Designer wedding dresses are often contrasted with off-the-rack wedding dresses. The former is made entirely to measure, while the latter is produced in several copies and in different sizes.
It is entirely possible to customize an off-the-rack wedding dress. At Couture Nuptiale, we have an in-house workshop of seamstresses who can personalize your dress. This is what we call “semi-made-to-measure”. You can therefore:
Even if you buy an off-the-rack wedding dress, you will enjoy a dress that is just as unique thanks to these various types of customization! Of course, you can also have your dress altered so that it perfectly matches your figure. All these adjustments are carried out at Couture Nuptiale, during a first appointment known as the “fitting” appointment. The follow-up appointment then lets you admire the finished dress. But even at this stage, you can still request small new adjustments for a perfect finish.
Beyond altering your off-the-rack wedding dress, you can of course play with accessories to make your wedding dress unique. You can dare to wear a train (more or less long), add a bolero or a stole (handy if it is chilly on your wedding day), wear mittens of varying lengths, or even gloves to add a touch of elegance. Unless you would rather wear a tiara, to make you a true queen.
Some brides choose to bring a touch of color to their white outfit (through flowers in the hair, a stole, a bustier, etc.), for example to match the theme or dress code of their wedding, or to coordinate with their partner.
One of the most important accessories is footwear. Your choice should not be left to chance, because the pair you buy must match your wedding dress while also keeping you comfortable throughout the day and the evening. Do not hesitate to opt for two pairs of shoes: one for the start of the ceremony and another, flatter pair, to dance until the early hours.
Hair and makeup will be an integral part of your outfit. For your hairstyle, you will need to think ahead about what you want: a natural look or an updo? Head accessories or flowers in your hair? It is all these details that will make you a unique bride. As for makeup, you can choose between a natural or a more sophisticated look. In any case, hair and makeup will help personalize your outfit.
Finally, do not forget that you will be a unique bride, whether you wear an off-the-rack wedding dress or a designer one!
