Customize and Embellish Your Wedding Dress by Bride Chic
About Bride Chic
I've found that while brides are searching for new ways to economize these days they still want to keep that 'chic factor' going... As a result, more are opting for the simple budget-consciouswedding dress then taking it to the dressmaker or designer to get it personally customized. So how is customizing your wedding dress different than a custom made gown? A custom gown is made from scratch, that is, you and the designer working with a pattern and raw cuts of fabric to create it from the ground up.
Customizing a ready-made dress is different. It involves remodeling and/or embellishing one already put together. Once your simple dress is delivered, consider adding a detachable train to the waist and heirloom lace to the bodice. Those two details if integrated right would make the dress ideal, distinctively yours. Customized! Start with a Simple, Unadorned Wedding Dress
Below are a few great wedding dresses that would make ideal candidates for customization. Think about what embellishment you might add... Ruffle details for a romantic look, a silk gauze train that floats when a breeze comes by? An overskirt of tulle, or an embellished bridal belt? The possibilities are endless! Customize Your Dress with Lace, Rosettes, a Train, or Tulle
In the last photo, you'll find a few inspirations for customizing your wedding dress. From left to right...
- This lace over blouse is a beautiful addition to a straplesssheath style wedding dress. While lace is expensive, with the right designer, a little bit can go a long way!
- This gorgeous shoulder swag of pink rosettes suddenly turns the strapless bodice into an asymmetrical neckline!
- I customized this white wedding dress, and it was a pleasure! The gown is a simple sheath with criss-cross straps in back. I added a silk organza train dappled in rose petals and silk florals. Have you considered buying a more simple, budget-friendly wedding dress, and then making it your own with lovely embellishments? If so, let us know in the comment section below!
