TO GLOVE OR NOT TO GLOVE THAT IS THE QUESTION...With spring and summer fast approaching, many brides are desirous of wearing gloves with their wedding gowns. But alas, as many of my brides write, what to do with the gloves and WHEN?
Gloves with fingers: 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.
