Do you like the idea of a custom made wedding gown or brides maids gowns?

I wanted to rephrase my previous question so that no one thinks that Im trying to use yahoo answers to advertise. I just want to know if people like the idea or not. And please tell me if you have had a custom gown made or not and if you were happy or not. Thanks!

A custom made wedding gown, sooo much better than a store bought one!
Think of it, you could have it made so that it's an original. Ok, now I want to get one hand made .
The first time I got married, the MOH and one of the bridesmaids dresses were bought at a bridal shop and the other bridesmaids dress was handmade and it looked exactly like the store bought ones, less expensive but just as beautiful.

Design the Custom Bridal Gown of Your Dreams

The bridal gown is one of the centerpieces of any wedding, but what happens if you cannot find the perfect one? Perhaps you are hoping for a unique gown, or one that fits in with your wedding theme, or maybe you are just not a perfect size 6. There are are many good reasons why a bride might decide that she wants to have a dress made especially for her; here is what you need to know to design the wedding gown of your dreams.

The first thing to keep in mind is that when I say that you can design your own wedding gown, I am not suggesting that you attempt to make it yourself! Unless you are a professional seamstress, the result of a homemade gown is rarely going to be perfect enough for a bride to wear on one of the most special days of her life. A seamstress who specializes in custom bridal gowns should be the only person you trust with such an important project. Be wary of anyone who tells you that they can reproduce a designer gown for a fraction of the price; this is not a person who is going to deliver a high quality wedding dress. There are many excellent reasons to opt for a custom bridal gown, but in most cases, saving money is not a realistic one (although you will not have to pay for alterations on a custom gown).

When you are interested in designing your own bridal gown, the first step is to do your research. Look through magazines and on the internet to get a sense of what appeals to you. The chances are that you will not come across one gown that has all of the features that you like; if that were the case, you could just order that one and be done with it. At your first custom consultation, you should be prepared to show the seamstress ideas of what you would like. It is perfectly fine to say, "I like the top of this gown, the bottom of that one, and the color of a third gown". A talented designer will be able to help you see how all of the various parts and pieces can serve as inspiration for one fabulous gown.

Many brides will have tried on a number of wedding dresses before realizing that they would be better off having a gown custom made. This is very useful, as it can give you a good sense of what is flattering to your body and what is not. Don't worry if you are confused about all of the different options! The seamstress will be able to guide you. She will also be able to make suggestions on how to best highlight your favorite features of your figure and to camouflage any problem areas. Be open to her ideas; you might not come away with the exact bridal gown you initially envisioned, but you may well end up with something even more beautiful.

Once the basic shape and style of your gown has been determined, you will be able to make choices about the fabric, color, and any embellishments. This is a lot of fun! You will get the chance to explore various trims and notions until you find one that you simply love. The options will be wide open, ranging from traditional lace to glamorous crystal beadwork to delicate embroidery.

When you have finished deciding the basics for your custom bridal gown, it will be time to think about the veil, jewelry, headpiece, and shoes that will make your entire ensemble look perfect. After all, when you put that much effort into designing your dream dress, you don't want to overlook the accessories to coordinate with it. Many brides will opt to have custom bridal jewelry and headpieces designed that play up the most special features in their one-of-a-kind gowns.

Designing a custom bridal gown can be one of the best parts of planning your wedding. It is a luxury that every bride deserves. To know that for one day, you will be attired in a handcrafted custom gown unlike any other is a magical feeling.

My sister is getting married and we are looking for wedding dresses. Do you know any places?

David's Bridal was a bust. Not enough selection. Her colors are sapphire, silver, and ivory (or white). She wants a mermaid style wedding dress that's elegant, and not plain. We also need bridesmaid gowns...most of her braidsmaids are voluptous...from sizes 12-18. She's about a 0 or 2. I've been looking under prom dresses because there is a lot more style. We want long dresses...and I can't seem to find many sapphire dresses. Also, I'm the maid of honor, so we are thinknig about putting me in silver, or a combination of silver and sapphire. Anywayz, I went to david's bridal...we are going to go to bridal town, and i looked at mary's bridal. I scanned a few other places, but was wondering if you may know any websites for bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses...especially that have the color sapphire!

Question about preserving a wedding gown?

My wedding gown is in a bag in the back seat of my car it is in the bridal bag it came in. My questions are I live out west I have been married over 14 years and never had the extra money to get my dress preserved like they do at the dry cleaners. How much does it cost to get a wedding gown cleaned and preserved and after 14 years do you think it is worth doing this? I thought after some bills are paid I thought it would be a nice thing to do. I have no little girls to pass the dress on to but my grandma willed me the money to get the dress so I thought preserving it would be a nice thing to do. what is your take on this?

An "out west" local would indicate a hot car in the summer. Has the gown been in your backseat for 14 years? If it has or not, you should take it out and inspect it. Make sure the fabric is ok. If it seems not dried out, or damaged in any way than take it to a dry cleaners that does certified gown preservation. I live "out west" and had mine cleaned, holes sewn, and boxed with my veil. I have no little girls either. I just wanted to keep it nice. Plus the box has a window so I can look at it. The cost of the preservation and cleaning was $100.

The Right Kind Of Bridal Jewelry

Once you have the perfect wedding gown, the next step is to add in the perfect accessories. Well-chosen jewelry will enhance the best features of your gown, whereas poor choices will detract from your overall look, even if the jewelry itself is pretty. Follow these tips on matching your bridal jewelry to your wedding gown to ensure that your finished look is nothing short of spectacular!

One of the most important things that brides forget is that their bridal jewelry should most certainly compliment their wedding dress. For instance, if you have selected a wedding dress in a pure white, it will look fantastic with silver jewelry, white pearls, shimmering crystals, and icy rhinestones. If you are wearing a white wedding dress, try to stay away from warmer toned colors as they are more of a clash to white dresses. Many white bridal gowns are embellished with silver embroidery or beadwork, so silver bridal jewelry which is handcrafted in sterling silver with lots of sparkling crystals will be a fabulous addition to your bridal ensemble.

Diamond white or silk white wedding gowns are extremely popular. Most silk wedding dresses, although are called white, appear as a softer white. Diamond white is flattering to any skin tone and is also very easy and simple to accessorize. Because it has neither blue-white nor yellow-ivory undertones, silk white looks equally fantastic with gold or silver jewelry. Bridal jewelry decorated in soft pastel colors makes a beautiful set of Swarovski pearl necklace and earrings. You should always try to match your bridal jewelry to the gold or silver accents of your wedding dress; other than this, try to match the bridal jewelry to the color of your skin.

Ivory gowns are romantic and lend themselves very well to bridal jewelry in rich tones. Gold bridal jewelry looks fantastic with an ivory gown, as they both have a warm glow. If you want to enhance the color of your gown, choose crystals and pearls in rich tones such as bronze to play up the warm ivory. A pair of golden chandelier earrings, drop earrings, or simple pendants are feminine and pretty types of bridal jewelry. A triple row pearl bracelet in ivory or bronze pearls is a great finishing detail.

You should also consider the gown's neckline when choosing the right kind of bridal jewelry. Almost anything goes with a strapless wedding dress. A strapless wedding dress calls for a necklace with a bold presence to fill all the empty space. (Wearing a stapless gown without a necklace looks too naked in wedding pictures.) Shop for bridal jewelry which suits both your gown and your personality. The bride who loves simple elegance will fall in love with the simplicity of a beautiful tin cup necklace and the traditional pearl necklace as well. A necklace, bracelet, and earring set full of sparkling crystals would make any bride look like a princess on her big wedding day. Brides with eclectic taste will delight in selecting handcrafted bridal jewelry which is made especially for them.

The wedding dress with one shoulder is the hardest dress to accessorize although it remains very popular among brides these days. If you have a one shoulder wedding dress, there are only a few options to choose from to have your bridal jewelry compliment your dress right. If your one shoulver gown has too much going on with it, stay simple and sweet with your bridal jewelry. A modern pair of stiletto earrings will be dramatic yet clean enough not to compete with such a dramatic neckline. A delicate choker necklace and earrings with a medium length drop would go great with a one shoulder dress that has a simple look to it. With all of the right bridal jewelry in place, you can be sure that you will look picture perfect for your wedding day.
