Skin-colored sheer fabric

In this wedding season, we advise you to emphasize the cutouts. But the neckline doesn't always have to be really opened. The skin-colored sheer fabric successfully creates the illusion of an open back or decollete. It, by the way, not only implements the cutout props but also gives the desired shape to the dress, helping it to fit the figure beautifully. The image is, of course, bold and extravagant.

Open shoulders

Wedding dresses with open shoulders add femininity and sophistication to any woman. Ladies in such dresses seem even more fragile, graceful and neat, so be sure to take a closer look at the dresses, opening the shoulders and beautiful neck.

Models with open shoulders can be straight and lush, with a minimum of decor or with an abundance of stones and lace - it all depends on your preferences and personal taste. The best solution would be to use large beads.

Beautiful open shoulders with slightly deflated sleeves - this detail will make the image elegant and refined. A wedding dress with open shoulders is suitable for women who prefer classic and romantic images.

How to choose the perfect jewelry

  • Wedding accessories should match the style and color of the wedding dress, as well as ideally emphasize the neckline of the wedding dress.
  • Jewelry (necklace, earrings, bracelet) should be in harmony with each other because buying a set of jewelry that will be made of the same material would be an excellent solution.
  • You should not put all the jewelry on the wedding at once: necklace, earrings, bracelet, rings, so as not to overload the wedding image. Prefer individual tandems, for example, earrings + necklaces. Besides, know the measure: do not wear a massive necklace at the same time with large earrings, not to overload the wedding image.
