Your Wedding For Less | Tip #17


EMBELLISH YOUR OWN DRESS

The purchase of your wedding dress is one aspect of the wedding budget that can quickly spiral out of control. Take into account the type of jewels and embellishments you want on your dress. It can make all the difference on a plain dress. You could add fabric rosettes, Swarovski crystals, small topaz colored jewels for a fall wedding, or red rubies for a Christmas wedding.
Crewel is a nice embellishment for a winter dress. Crewel is embroidery using thicker materials such as chenille. It gives a dress more dimension. Pearls are a favorite but you can always try something new by using freshwater pearls (great for a beach wedding dress) or softly colored pearls in pinks and lavenders. The embellishments can go along the neckline, on the skirt or the edge of the sleeves.
All of these wedding gown styles and ideas can inspire you to create a unique and custom wedding dress. Don't forget about Bridesmaid Style as well.
