Putting Your Dreams Into Reality
Choosing your wedding gown will be one of the most important clothing decisions you’ll ever have to make.
When considering their dream bridal gown, most people become overwhelmed with the importance of the most memorable garment in their life. This awesome decision seems to cloud the normal train of thought.
When they enter a bridal shop they are faced by a wall of white and ivory, beading and embroidery. They cannot find their perfect gown on the rail , and preconceived ideas gained from trailing through endless glossy bridal magazines who show 6 foot tall models with a perfect bodies.
These images may well be airbrushed so are a million miles away from actual reality.
The wedding dress design dictates the choice of style, colour and details of everything else at the wedding including the bridesmaid’s dresses, flower designs and invitations.
You have to think carefully about what your wedding dress would look like as well as taking into account the immovable factors such as the date of the wedding, location, church, civil ceremony or tropical beach. All these factors are great influences.
A modern hotel may inspire clean, sleek lines in the design, with reflective beadwork mirroring the minimal interior or gardens outside. In contrast, a historic manor house or castle would have a totally different treatment in design. The grandeur of such buildings will overwhelm some gowns, so the key is detail and proportion.
To help focus the mind, it may be helpful to start a ‘look book’ – a scrapbook that contains all the ideas and inspirations that spring to mind. This could be photographs, swatches/scraps of fabric, colour swatches, beads, embroidery – anything in fact that appeals to you. Keep it with you and every time you see something make a note of it in the look book. You can then use these things to direct your thoughts as to what would suit your shape and the style you would like to have.
From these useful means I can design the dress of your dreams.
