The Image of the Ukrainian Bride in 2022: Trends and Inspiration

As you know, beau­ty will save the world. Despite dif­fi­cult life cir­cum­stances, every bride has the right to be the most beau­ti­ful on her impor­tant day, and we will help you with this! Chan­fash­ion will tell you about the main trends of this spe­cial wed­ding sea­son and inspire you with ideas for wed­ding dress­es, make­up and hair­styles for wed­dings 2022.

General trends

Before mov­ing on to spe­cif­ic advice on choos­ing a dress and make­up for a wed­ding in the stormy year of 2022, let’s define the main trends.

Smart consumption

Lav­ish pompous wed­dings, dia­mond jew­el­ry and roy­al dress­es are best post­poned this year. First, it is an inap­pro­pri­ate expen­di­ture of your bud­get. It is dif­fi­cult to pre­dict now how much the Ukrain­ian econ­o­my will be stormed now and after the end of hos­til­i­ties. There­fore, it is bet­ter to save the mon­ey saved for an airbag. Should we hand over to the Armed Forces and vol­un­teers for help 🙂 Sec­ond­ly, such large-scale events are now not only inap­pro­pri­ate, but also dan­ger­ous.

It is bet­ter to pay atten­tion to min­i­mal­ist styles of dress­es. This year’s trend for white sum­mer dress­es and sun­dress­es will come in handy, because even in mass mar­kets and Ukrain­ian show­rooms you can find many options that will cost much less than wed­ding dress­es.

Dis­counts and char­i­ty sales from wed­ding salons will help you save mon­ey — fol­low them on social net­works so you don’t miss out on great prices. Or you can orga­nize a hunt on OLX 🙂

Minimalism

Min­i­mal­ism in the image of the bride is a log­i­cal con­tin­u­a­tion of the past trend. But min­i­mal­ist does not mean ugly or sim­ple. Believe me, you can cre­ate an incred­i­bly ele­gant and sophis­ti­cat­ed image using clas­sic straight styles of dress­es, sim­ple and neat hair­styles and unob­tru­sive acces­sories.

Instead of frills, sequins and lush skirts, addi­tion­al atten­tion was paid to the sil­hou­ette and tex­ture of the dress. Be care­ful, the result may pleas­ant­ly sur­prise you 🙂

More­over, such an out­fit will look more appro­pri­ate at a cham­ber cel­e­bra­tion or a wed­ding for two, and will also be able to serve you for evening out­ings and after X‑day.

Naturalness

The trend for nat­ur­al make-up and a fresh image of the bride remains in the top for more than the first sea­son. Final­ly, styl­ists use tech­niques and meth­ods that only empha­size the nat­ur­al beau­ty of girls (well, they mask a lit­tle lack of sleep and fatigue from wed­ding prepa­ra­tions), and do not change their appear­ance to the point of doll-like unrec­og­niz­abil­i­ty.

Ukrainian motifs

Pat­terns, styles and fea­tures of eth­nic out­fits dear to our hearts now inspire design­ers all over the world! Proud of their her­itage and cul­ture, Ukrain­ian women are also more like­ly to use eth­nic codes both in every­day clothes and in wed­ding attire. We do not encour­age you to com­plete­ly repro­duce the nation­al wed­ding clothes — although it looks incred­i­bly cool! — but why not add a few char­ac­ter­is­tic touch­es to the image?

Be inspired by embroi­dery and tra­di­tion­al pat­terns, add a belt, zgards, beads or even a mas­sive orna­ment with Cos­sack his­to­ry — a dukach. Such ele­ments will add a spe­cial high­light to the image of the bride.

Eth­nic­i­ty is not only about clothes and acces­sories. You can add Ukrain­ian motifs to your image of the bride by using cer­tain flow­ers in a bou­quet or wreath. For exam­ple, sun­flow­ers will empha­size the cheer­ful­ness and bright­ness of your char­ac­ter, peri­win­kle is suit­able for frag­ile and roman­tic girls, and red pop­pies will become a cool accent for a more seduc­tive image.

Wedding dress 2022

They become an unequiv­o­cal favorite min­i­mal­ist wed­ding dress­es. Sim­ple sil­hou­ettes, lack of bright decor and exquis­ite ele­gance of the dress will focus atten­tion on you, not fluffy ruf­fles or arti­fi­cial stones. It is impor­tant to choose a style that will suc­cess­ful­ly empha­size your fig­ure. For exam­ple, girls with broad shoul­ders should not choose options with thin straps, and own­ers of a thin waist — it is a sin to hide it behind volu­mi­nous folds. The dress should fit per­fect­ly, because any flaw in the cut will be notice­able.

Midi wed­ding dress will be an excel­lent choice both for a cham­ber wed­ding and for paint­ing at the reg­istry office. This length gives even more oppor­tu­ni­ties to style the dress with shoes and acces­sories: you can cre­ate the image of a frag­ile princess by choos­ing ele­gant heels, or a real rebel in heavy boots and a leather jack­et. Asym­me­try, an open back or unusu­al sleeves can add a high­light to the cut of the dress.

Mini dress for wed­ding — usu­al­ly, the choice of brave brides, which has now become more rel­e­vant than ever. Hon­est­ly, we see sol­id advan­tages: you can show off your gor­geous legs, you will save mon­ey, and there will be a great dress for the par­ty in hon­or of our vic­to­ry! Acces­sories can make the look fes­tive: a con­trast­ing long veil, a neat veil or a roy­al train will come in handy. And even with­out expres­sive acces­sories, a mini wed­ding dress will look bold and styl­ish.

Do you remem­ber that this year’s trends are on the side of Ukrain­ian brides? 🙂 Sum­mer linen white dress­es and suits with skirts for every taste and wal­let can now be found in any mass mar­ket. Such an image will be very airy, sum­mery and com­fort­able. And, what is impor­tant, it will be much cheap­er than an out­fit from a wed­ding salon, and will sim­pli­fy the choice if you do not have a lot of time and resources for plan­ning the cer­e­mo­ny and your own image.

And of course, Ukrain­ian brides are incred­i­bly beau­ti­ful, even when instead of a white dress, the out­fit serves mil­i­tary uni­form. Because love always wins, espe­cial­ly when it wears the uni­form of the Armed Forces!

Hairstyles for brides

Neat curls — where with­out them! A sim­ple but ele­gant hair­style that will become a uni­ver­sal choice when you are lost among oth­er options 🙂

Ide­al neat bun­dle remains a clas­sic addi­tion to the ele­gant image of the bride and will be a won­der­ful pair to a min­i­mal­ist wed­ding dress. In order for the image to be bal­anced, make sure that such neat­ness is pre­served in all the details of the out­fit.

Also, the actu­al wed­ding hair­style remains a lit­tle messy, untidy bunch. It gives the image of the bride nat­u­ral­ness and relax­ation, makes the look soft­er and more roman­tic than the clas­sic ver­sion of the hair­style.

Adding some tra­di­tion­al motifs to the wed­ding image will help braids and weav­ing. Both clas­sic braids and com­plex braid­ed hair­styles, sup­ple­ment­ed with acces­sories, rib­bons and flow­ers, look great.

A trend that will not leave us for a long time in sum­mer wed­dings — flow­ers in hair­styles and wreaths. Nat­u­ral­ness, light­ness and romance — what else is need­ed for a per­fect wed­ding hair­style?

Wedding makeup 2022

The best choice this sea­son is a nat­ur­al and unob­tru­sive make-up that will empha­size your nat­ur­al beau­ty and will not over­bur­den your skin. Give pref­er­ence to pink and beige shades of shad­ows, nat­ur­al blush and lip col­or. Pay atten­tion to your col­or type, so that make­up helps to give your face fresh­ness and inner glow.

In the sum­mer, we advise you to aban­don abun­dant con­tour­ing and “clogged” tone, which cre­ates the effect of a mask on the face.

If you want to add a bright accent, red lip­stick or a col­ored arrow will help with this.
