New Designer Wedding Dress Collection: Opulence

Our newest collection of 2010 Designer Wedding Dresses at Custom Couture Bridal is called "Opulence". This is our highest-end collection, yet completely affordable. We have been told these gowns should retail for $2000 to $ 4000, yet we are making them available starting at $1099. Brides looking for a pure silk wedding dress will be especially pleased since upgrading to silk is approximately $400 depending on the style and the amount of fabric. By doing so these gowns are equivalent to dresses $3000 + in retail shops.

It really is all in the design and the details. The beading often uses Swarovski crystals and Austrian "diamonds" for beautiful sparkle. The laces are the finest: Alencon and Venetian to name a couple. The collection also often has matching accessories: veils and boleros or even a "coat" in two cases. Perfect coordination all made affordable AND made to measure. As you can tell, I'm quite proud!

Brides can still customize their gowns by choosing between various design options such as the closure, fabric, color, straps and beading. The gowns can also be combined with one another. We can make a custom design based on combining elements of this collection together, or we can use other design elements to make the perfect "dream" dress.

Considering a Custom Made Wedding Dress?

If you're considering a custom made wedding dress, here's what to consider first:

• Do you know what will look good on you? If not, consider checking out this guide to wedding dresses that flatter your figure.
• Do you know the terminology? This will help you to communicate with your service provider effectively in their language.
• Are you tempted to copy a designer style? Consider customizing the style rather than making a copy. Reputable designers won't make a replica anyway. Think of your gown as part of your legacy. Do you want took back at your special day and think about how you stole a designer's intellectual property? I'm sure you would you rather think about how you created a totally unique dress that expresses your style and individuality.
• Are you in the process of losing weight? If so, consider a lace-up or corset type closure.
• Think about adding a touch of color. That is part of the beauty of a custom made dress: you are in control! You can use the color to match your bridesmaids, mother, or hubby to be in some way.
• Think about the formality of your wedding. You want the dress to be in synch with the setting, the time of day, the season, etc.
• Make sure the fabric you choose matches the design of the dress. Not all dresses can be made in all fabrics. A good designer should be able to advise you. Looking for lots of movement and flow: chiffon is for you. Thinking traditional and more formal? A satin weave whether made of silk or a poly blend is perfect. Need a light, cool fabric? A taffeta weave is your friend!
