However, for such weddings there are some features in wedding clothing:

• A modest wedding dress should not be white. This color can highlight what you would like to hide. Therefore, it is better to give preference to golden or cream shades.
• Choose options with a cape or bolero to hide imperfections behind the fabric.
• It is better to wear comfortable shoes than elegant ones.
• The image should be elegant and simple. Leave fluffy skirts and ruffles and bows to twenty-year-old girls

Wedding photography: features

• Discuss your outfits and the outfits of your guests in advance with the photographer, if everyone adheres to the same style. This will make it easier for a professional to decide on lighting and other organizational issues. Plain clothes in calm colors look best; if exotic shades of jewelry are planned, it is better to inform about this in advance.
• Do not wear too bright makeup, give preference to daytime makeup. It’s better if a professional stylist helps you with your look and hairstyle.
• If one of the guests does not want to be in the frame, you should also inform the photographer about this in advance. It is better to find out in advance at the temple about the possibility of taking wedding photographs.

Wedding photographer: Anna Danilova

The main recommendation that newlyweds can receive: behave calmly and naturally. Can be done before or after the Sacrament, where you will pose (optional). Sometimes the photographer already knows what poses are best to stand in and even where to direct his gaze in order to get a beautiful photograph, but posing during the Sacrament of Wedding itself is not worth it. Oddly enough, the best shots are often taken precisely at the moment when people have no idea that they are being filmed. Your sincere smiles and mutual tenderness will be visible in the photographs.

Choose “your” dress

There are several ways to choose clothes for any occasion. For example, you can rent a dress, in a salon or have it made to order, or maybe you just choose a single option for the entire celebration (both for the wedding and for the wedding). And, of course, everything has its pros and cons.

For example, rental will cost you much less than a full purchase, and you don’t need to worry about finding storage space, since you will need to give it back after the ceremony. However, not every salon can offer the dress for a church wedding that is right for you. And many people don’t like the fact that it is already worn.

If you choose the option with a salon, then, firstly, it is very tedious - after all, how many stores will you have to go around, and secondly, there is no guarantee that you will even find that very option. But he will forever remain with you with all the emotions and memories you experienced.

And the last thing is custom tailoring. Very expensive, but definitely worth it. After all, it will be only yours, no one will wear it before or after the celebration except the hostess.

Choosing a wedding dress for a church wedding

Wedding dress for a wedding - from tradition to modernity

Consciously deciding on a wedding ceremony, the bride respects the canons of the church and fulfills the requirements for clothing. But this does not mean at all that for civil and church ceremonies it will be necessary to purchase two dresses. One is enough, the length of which should cover the knees.

Church traditions come to us from time immemorial and the best wedding dresses from famous weddings are even exhibited in museums. For example, a golden dress for the wedding of Princess Alexandra Feodorovna, who was married to Nicholas II in 1894. The princess was dressed in a magnificent dress of gold brocade, with a full skirt, with open shoulders, her veil covered her head in a luxurious diamond tiara, her shoulders were covered with an ermine mantle lined with gold brocade. On the second day of the wedding, Alexandra Feodorovna wore a white, also rather open, outfit. This is how the artists Repin and Toussaint captured her, the first in a golden dress, the second in white.

But this wedding is rather an exception than a rule: two dresses, although there were no registry offices then, both dresses were corseted, according to the fashion of that time, and quite open.

Wedding dress: rules take care of the bride

In fact, a wedding in a church does not involve a bare head, jewelry and bare shoulders and arms. The Church expects modesty and dignity from the bride, therefore, if the veil is not intended to hide the head and shoulders, it is better to wear a beautiful lace scarf, stole or cape. And if the dress is sleeveless, gloves can help the bride out. As for whether the dress should be narrow or fluffy, this will depend solely on the characteristics of the bride’s figure. If she is slim and thin, why not wear a dress with a full skirt? If the bride is of a heavier build, a straight or slightly flared dress will flatter her figure.

Wedding dress: options

1. Satin white dress with a fitted bodice and flared floor-length skirt, sleeveless, open shoulders + lace white bolero with a hood, covering the arms, shoulders and head.
2. Guipure pale lilac A-line dress, “neckline”, long sleeves, widened downwards, the open back is covered with a stole made of the same fabric as the dress, the face and hair are hidden by a veil.
3. Beige dress with a fitted silhouette, slightly below the knee length, three-quarter sleeves, boat neckline.
4. A pale pink chiffon wedding dress in a mermaid silhouette with long guipure sleeves, a sweetheart neckline hidden by a scarf placed on the head, falling over the shoulders and décolleté.
5. A long pearl-gray sleeveless dress with a loose fit from the yoke under the bust. The veil hides a moderate neckline and hair. Long white gloves are put on his hands.

All fashionable silhouettes are presented in the above list of dresses suitable for a wedding, but each bride may have her own unique option. She just has to take into account that dark and variegated colors are inappropriate in a church. Since the bride will have to be on her feet for a long time on this day, it is better to choose shoes without heels. There can be two pairs of shoes: one for registration and wedding, the other for evening celebrations.

Wedding dress - unostentatious modesty?

The dress is only part of the look

On the wedding day, the bride will have to limit herself to using cosmetics to a minimum and pay attention to the fact that everything described above invites her to be modest. Guipure and lace are just small “deviations” from the image of a complete prude

But images of a vamp woman are absolutely excluded.

The same goes for hairstyles. If the wedding takes place on the same day as the registration, the bride will have to plan for this and transform her hairstyle into the most modest one for the church.

Modern girls know how to demonstrate their beauty: translucent multi-layered fabrics will hide everything unnecessary, but will certainly hint to the groom that grace and ease are hidden under lace and satin...

Tips for choosing a dress

Nowadays it is very difficult to choose from the entire mass of assortment the dress that will warm your soul, even when it lies in the closet, in a box. So here are some tips to help you:

• You can buy a simple, inexpensive dress, and then add some decorations to it yourself or in a studio, for example, lace or satin ribbons.
• Don’t think that clothes bought for a wedding are disposable. You can make a choice towards practicality, thanks to which the garment will later be suitable for everyday wear, as shown in the photo.
• If the celebration is scheduled for the summer, then the material of the clothing should be light. Cotton and linen are ideal fabrics for a hot day. Great summer colors include soft mint or light green and sky blue.
• For winter, choose practical, dense materials such as velvet or drape. You can also use various capes and boleros for insulation. And all because the temples are quite cool in winter.
• Orthodox wedding dresses should be mostly simple and comfortable. Try to convey the state of your soul through it, since in church you will appear before God and his assistants.
• Experiment with decoration. Modest does not mean ugly!

Pay attention to even minor details that can ruin the image. Also, do not forget that the groom’s suit must match the bride, either in color and style, or in some decorative item.

Ideas for the photographer

Wedding is one of the ceremonies that is so loved by photographers.

Love can be explained by several indicators:

1. Natural light - all cathedrals are dominated by bright light that comes from the windows. Previously, temples were built in such a way that they received as much sunlight as possible. This, in turn, allows the photographer to avoid using flash. And even without it, rich photographs are obtained, regardless of the time of year.
2. Location - no need to figure out how to hide imperfections on the walls in a restaurant or shabby stairs in the registry office. Everything in the temple is as light, beautiful and bright as possible. The decoration of the cathedral itself can be considered both as a whole and individually as a real work of art.
3. The atmosphere - nothing compares to the mystery and attractiveness that is in any temple. Rituals of this kind amaze with their inner strength and energy. And the photographs just smell divine.

In order for young people to like the work of a photographer, it is always necessary to have several proven and effective photographs in stock. It is worth mentioning right away that young people will not be allowed to pose, so you should not involve them in the shooting process. Despite this, you can come up with some interesting ideas.

1. An overview photo card - it can be taken in a temple with a large vault. Ask the priest to climb to the highest point of the temple. During the ceremony, you will take a photograph, taking into the lens the bride and groom, the priest, and the temple itself. It will seem as if you are spying on what is happening from above.
2. Each stage of the wedding is beautiful in itself, so you don’t have to invent anything. Be sure to take photos next to the priest who reads the prayers. The cards also look impressive during the engagement of the bride and groom.
3. Don’t forget about taking a photo together; you can take it after leaving the church. You should all line up on the stairs of the temple and take a beautiful photo against the general background, which will remain with everyone for a long time.
