HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR WEDDING GLOVES


Step1

Look for gloves that complement your dress.

Step2

Match the color of your gloves to your wedding dress.

Step3

Choose the glove length, determined by the number of buttons, based on the type of dress worn.

Step4

Slit the seam of a long glove at the underside of the ring finger to be able to slip your finger out during the ceremonial ring exchange - resew the seam after the wedding. If you opt for shorter wrist-length gloves, you can simply shift the glove and hand it to a bridal attendant.

Step5

Slip your now beautifully adorned finger carefully back in your glove, or if you took off the glove completely, leave it off for the remainder of the ceremony.

Step6

Put your gloves back on if you have taken them off for any reason, and wear them for your formal photographs.

Step7

Keep your gloves off while you're eating and drinking.



There are several types of wedding gloves. They are:



Fingerless -- Either long or short, fingerless gloves offer added convenience during the ring exchange, as your ring finger is already exposed..



Elbow -- ends just above the elbow





Wrist -- 'ordinary' gloves, covering the hand only





Gauntlet -- this long glove goes right down to the wrist, but doesn't cover the hand.
