Most brides only plan to get married once, and as such – whether it turns out that way or not! – want to make it a dreamlike occasion in which everything goes to plan, and the bride looks a vision of beauty.
One way of guaranteeing that the bride takes the groom’s breath away on the special day, is to wear a dress that has been designed personally for her, using materials from White Lodge Fabric. By wearing a unique dress that no other bride has worn, or ever will, you won’t just take the groom’s breath away, but the breath of everyone present!
While it may be a more budget-friendly option to buy a dress off of the rack, once you start factoring in alterations and the like, there may not be as much of a price difference as you might expect.
There are a whole host of reasons to buy a customized wedding dress designed especially for you, and here are 8 of them:
- Uniqueness
Do you want to look like every other bride, or do you want to look uniquely gorgeous? Being individual and standing out for all the right reasons, is surely every brides dream, and with a custom made wedding dress, you can do exactly that.
- Choice
From the fabric your wedding dress will be made out of, to its style, fabric and trims, when its customized, it will be exactly how you want it to be, and with so many designs and fabrics to choose from, it can be as extravagant, low key, demure or outrageous as you want!
- Custom fit
Nothing fits the body better than something that has been designed especially for it, and when you have your wedding dress tailormade for you, it will fit you like a glove – and an exquisite one at that! Shop bought dresses may be the convenient choice, but rarely do they fit the exact dimensions of your body like a customized dress will, and all of those alterations can add up to more cost and stress. Reduce that stress with a dress that hugs the contours of your body, and allows you to move gracefully around the wedding venue.
- Lovingly made
A lot of effort goes into making customized wedding dresses with the help of an online fabric shop, and all of the craftmanship involved, and dedication to designing you the perfect dress for your big day, helps to make the occasion, and you, feel all the more special.
- Sentimental value
If you want to have something of sentimental value incorporated into your dress, it’s entirely possible when you have it designed and tailormade for you. From beading taken from a cherished heirloom, to lace from a christening gown, whatever you want to have sewn into your dress, can be done so with great skill by your chosen designer and tailor.
- Trend setting
Why look like every other bride that walked up the aisle (especially when those fashionable dresses don’t look as good on you as they do on the catwalk models), when you can look uniquely fabulous in your own, trendsetting dress.
- Time
While it is true that designing and making a wedding dress can take many, many months, most who are skilled at what they do (depending on their waiting list) can present you with a final version within six months, and considering you’ve probably been dreaming about your big day for years, that doesn’t seem so long to wait! Not only that, but by having the dress finalized within weeks (or days) of the big day, will ensure that it fits perfectly no matter whether you’ve lost weight, or gained it.
- Supporting local businesses
Many wedding dress designers and tailors would love to gain your custom, and what can feel better than supporting your local community while looking the bees knees on your wedding day!
