At a wedding, any beauty wants to look unique and feminine. But what to do if it’s snowing outside the window and you have to spend a lot of time outdoors? Ideas for a bride's winter look are varied, but they all have one thing in common - a chic fur item. The portal www.svadebka.ws will reveal all the secrets on how to choose the right thing for the main celebration.
Types of fur coats for the bride
Wedding fashion and fur salons offer a wide selection of fur coats for the newlywed. They differ in the material from which the product is made, style and color.
Material
The most popular are fur coats made from natural fur. They look great and are of good quality, which will allow you to wear a fur coat in the future and after the wedding. Which fur should you choose?
- Rabbit . Snow-white fur will decorate a girl and warm her even in severe frost. It will add special shades of tenderness to the image.
- Mink is a more expensive and chic option. Soft mink fur will turn the bride into a sophisticated lady. But, it is worth considering that the peculiarity of mink coats is their high cost.
- Arctic fox . A fluffy fur coat made from an arctic fox looks amazingly beautiful and cozy. The bride will feel warm and comfortable in it.
- Mouton looks elegant, retains heat well and is quite inexpensive.
- Swan's down will make the bride's image truly light and airy. The only downside of such a fur coat is that it is too dressy for everyday wear. It is unlikely that I will be able to wear it in the future.
- Faux fur can also look quite harmonious in a bride's outfit. When purchasing, you should pay special attention to the quality of the material.
Styles
- Short style . Fur coats with stand-up collars and mozzettas are of interest. The first will bring noble notes to the image of the newlywed. A mozzetta with a hood and a clasp on the chest is more suitable for young brides, as it is a youth option.
- long from the middle of the thigh. This option is optimal for winter walks and photo shoots: it will be comfortable and warm.
Colors
The main palette of this fashion accessory is associated with various shades of white. There are fur coats for the bride in snow-white, milky, pearl and pistachio tones. Shades of light blue and caramel look especially elegant.
Faux fur wedding coats
Immediately after choosing a fur coat style, brides are faced with the following question: “Which fur is better - artificial or natural?” If the price category plays a significant role for you, then faux fur wedding coats would be an excellent solution.
This material has a number of advantages:
- Easy care. A modern bride's look should be “mobile”; if you accidentally stain your fur coat, you can quickly remove the stain.
- Eco-fur is a wear-resistant material. Replacing natural material with artificial material would be a good option for a bride’s fur coat. It retains heat almost as well as natural fur coats, is more wear-resistant and much more affordable. Faux fur coats for the bride are the most economical and easy-to-use wedding accessories! They are also suitable for those who really love animals and nature.
How to choose?
The choice of outerwear for a wedding will depend on many factors.
- Wedding season . A fur coat can be useful not only in winter, but in late autumn and early spring. The weather is often cold at this time. Based on the intensity of the frost, you can choose the appropriate type of fur. For severe cold weather, you should prefer products made from mink, mouton or arctic fox. In case of light frosts, you can get by with a light fur coat of swan's down.
- Dress style . You need to choose a fur coat to match your wedding dress, and not vice versa. They must be in perfect harmony with each other. So, for a dress style with a full skirt, it is better to choose a shortened version; For straight-cut models, a long style is ideal.
- Dress color . With a snow-white outfit, outerwear of the same color would be appropriate. A milky color scheme goes well with an ivory dress. Pale pink and pistachio tones also go well with this color.
- Convenience . When trying on a fur accessory, make sure that you feel comfortable in it. Outerwear for the bride should not be heavy and restrict movement.
- Budget . Unfortunately, when choosing, you also have to remember the financial side. The most expensive fur products are made from mink, while the more budget-friendly ones are made from mouton and rabbit.
