Gloves & ring

[frenchie]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE gloves.
And I want to wear gloves at my wedding. What are you supposed to do about the ring though?

Has anyone here worn gloves or know what to do? When are you supposed to remove the glove? Put it back on? Or do you keep the gloves off afterwards?

my friend wore the gloves that just go around your middle finger, so you can still wear your ring.

i found this:

Step One

Look for gloves that complement, rather than overwhelm, your dress. For instance, pair simple gloves with fancy dresses (http://www.ehow.com/how_3973_wear-gloves-during.html#) or fancy gloves with simple dresses.
2
Step Two

Match the color of your gloves to your wedding dress - for example, ivory on ivory or white on white.

3
Step Three

Choose the glove length, determined by the number of buttons, based on the type of dress worn. For instance, both the 6-button glove, which ends just below the elbow, and the 8-button glove, which reaches the elbow, look best with a short-sleeved gown; the 16-button glove, also known as the opera-length glove, extends to the upper arm and accents a sleeveless or strapless gown (http://www.ehow.com/how_3973_wear-gloves-during.html#). Forgo gloves when donning a long-sleeved dress, or else wear wrist-length gloves.

Step Four

Slit the seam of a long glove at the underside of the ring finger to be able to slip your finger out during the ceremonial ring exchange - resew the seam after the wedding. If you opt for shorter wrist-length gloves, you can simply remove the glove and hand it to a bridal attendant.

5
Step Five

Slip your now beautifully adorned finger discreetly back in your glove, or if you took off the glove completely, leave it off for the remainder of the ceremony.

6
Step Six

Put your gloves back on if you have taken them off for any reason, and wear them for your formal photographs.

7
Step Seven

Keep your gloves off while you're eating and drinking.

I'm not a very big fan of fingerless - but I like your tips for using a full glove, thanks :)

I wore regular, opera length gloves (not fingerless). After the officiant gave the introduction there was a bit of a natural break in the ceremony. At that time, I removed them and my DH (FH at that moment) put them in his pocket. I did not put them back on until after the ceremony for some posed pics and of course, our reception entrance. I adored them and they really added that extra touch of class, IMO.
