Wouldn’t it be nice if you were the person that will create your own marriage dress on your big day? Naturally it would be. The reason is because you get the opportunity to make a statement with all the unique touches you add to your wedding dress, such as matching your wedding ring set.

Today, thanks to the advent of technology and easy accessibility to data, more and more brides-to-be are getting into planning their own marriage dresses. Unlike before when information is limited re design and its technicalities, modern brides can have their dream marriage dress created by themselves. Now, they can see their dream marriage dress created before their very own eyes the way they need it to be.

Considerations in coming up with your own marriage dress

If you are the kind of bride who would want to look absolutely unique, then you must find out how to design your own wedding dress. This job might appear frightening at first, but if you wish to do it your own way, you can overcome that “I couldn’t do it” mindset and start working.

One of the major concerns if you need to design your own marriage dress is time. The reason is because the task itself will require so many time especially if you do not have inborn knack for planning. If you are dating and would want to design your own wedding dress in the future, now is the best time to get started on it. If you believe you’ve got more than sufficient time to design your own wedding dress, then you must familiarize yourself with the basics.

The first thing that you need to do if you have ultimately decided that you’re going to design your own marriage dress is to conduct a research. This research should include the different body types for each marriage dress, numerous marriage dress shapes, materials that can be used, styles that are in trend, cuts that may fit you, colors, and basic sewing information.

If you are done with the research, you can now proceed to the design correct. Before you proceed, it is very important for you to establish your body type in order to know which dress shape would look good on you. If you’ve got a tall frame, almost any style of wedding dress would look good on you. If you are petite, it’s miles better to stick with clean style and cuts because too many subtleties in the design can be overwhelming for your frame. If you are pear formed, it is safe to stay with A-line princess cut marriage dresses to avoid exposing your waist. If you do your analysis intently, you will discover that there are so many straightforward cures when it comes to physical flaws.

You should also familiarize yourself with different dress shapes and cuts for wedding gowns including straight line, empire cut, ball gown, mermaid, and others so you can make your own variation if required.

The next consideration would be the fabric to be used. Since you are just starting, it is best to consult a seamstress or tailor what is the best fabric for your dream wedding robe. Their recommendation can be of much help to you because you don’t need to be confused when you go to a fabric and textile store. This would also make sure that you would not be purchasing the incorrect kind of dress for your dress. Other significant issues include the color of fabric, embellishments to be used, and the stitching process.

If you want to design your own wedding dress, you can do it in 2 ways : by traditional sketching or using the “design your own marriage dress” programs in varied bridal sites in the Internet.

Is Buying a Designer Wedding Dress the Right Decision?

When you were a little girl dreaming of your wedding, you probably imagined yourself in a beautiful wedding gown. I would bet that a budget wasn’t part of that dream. Unless you have unlimited funds, you will find yourself balancing a budget and your dreams as you plan your wedding. Have you considered buying designer wedding dresses?

Experts suggest that you should spend about 6% of your wedding budget on the dress. With the average cost of a wedding around $25,000, the recommended advice is to spend about $1,500 on your wedding dress. Wedding budgets, however, are difficult to stick to. After all, your wedding dress is the most significant piece of clothing that you will ever purchase. Should you go for the designer wedding dress, or go for a discount wedding dress?

You Must Shop For a Designer Dress

Even if you have no intention of purchasing a designer dress, go shop for one anyway. You’ll be treated to champagne, as boutique associates attempt to find the perfect dress for you. It’s a fun experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity – hopefully.

My Dress is Out of My Budget

If you do visit the boutique and fall in love with a designer wedding gown you may be facing a dilemma. Do you ignore the budget for a dress that you will wear once in your life, or choose an alternative? There may be a way for you to get the dress without breaking the bank. You may decide that it’s worth cutting back on the flowers or the food to increase your budget. Perhaps the store will work with you to offer you a discount.

If the store won’t work with you and you have tried on the dress you want, go online to find the dress. Ebay can be a good source of new designer dresses. There are bridal ebay stores, and you can also find brides selling their wedding gowns on eBay. Try craigslist as well for local brides selling their wedding dresses. You can also look for a wedding store that rents out dresses and get the dress of your dreams that way. Lastly, you can ask a seamstress to create an exact duplicate of the designer wedding dress that you want and do so at a much lower cost.

Buying a designer dress is ultimately up to you. No one else can make the decision if it’s worth it or not. Purchases for your wedding are never logical. When else will you spend $25,000 on one night? If the dress makes you feel absolutely beautiful you may decide to go for it. Shop around, try to get a discount, visit online stores and do your best to stay around your budget. If your budget really doesn’t allow you to get the dress you do want, find a cheaper alternative that looks just as great. While you won’t have bragging rights of saying you’re wearing Vera, your guests won’t know the difference. Most important is that you feel beautiful in the dress.
