Wedding Gloves
Gloves are a classic, vintage fashion accessory that are back in style. When paired with a wedding gown or suit, gloves add timeless elegance. Fingerless gloves are a good choice if you want to wear long gloves and do not want to take them off to exchange rings. Long gloves, sometimes called opera gloves, paired with a sleeveless or short sleeve gown are a timeless combination. Short or bracelet length gloves are prefect for morning or afternoon weddings. Short gloves are also easy to take off and hand to a bridesmaid during the exchange of rings. Decide ahead of time if you will be taking your gloves off when exchanging rings or if your ring will go over your gloves (be sure to test this before the ceremony!).

Barrettes or hair clips are other ways to attach a veil, make sure they are compatible with your planned hairstyle.

Romantic & Magical DIY Weddings
Gloves are a wonderful and fabulous accessory to your wedding ensemble. Make a statement with color or accent a classic look with white. However you use gloves, make sure to try on several pairs to find the size and fit that works for you. Gloves that are too tights will feel, and look, uncomfortable. Gloves that are too loose will also be noticeable, and if they are long, will sag. Vintage gloves are also an option. Family members may have kept meaningful pairs that they have worn. Or, look in thrift shops for vintage lace styles.
