For the wedding celebration to be unforgettable, the outfits of the bride and groom must be perfect and unusual. Recently, the use of accessories with a bright shade or small identical additions to the images of the newlyweds has been very popular. Let's analyze how best to decorate a wedding dress with beads, rhinestones, belts, lace or jewelry. Watch a master class on sewing a satin belt for a bride's dress with your own hands.
Ideas for the original decoration of wedding dresses
If the bride has chosen a classic plain dress for a wedding celebration, but wants to add something unusual to it, then both improvised, long-unused accessories and unusual purchased items can be suitable for this. If the purchase of large brooches with stones is not planned, then it is allowed to decorate the wedding dress with a satin belt, belt, beads or lace. Consider the most spectacular options.
Beaded
Small beads can complement both a corset and a skirt. Very popular options for wedding dresses that are fully embroidered with beads, they look chic and expensive. A lot of time is spent on such work, it is much easier to decorate only the contours of the dress, some layers of the skirt or the upper part. Gloves and veil embroidered with beads look original. Bright beads can easily refresh and decorate the image of the bride, but they should be combined in any accessories of the groom.
Belt or belt
Wedding dresses with a satin belt became popular in 2013, when many designers presented similar outfits in their collections. Such a belt can be both small and very large, it all depends on the wishes of the bride. According to an ancient sign, the wedding dress of the newlywed should not have other shades than white. If the bride follows these rules, then it is worth sewing a belt from such a satin ribbon or pastel-colored fabric.
Lace inserts
If the dress does not look very rich, it is easy to decorate it with lace inserts that will add sophistication and chic. Such additions can be both in front (in the neckline, shoulders, arms) and behind (on the back). Lace inserts are rarely made in the skirt part of the dress, unless such an outfit is lush, but smoothly fits around the waist (then this addition can emphasize the excesses of the figure). Lace on the sides is also used extremely rarely, since in these parts of the body it will be covered by hands.
Flowers
If you want to make an accent in some part of the dress, then you can sew or buy an interesting flower. It can be a large white fabric rose, ribbon alstroemeria, or even natural versions of chrysanthemums, violets, lilies. If fresh flowers are used for decoration, then they try to fix one end in a special tube with a nutrient liquid that will allow the plant not to fade. The shade of roses, lilies, etc. should be repeated in other elements of the wedding: hall decorations, invitations, bonbonnieres.
Jewelry inserts
Jewelry work always looks very gentle and elegant. Silver jewelry or options in light gold are suitable for decorating a white wedding dress. Products of a yellow shade are well combined with beige, peach tones. If such an addition is introduced into the dress, then the groom may have a similar decor (on a tie, bow tie, jacket pocket). At a wedding celebration, the more similar symbols the newlyweds have, the more organic the couple looks.
Brooches and jewelry
Small brooches can be the perfect complement to a corset. They are placed in the center at the waist or on the side of the bust (if a strong corset is used). It is better not to take heavy brooches for decoration, as they can easily fall off during dances or make it difficult for the bride to move. It is advisable to combine jewelry in an outfit with earrings, a necklace and a hair clip. Ideally, if such additions are from the same collection.
Master class on making a belt for a wedding dress
If it was decided to create a belt as a decoration for a wedding dress, then this issue must be approached with all seriousness. The material must be chosen the highest quality: satin, silk, poplin. In this case, dense interlining or other lining adhesive fabric can be used to thicken the fabric. Consider a step-by-step master class for creating the perfect belt for a wedding dress.
- For work, you need to prepare: 2-3 meters of high-quality fabric (up to 0.5 m wide), lining adhesive interlining, sharp scissors, automatic or manual sewing machine, threads of the appropriate color and size, needles, steam iron, a small piece of gauze or transparent material , stones or rhinestones.
- Cut off a piece of fabric 40 cm wide in the center and about 60 cm along the edges. The length of such a cut should be 2-3 meters, if desired. The belt will be very long, it is allowed to form a bow from it, the ends of which go down to the floor.
- We glue the inside of the resulting cut with an iron through transparent gauze with adhesive interlining. It is worth considering that it is better to make the edges of the belt at an angle so that it looks more beautiful. And for this, the fabric must be folded in half face to face and cut off obliquely (at an angle of 45 degrees). Similar actions should be performed on the other side.
- We fold the prepared belt face to face and sew along the edge, leaving a small hole in the center so that it is easy to turn the product inside out.
- Iron the belt along the seam to iron it out. We turn the product on the face, sew up the hole that remains with hand stitches.
- We iron the resulting belt with an iron with a transparent cloth, leaving a seam on one side of the product (this will be the wrong side).
- We try on the belt on the dress and see if it fits the product perfectly. We correct possible inaccuracies and errors.
- Along the edges of the belt, which are decorated obliquely, we lay adhesive rhinestones and glue them with an iron and gauze.
- In the place of the belt, where the bow will be, it is necessary to attach a brooch, which will be in the center of the future decoration.
- The belt is allowed to be sewn to the dress with a few stitches so that it does not slip or left so that the ends flutter in the wind.
