Who to choose to this role?
Bride's girlfriend is considered its main support and support on the day of the celebration. To overcome excitement and fully enjoy the atmosphere of the holiday, newlyweds need to choose the right to choose a helper, which will take part not only in preparation for the ceremony, but also solve many other organizational troubles. Therefore, the witness must be responsible and assembled.
To date, in fashion, to invite several assistants to the wedding, which distribute duties among themselves, thereby resolving all the questions faster and more efficiently. But in this case it is necessary to remember that the helpers are girls, and they can be offended and arguing. As a result, a cheerful celebration will turn into solid disassembly. Therefore, it is best to choose one reliable girlfriend. A good option for this may be a sister (optionally native) or one of the relatives of the groom (its choice will help strengthen future related ties).
It is impossible to refuse the candidacy of the witness only because she has an unstable financial situation and it is not able to acquire a decent gift to the newlyweds and an outfit for a wedding. This feature is not an indicator for selection. It is important to suggest this role, it will independently find a way out of the situation.
If the bride was a witness from his loved ones, it does not mean that she is obliged to choose to choose by assistants. According to traditions, the girlfriend must be unmarried, so the resentment is inappropriate here. In addition, the witness is best to select the rust and physique of the bride, so that its appearance has harmonized with the image. It is advisable to give preference to girls with a sense of humor and organizational abilities. It should be a tireless beauty that would not just sit in the corner, but actively participated in contests and dance.
You should not take a girl in the witness if she:
- Married. Of course, in many Western countries, the lady's status does not play a special role, but still it is customary not to take blood married relatives, divorced women and widows as a friend. This is considered a bad admission.
- Forgetting and nonpunctual feature. Since the witness is the right hand of the bride, it cannot be late and delay the ceremonial events with ridiculous actions. The permanent scattleness of the girlfriend can end that young will remain without wedding glasses, and guests will not be able to find their places at the table.
- Endowed with excessive self-confidence. At the wedding, the main "star" should be only the bride, but if the witness was accustomed to being always in the center of attention, then she will not work. The image of the bride cannot eclipse with another shine.
In addition, the testimonists need to take into account the following signs.
- According to an old belief, the bride's girlfriend should wear outfit in green, pink, blue and golden shade. At the same time, at least one of the numerous accessories should be green. So beauty will be able to quickly find a loving husband.
- We can visit the evidence of no more than two times, since the third is considered unsuccessful. If the girl does not take into account, then it may have to wait for her marriage for a long time. It is advisable to choose an assistant from distant relatives younger than the bride.
The image of girlfriend bride
The bride's girlfriend should look great, but at the same time not too dramatically stand out against the background of the conviction of the celebration. Therefore, picking up the outfit for the witness, as well as creating its image, it is important to take into account a number of nuances.
- Color design. The dress can be lavender, golden, blue or green shade. It is impossible that the girlfriend put on the outfit in white and dark colors, for example, a black and snow-white dress is unacceptable. Beautifully will also look at robes in pastel and beige shades.
- Famosis features. Since the girlfriend is usually ordered, then it is necessary to choose a beautiful and stylish cut, which would be harmoniously combined with the robe of the bride. At the same time, it is impossible to unwanted the choice on creating an image in a business or strict style, you can not choose a dress with a deep neckline, as it will give the image of vulgarity. A good choice will be the outfit of the usual cut without a lush skirt with light asymmetry. As for the length, it can be different - mini, dresses in the floor or model to the knees.
- Textile. As a rule, for sewing a bride girlfriend dresses choose chiffon, atlas or satin. If the witnesses at the wedding are several, then their outfits are made in one color and stylistics using the material, the same by texture.
- Convenience. Since the evidence will have to spend a lot of time in various entertainment and dance, its outfit must be not close, comfortable and not limit movements. Best for this, transformers are suitable for this or simple styles.
In the image of the evidence, you need to carefully think about makeup, hairstyle and correctly select the appropriate accessories. Everything should be harmonized with the overall style of the celebration. Since the girlfriend will need actively and move a lot, she needs to acquire comfortable shoes, replacing a high heel on the wedge. It also does not hurt to have a spare pair of shoes. As for accessories, bracelets, hairpins and a small handbag must be the perfect addition to alongside.
If several witnesses are invited to the wedding, then the design of their image should be considered more responsibly. To make girlfriends perfectly look in photos, their outfits need to sew a single style of the same tissue, giving preference to one color. At the same time, it is also necessary to draw attention to the color of the hair and skin of the girls, their shapes. An interesting decision will be the sewing of dresses in one stone, but in different colors, it will give the wedding a game of bright colors. Combine all girls in a single image will help bouquets, ribbons or belts of the same shade.
It will be unusual to look at the celebration and girls, in the image of which there is a "Ombre" effect. That is, each girlfriend will have to wear out the outfit of one color, but different shades, for example, smooth transitions from turquoise to blue dew or bright fuchsia to delicate roses. Several bridesmaids can also be combined into one stylist with a print dresses. If the design of the celebration is allowed to use outfits with patterns, then you can choose beautiful dresses with a cage, geometric ornament, peas and flowers.
For all girls, the wedding is considered not only a celebration, but also to shine beauty. Therefore, making the image of the witness, the bride must take into account its personal wishes. In the case when the girlfriends are different and some of them have lush forms, then they do not need to sew the same outfits. It is necessary to choose original styles that are specially emphasized by the beauty of each girl. For example, you can prefer long dresses, decoration in the Greek style or column dresses.
In addition, the image of the girlfriend will depend on the time of year. In the summer it is best to wear dresses in bright and juicy shades, in the fall - in saturated and warm colors, in the winter - in the contrasting colors, and in the summer - in a light and middle palette. The most important thing is that the outfit evidence suggests the image of the bride itself and the wedding style.
What to give newlyweds?
Wedding is considered the happiest event in the life of young people, so the bride's friend must not only take care of their image, cope with all organizational issues, but also to present the original gift to the newlyweds. It must be unusual and remind of himself for a long time, so traditional sets of dishes or bed linen, which usually give relatives, are excluded in this case. So, a pleasant and unexpected gift can be a photo album, its design can be independently invented and made under the order. A good solution will be photo archive, decorated in the form of a wooden chest with drawers.
An excellent gift will be a certificate for visiting the beauty salon or a famous restaurant in the city for two. Now also in fashion gifts in the form of equipment, so if the bride has dreamed of a new gadget or little things from the Hi-Tech series, then such a purchase is valued for advantage. If financial capabilities allow, the witness can give a young smartphone, an e-book or laptop. An excellent gift will be a symbolic souvenir that is suitable for both the bride and the groom.
