The day when dreams of love and creating a happy family come true. Therefore, the image of the bride is thought out very carefully and thoroughly. After all, she needs to look stunning for the groom and guests.

Models of wedding gloves
Every girl can choose the kind of gloves for her wedding that she will like and fit perfectly into her image.
For example, they can be long or short, cover the fingers or not, and also differ in materials and shape.
Wedding gloves that do not cover the fingers can be divided into several types.
Mitts are short wedding gloves made of thin lace material that cover the palm and part of the forearm.
There are also gloves that are attached with a loop to one of the fingers; this shape gives the image tenderness and special sophistication.
Short wedding gloves look especially good with shortened dresses, which are often the choice of brides in the summer. If you have a fluffy festive wedding dress with thin straps or short sleeves, you should opt for long wedding gloves.
Such an accessory will look amazing in wedding photos, and can also hide any imperfections in the bride’s hands.
If you have your eyes set on this type of gloves, do not forget to take them off before sitting down at the table, because it will be very disappointing to get dirty on such an important day.
How to do it yourself?
For needlewomen, it is not a problem to make an unusual and beautiful model - sewn, knitted, wicker. For those who have little experience, but want to create wedding gloves with their own hands, we can recommend two options:
- Decoration of finished products;
- Sewing from elastic lace.
The simplest sewing option is presented below in the form of training videos from Alena Pekur:
Mittens without loop
For fingerless gloves you will need:
- Elastic lace, the width of which corresponds to the desired length of the glove, and the length to two girths of the hand + a margin of 2-4 cm;
- Sewing thread of the appropriate color;
- Sewing machine;
- Scissors.
It is better to sew with a knitted or zigzag . Decorations and the way they are attached depend on the chosen design.
Sewing itself is the fastening of a “pipe” , which should tightly cover the hand from the base of the fingers (measurement is taken from the index or middle finger) to the wrist and/or beyond.
1. We wrap the lace around the hand and make marks for the oberz 2. Cut off two identical pieces 3. Make more precise markings (at the wrist the lace is wider than at the bottom of the glove)
Girls with narrow hands and wrists can simply sew an even rectangular piece of lace. Those who have different girths of the hand at the widest point and wrists should sew a conical “pipe” .
4. Cut off excess fabric and sew the edges on a machine 5. Try on the glove. Use a few stitches to join the fabric between the index finger and thumb.
As decoration you can use ribbon, rhinestones, artificial pearls (beads and half-beads), thermal stickers, beads, etc.
6. Decorate using satin ribbons 1-2 cm wide (length 20-25 cm) 8. Decorate the bow with a brooch and sew it to the gloves

In addition, an important role is played, for example, by the time of year in which your lucky date falls and weather conditions.
In the 21st century, the choice is too wide and sometimes brides, in the pre-wedding rush, simply get blindsided.
A little history
How did the tradition of wearing gloves at weddings come about? The history of its appearance goes back to ancient times. In the knightly era, gloves meant a lot to women.
When a knight chose the lady of his heart, he presented her with a pair of gloves as a gift, thereby showing his boundless love and the most serious intentions. If the chosen one returned the feelings, then she had to accept the gloves and wear them on the wedding day, this meant reciprocity.
Around the 18th century, almost all ladies, especially those of aristocratic origin, began to wear gloves. And such an accessory meant nobility and elegance, so it was worn both in everyday life and on special occasions.

Where would it be appropriate?
If you choose the right model and items to go with it, you can wear a lace sweater in any situation.
For work, you can purchase a lined lace jacket. This model is not intended for everyday wear. But if there is some kind of special event planned at the office, then such a jacket can decorate an ordinary office outfit. The jacket can be paired with classic trousers and a shirt or top. In addition, you can wear a sleeveless business-style dress with a jacket like this.
In everyday life, sweaters with lace inserts are often worn. Openwork cardigans and boleros fit well into street looks. The bottom of the ensemble can be almost anything. For example, a summer dress, a leather skirt or lightweight denim jeans.
A lace blouse is perfect to add a special charm to your evening dress. A bolero or cropped jacket can be worn with an off-the-shoulder evening dress. A set that includes a floor-length skirt and a lace top will look good.
Examples:
- Powder-colored classic trousers with arrows and a jacket with a lace yoke and sleeves with buttons will make an excellent ensemble. Additional elements: dark beige woven belt, pink and beige wide-brimmed hat, nude pumps. A bright accent is a lemon yellow bag.
- Monochrome look in white: cropped skinny trousers, silk top with thin straps, short Irish lace cardigan. We choose stiletto heels with open toes. You can complement your look with several bracelets made of artificial pearls.
- A pink and beige maxi skirt, flowing in soft folds, will look great with a tight-fitting cream-colored T-shirt and a snow-white cardigan crocheted with an openwork pattern. A cardigan without a fastener, we wear it wide open, securing it at the waist with a dark brown leather belt and woven leather gladiator sandals just above the ankle.
- We wear denim shorts with a white T-shirt and a loose cardigan with batwing sleeves. Accessories include brown sandals with cork wedges.
A lace blouse looks great and attracts attention. Therefore, such a thing will be a successful addition to your wardrobe. Choose a model that can highlight the advantages of your figure. It’s better to choose a classic color. Black, white or silver-gray sweater will perfectly complement any wardrobe.
Wedding gloves made of colored fabrics
This type of gloves is suitable for girls and women who like to look original and surprise others with every detail of their wardrobe.
Of course, traditionally, all wedding dresses should use exclusively light colors, such as white, peach, soft pink, or even eggshell.
But we live in the 21st century, you don’t have to be afraid of anything and choose bright or even flashy colors for your wedding.
Wearing etiquette
There are no strict rules regarding wearing signets, but it is worth remembering a few points:
- You should only put the ring on your bare finger, so at this moment it is important to remove such wedding jewelry or simply expose your ring finger.
- When greeting guests, receiving flowers, gifts, it is better to have accessories on hand.
- It is recommended to remove the decoration during the feast.
Wedding gloves complete the bride's look, protecting the delicate hands of the beautiful lady all day long.

Material, design, color scheme
If you decide to use gloves in your wedding dress, then try not to deviate from the overall image. The color should match the dress, but it is not necessary to strive for a complete match.
Sometimes a slightly different shade of gloves can add sophistication to an outfit. In some cases, a sharp contrast in color is acceptable. For example, if the dress has bright inserts, or other accessories are made in a color different from the dress.
When choosing fabric, you should strive to match the material of the dress as much as possible. However, it is worth remembering that the time of year should influence your choice. In summer it is better to give preference to light fabrics:
- chiffon,
- openwork,
- cotton,
- chintz.
In the cold season, when gloves not only decorate, but also protect your hands, choose jacquard, thick lace and taffeta.
You can choose a pair decorated with embroidery, pearls, beads, sparkles, and sequins. And if the choice fell on smooth gloves, do not hesitate to emphasize the elegance of your wrist with an original bracelet. The main thing is to remember that all the details of your image should be combined with each other.

Judging by what we saw in New York, many designers decided to devote their collections to dresses of simple silhouettes, among which every bride can find something suitable for her body type, but allowed themselves to experiment a little with the details. They paid most attention to the sleeves and showed them in all their variety - from voluminous lanterns and puffs to Victorian-style gigots, “butterfly wings”, “bells” and “tulips”.
Sports mitts
Sports place increased demands on the quality and performance of any training accessory. Reliability, convenience, strength - all these are the primary characteristics of what mittens should be like for boxing, tennis, gymnastics, and fitness. They protect the ligaments of the hands from stretching, and the skin from mechanical damage such as calluses and scratches. Sports products are made from breathable genuine leather, durable polyester, a protective layer of foam rubber, and elastic elements. The color scheme is varied: laconic black, colored inserts, camouflage print.
