Badajoz women DO know how to dress for a wedding (Part II), Badajoz
We continue with last week's wedding special.
Unfortunately, dusk soon fell, which always makes photos difficult, but the beauty of the Misses compensated for all technical problems.
In this post we have the honor of featuring the bride, who had the good taste to avoid a meringue-like look (like a meringue, of course) and opt for an elegant and simple dress. No excesses, neither in the dress nor in the hairstyle, and that always helps you get it right. She also didn't forget comfort, and the top layer could be conveniently removed to leave a younger and more comfortable dress, since being able to do without the train after a certain time at night is appreciated.
These three beautiful companions perfectly exemplify how to wear a shawl at such an illustrious event. I would say, never the same color as the dress. It's an accessory, not a camouflage layer, so it's better to look for it in a tone/pattern that looks good with the dress. A simple recommendation is, don't wear it in photos. The shawl serves its purpose very well in church and during cool moments, but in photos it covers the dress and it's difficult to tie it gracefully without it looking odd. Let's avoid unnecessary risks; over one shoulder, on the elbow, bunched up in your hand, however you want, but better not crossed and tied tight on the chest, because then you get these little lapels over the shoulders that make you curse the day you decided to wear one.
