What Kind of Bridal Gloves Should I Wear?
Choose any kind of gloves you like to wear, based on looks alone. You can also consider the material and borrow an element from your dress, such as lace, satin, pearls, beadwork, or rhinestones. Some brides opt to wear short gloves if they aren’t looking to add any length or cover their arms.
Others add long gloves to be as sleeves with their wedding dress for style or to add a layer of warmth in fall and winter months.
How to Wear Gloves with Wedding Etiquette
If you are wearing gloves on your wedding day, you may be wondering the proper etiquette of when to wear them and when they should be removed.
When to Wear Your Gloves
You should put on your bridal gloves before the ceremony and have them on for bridal portraits if you’d like.
• If you are wearing fingerless gloves, you can keep them on throughout the duration of the ceremony.
• If you are wearing gloves with fingers, remove them during the wedding ceremony right before you recite your vows. You can slip them off and hand them to your Maid of Honor to hold until after the ceremony.
• If you’d like to wear the gloves in your Grand Exit photos, slip them on again just after you exchange vows. Then, they’ll be ready to wear down the aisle with your new spouse… MARRIED! :)
When to Remove Gloves
You can remove your gloves after the ceremony if you’ll be more comfortable at the wedding reception without them on. Put them in your wedding bag for safekeeping.
If you like them, keep them on as long as you’d like! It’s your wedding day and goes by quickly, so why not get the most use out of your bridal accessories? When they look as beautiful as these pairs, we don’t blame you for wanting to wear them all day. :)
