Tips for personalizing your wedding attire

You can personalize your own wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses, and even the men’s tuxedos.

Look through bride magazines and shop at wedding shops and you’ll find that most wedding attire looks similar. There are some ways, however, to make the wedding look your own. You can personalize your own wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses, and even the men’s tuxedos.

• Coloured sashes – A pop of colour punctuates this wonderful look and really creates a personal wedding. Simple satin sashes can be tied onto each of the bridesmaids dresses in a colour that you love. Then, add that colour to the men’s vests or cummerbunds. Tie it all together by carrying a bouquet of flowers in that specific colour. The result is a really trendy look that makes a personal statement.

• Rainbow Colours – For a really interesting look for your wedding try something different. Dress the bridesmaids each in her own colour. Match the tie of the corresponding groomsman to this colour and you’ve got a rainbow wedding! This is perfect for brides who like something different and for bridesmaids who each prefer a different colour.

• Crystal Pins – Add beautiful crystal stone pins to the front or back of each of the bridesmaid dresses. These pretty pins improve the look of the dress and personalize it by making it sparkle. You can also add your own crystal pin on the wedding gown. As a bonus – you can give the pins as gifts to your bridesmaids and they can be easily removed and worn again and again.

• Different Dresses – A popular trend among brides is to choose different styled bridesmaid dresses. The key to a nice look is to keep the dresses all in the exact hue. Each bridesmaid can choose her own style dress. The result is a group of happy bridesmaids and a very personalized look to your wedding.

• Coloured Flowers – If you like the idea of traditional clothing but want to spice it up just a bit, try using different coloured flowers. Each of the bridesmaid bouquets will be of a different colour, creating a nice hit of colour as they walk down the aisle. Order matching boutonnieres for the men to give the look a coordinated look. Use some flowers of each colour in the bride’s bouquet.

• Wraps – The look of any dress can be changed dramatically with the addition of a wrap. Think about adding a lace wrap in a different colour to each of your bridesmaid’s outfits. The look is completely unique and the colours can match or coordinate with your wedding colours. This adds a simple yet personal touch to the wedding attire.
