Few brides complement their wedding look with wedding gloves. And that’s sad because bridal gloves look wonderful and add a lot of charm to a bride. Besides, there is such a wide variety of gloves you can use – white and black lace gloves, fingerless gloves, middle finger gloves, satin gloves, white leather gloves, etc. This accessory is almost as sophisticated and fancy as a wedding veil. And like the veil, you can wear gloves not for the whole wedding day but just for the ceremony and wedding photoshoot, taking them off for the reception.
