Gloves add an elegant touch to your wedding ensemble. Choose a style and color that closely matches your wedding gown. Wrist length gloves look perfect, regardless of the length of your sleeve. Lace styles are particularly appropriate.

• If you choose longer gloves, split the seam on the ring finger. This way you can slip on your wedding band without removing the entire glove.

• If gloves are lined, you can easily remove them at the altar and hand them to your maid of honor. At the end of the ceremony, when she hands back your bouquet, the maid of honor can also help you replace your gloves for the recessional.

• Gloves are perfect accessories for bridesmaid dresses.

• If you're the bride or groom's mother, or a wedding guest, you too will look wonderful in gloves.

• Wear your gloves for the receiving line at the wedding reception, but remove them before eating.
