How to Find Inspiration for Custom Made Wedding Dresses

So you’ve decided that custom made wedding dresses are the best option for your own big day – so where do you go from here? Well, finding some inspiration from somewhere would be a good start. We’ve put together some suggestions that will help in this respect so once you collaborate with your chosen designer you’ll have a very good idea of what you want.

Look back into your family history

Many women do this in order to see what women in their family wore when got married. You can choose to delve look just a few years or many decades – you never know when inspiration for a gown will strike, so try and stay open-minded and eagle-eyed. For many women, the main dress they'll be interested in is their mother’s, although some will also consider dresses worn by their grandmothers. Remember, you don’t need to copy a dress exactly – you can simply take the design as inspiration for certain aspects and come up with a unique style for your dress.

Look at magazines and the Internet

We have so many sources today when looking for inspiration that it’s not hard to find a vast cache of ideas just waiting to be mined. Custom made wedding dresses are worn by many famous women, so looking in magazines (especially those that focus on celebrity weddings and the like) is a good move. It doesn’t matter if you know who each individual is or not, because it’s the dress you're interested in not the person. This is particularly helpful if you spot someone who has a similar figure to you. In addition you can look online, using the search term 'custom made wedding dresses' or or something similar to find virtually unlimited images to help you.

Look for an experienced designer

Of course you will need to go to a skilled dress designer in order to get your dream gown created. However, if you are short on inspiration and you still have many months to go until your big day, you may want to seek out the advice of one or two different designers at this very early stage. By doing this you will ensure you end up with a designer you have a rapport with. Some women will naturally 'click' more with one designer than another, which means there is a better opportunity to achieve outstanding results.

As you can see, there are plenty of potential sources of inspiration that may help you when you are considering the design of custom made wedding dresses. The more information you have the easier it will be to get the dress you have always wanted, and deserve.
