To Glove or Not to Gloves

Many brides like the look of wearing traditional,  full bridal gloves with their wedding gown. But many of my brides write, what to do with the gloves and WHEN?

What do I do when it is time to place the ring on my finger?

Before the ceremony, "slit the seams" on the ring finger of your glove. Then just push the material back when it is time for him to place the ring on your finger and wa-la, you are ready for the big moment. After the ring has reached its intended destination, pull the fabric back over your finger.


This same approach can also be used to show your rings off to your guests. If you desire to have a non-slit glove on your left hand after the ceremony, purchase an extra pair and have someone hand them to you when the recessional ends.


The second alternative is to take your gloves off during the ceremony and hand them to your honor attendant. Then, at a predetermined point in the ceremony, she can hand them back to you. Let me warn you though, that trying to get gloves on and off when you are nervous can be a bit awkward, especially if they are long (and you don't want this to look like a strip tease at the altar.).


Ask your clergy if you can remove and then place your glove back on when your back is to your guests.


Do I wear my gloves during the receiving line?
YES - by all means do so. They are a part of your wedding attire.


Do I wear my gloves while eating?
NO - and that includes the cutting of the cake also.


Do I wear my gloves during the rest of the reception?
YES! If you like. However, many brides do remove their gloves as the festivities wear on.


Fingerless Gloves

If any of this glove etiquette has you uncertain, a great alternative is to choose fingerless gloves. They are available in many different styles your groom can easily slip on your wedding ring during the ceremony. At the reception, you can keep your gloves on during dinner and cake cutting too. There is no need to remove your gloves.


So, To Glove or Not to Glove need no longer be an issue. Just remember the rules and you’ll be fine. Gloves worn with your wedding attire can add grace and elegance to any bridal ensemble.
