Dress code on a pirate wedding
The clothes of the bride and groom who arrange a pirate wedding, of course, should be thematic. Remember how the corsairs were dressed in movies and cartoons you know. The idea of their outfits can be taken from the cinema. The bridegroom, most likely, will choose for himself black trousers on suspenders, high leather boots, a white shirt in pirate style and a hat (or bandana). The color scale of the groom's costume will be black and white. The novelty, on the contrary, can choose not only the traditional white color, but also the bright red one. The bride's dress should be decorated with various accessories, reminding that the wedding is still a pirate. Better is a short wedding dress. But brides who do not follow the traditional path can dress up in the groom's shoes: black trousers, a white shirt, a scarf around the neck, hair that has been wrinkled by the sea-light.
Of course, the dress code was invented not only for the groom and the bride, but also for the guests. If guests know about the wedding in advance, they will be ready and pick up a more or less traditional pirate order. Ideas for a dress can be watched in the same cartoons and movies. Men can wear black breeches and high boots, a white shirt, a vest, a vest, a bandage over their eyes, a bandana of black color, and also decorate the neck with a thematic plaque. Women also have a greater choice of outfits - from copies of men's pianistic suits to dresses with a thematic bias. It is also possible to choose as an outfit a light summer dress or a sarafan, creating an image of "decent ladies" who were abducted by corsairs and found themselves in their logos completely accidentally.
