At the wedding celebration, the bride most of all attracts her, it is her outfit that is the main decoration of the holiday. White wedding dress is a classic version of the bride's attire. But in Russia the wedding dress became white only two centuries ago, and before that each bride was wearing a Russian folk wedding dress.
Russian national wedding dress
Wedding dresses in Russian national style were worn by brides until the 19th century. Simple girls, peasant women, married in the same outfits, as well as girls from the noble family. The difference was only in the value of the material, from which the dresses were sewn and how they were decorated. In brides from the nobility, the dress was made of expensive fabrics and decorated exclusively with precious stones.
During the wedding, the bride in Russia changed her clothes several times. Dresses changed to:
- Engagement.
- Hen-party.
- Wedding.
- Feast.
The outfits differed and the bride herself had to sew them. The wedding attire of the bride included a shirt with a skirt and a sarafan. The outfit was adorned with an accessory that was unusual for modern girls - a winding - a cervical decoration. To the winding was attached a lot of bright ribbons, which developed behind the girl's back. Instead of a veil, a kokoshnik was used at that time. At the wedding of the bride dressed exclusively red wedding dresses .
Wedding dress in Russian style
Today, wedding dresses from Russian designers are increasingly wearing national motifs. This is due to the fact that the Russian style in clothes is now extremely popular. But wedding dresses in primordially Russian style are extremely rare. Since not many girls decide on such an original wedding attire. Most often, some elements are used from the Slavic wedding dress:
- embroidery;
- specific cut (wedding dress in the form of a sarafan in the national style).
Dress in national style is an excellent solution for pregnant women and girls with magnificent shapes. He will hide the rounded stomach, while the image will be gentle, reflecting the whole essence of the Russian woman.
But the main element of the wedding dress in the Slavic style, perhaps, are fur. Fur can decorate the cloak on the wedding dress. If the wedding will be held in the cold season, it will be not only beautiful, but also practical. In warm weather, it will also be appropriate. Luxurious fur is perfectly combined with fine fabrics. This combination was often found in boyar attire.
