Hello, we're back. It's a wedding Wednesday, once again, and today we're talking about fabrics, colors, bling-bling all the things that make every single detail of your dress magical. I believe that details matter so much, the littlest things can matter to create your vision.

When it comes to custom, what happens is you get to choose your fabrics completely and totally 100% all you. So this is how this dress is uniquely yours, right? When we have our visionary call, we talk about all the things you love about certain fabrics, satin, lace, tulle, chiffon and the colour you would love.

I then go and I search for options for you, and then I send you those options. Typically I like to send four or five depending on what we're looking at and a lot of the time this is for lace and other things like trims.

This way it's not overwhelming and you get to choose what you want to have for your dress. A lot of the time, my brides they're very decisive. Some are not, but that's okay. We work through it and we find whatever we need.

This bride wanted to have an very light off-white wedding dress.

Now during the process of choosing fabrics we must find it in the colour you are wanting. Whether if be Bright white, off-white, ivory or even PINK! I've had brides ask me, will this color worked for me. When you try dresses on, you'll see what colors work for you, and you'll know that you either want white, white, or another variation. I also have samples of fabrics that you can place against your skin to see. Most of the dresses we create are off-white, however, we’ve even dyed fabric to get the exact colour that our Bride envisioned her dress to be.

Then we have the bling bling bling! Bling-bling, jewels and beading can be incorporated into many aspects of your dress. If you have lace on your dress, it can be incorporated into the applique, added to trim or the edge around your hem or train. Adding a belt is always a way to add a little something extra or it can be just in your hair.

With the addition of a glitter fabric under neath and a small sequin throughout the lace appliques gave this bride just the right amount of shine for her wedding day.

Every Bride is so different and have such a unique visions. They either want the entire dress covered in beading and crystals or very few sequins that give only a little shimmer when the light hits the fabric. It's going to be for your personality, that fits you best. So BLING it up or tone it down, with custom you can have all that your heart desires.

Those are some of the main topics during our visionary call your fabrics, colors and your bling bling. the fabric and the color that comes first after we do our measurements. Then you receive options , once you choose, the fabrics are ordered and we get started on creating your dream dress!

Head over to our Instagram as that is where we hang out the most and will find loads of information in our stories and posts.
