A wedding is perhaps one of the most important events in a person’s life. This is an important step, radically changing life, connecting two loving hearts into a single whole - a family.

Very exciting for both the newlyweds and their loved ones, relatives and invitees. Every detail, every minute of celebration is thought through, aimed at arranging the happiness of the young. In a word, wedding! Signs and customs on this solemn day become especially relevant. Their goal is to protect those getting married from failures in marital happiness and to preserve love for many years to come. Of course, not everyone believes in wedding omens (what can and cannot be done on this significant day); many are skeptical about them and consider them prejudices, but their knowledge has never harmed anyone.

Signs before the wedding

Wedding signs for the bride say that a wedding on a new moon means a happy new life, on a waxing moon - on a rapid increase in money capital, on a full moon - life will be like a full cup. If you get married during the waning moon, then all troubles and sorrows will go away.

Spouses are advised to choose their own bed linen, because intimate life is a private matter, not a public one.
You cannot present towels and handkerchiefs, so as not to condemn the newlyweds to tears and sadness.
Icons can only be given by the closest people: parents, grandmothers, godparents, because it is with such a valuable gift that the energy of the family is partially transferred into the hands of the young. If one of the invitees decided to make such a present, then the icon must first be consecrated in the church.
You also cannot give antiques that retain the energy of their previous owners. After all, they will influence the young family in their own way, and such influence may not always be good.

When is the wedding?

The optimal days for weddings and paintings are Saturday and Sunday. By the way, Americans prefer Monday for such events. In terms of time frames, the second half of the day is most successful.
Getting married in May means a lot of toil.
Previously, weddings had never taken place on the days of fasting: the Great, Rozhdestvensky, Uspensky and Petrov fasts. Christmastide (from the Nativity of Christ - January 7 - to Epiphany - January 20) was also not recommended for marriage.

If a storm breaks out during the wedding, it will be a disaster.
If on a special day for the newlyweds it strikes severe frost, then a boy will be born first - strong and healthy.

Asos Dresses

Let's face it, a wedding is a celebration of only one person, namely the bride. She had been preparing this event for several months, adapting herself to the very thing perfect dress, argued with the organizers and looked for the most beautiful place for the celebration. It would be, to put it mildly, impolite for you to show up to her celebration in bright yellow when you were asked for turquoise. Even if you hate turquoise with every fiber of your being, be kind and respect the bride. It will count for you at your own wedding.

This rule has a slight relaxation: if the bride is not your close friend, and you are at the wedding as a distant relative or accompanying someone, then the dress code stated in the invitation can, in principle, not be followed. In any case, do not go to extremes: if the invitation indicates discreet colors, and you show up in a red dress, you will share the attention with the bride.

Don't wear white

So Easy fringed dress; Asos pink dress.

Any white clothing at a wedding is prohibited. Just deal with it. Boho and crochet, babydoll, wrap dresses or jumpsuits, tuxedos or pantsuits. If white is the main color in your image, then consider that in front of all the guests you spat on the bride, if not on her soul, then on her dress. Want to light colors? Please! Color palette does not revolve around just white: cream, lemon, beige, pearl.

By the way, even if the bride is not in a white dress, but in a gray-brown-raspberry jumpsuit, you still should not wear clothes white. The associative sequence “wedding-bride-groom-white” may work in the head of some tipsy distant relative of the newlyweds who has never seen the bride before, and now you are forced to kiss the groom while shouting “Bitter!” It will be awkward.

Forget about jeans for this day

Suit Asos; Osome2Some top and pants.

It is believed that jeans are such a universal thing that you can wear them to the theater, to pick up firewood, to work, or to a holiday. Undoubtedly. But not for a wedding! By the way, the rule also applies to men, so at least try to persuade your companion to change into trousers.

Of course, there are various fantasy weddings where you can go naked, but if we are talking about a celebration that the bride has been preparing from the moment the ring was put on her finger (or even longer), then leave the jeans at home. Does your whole being protest against dresses and skirts? Pants and a nice jacket will help you.

Black dress is not taboo

Charlie Off Shoulder Dress; polka dot dress 12storeez.

Today black dress quite acceptable at a celebration such as a wedding. The main thing is to choose the right length so that no one compares you to the witch Maleficent, who ruined the birthday of the beautiful Aurora. So, a flat floor-length dress is not suitable, nor is a provocative mini, but a discreet knee-length dress with a string of pearls, a beautiful clutch, and shoes (maybe in a bright color) is an image that will fit into the holiday. Another option is a black dress with some beautiful print. After all, people get married not only in summer, but also in winter. And in the cold season clothes dark shades It will look much more harmonious.

Avoid animal prints

Red dress in 12Storeez colors; Asos striped dress.

If you've ever been to a wedding, you've probably seen the groom's cheerful second cousin in a smart blouse covered with leopard spots. As a rule, an active relative plays along with the toastmaster in every possible way and approaches the young guests, conspiratorially offering to kidnap the bride. Don't do that! And we're not just talking about obsessive behavior. Zebra, leopard and tiger are not in bad taste, these prints look great in, but at a wedding, animal spots and stripes are inappropriate even in the format of a scarf around the neck. Choose other patterns: geometry, floral prints, stars.

Emphasized sexuality is unacceptable

Foine Line wrap dress; floor-length dress Mallorca.

Weddings in Russia are famous for crazy antics and traditional fights against the backdrop of the setting sun, but no one has canceled the rules of decency (at least at the beginning of the holiday). Revealing dresses and weddings are incompatible concepts. Even if you want to wear the latest creation from Atelier Versace, famous for its provocative dresses, say goodbye to that dream. Simplicity and modesty - your motto. The dress and skirt do not necessarily have to cover the knees, but an extreme mini is unacceptable; the situation is the same with the neckline. No one requires you to wear a tightly buttoned blouse, but if the cut is rapidly “moving” towards the navel, it is better to choose something less provocative.

A wedding is an important and exciting event in people's lives. As a rule, young people preparing for a wedding celebration, as well as their parents, worry about various reasons: “Will everything go well?”, “Will they be happy in marriage?” etc. In this regard, when preparing and holding the celebration, they try to observe all traditions, take into account all the little details, paying attention Special attention to the existing signs so that the married life of the young will be immensely happy and long.

For example, some believe that wearing pearls at a wedding will bring sadness and tears to the newlywed, and the marriage will not last long. To support this, superstitious people cite many stories with sad endings.

At the same time, people who believe in the power of shimmering spheres to bring happiness, joy and love are ready to cite as examples of no less stories with a happy ending.

elegant patterns incorporating precious and semi-precious stones or painting.

In addition to glasses and attire, brides decorate their hair with pearls. Even a modest string of pearls or a small tiara will complete the look without requiring additional accessories. Stylists highlight several hairstyle options that harmonize better with pearls than others.

Hair collected in a shell at the back of the head combines beautifully with mother-of-pearl pearls. In this case, hairpins and hairpins with beads are ideal.
