Some
brides like the simple and
straight elegant look of a gown without any embellishments. While other
brides prefer color, the sparkle of jewels, and laces to make the gown
their own.
Embellishment on a wedding gown
sets it apart from any long white dress. When used imaginatively the
use of embellishments such as appliqués, beads, embroidery,
sequins, jewels, lace even feathers can make a wedding gown
unique.
Most
of the details on a wedding
gown are done by hand which creates a unique individual gown.
Appliqués

Beads

Can be made from
crystal, gems, glass or metal.
These can be applied to create a pattern anywhere on the dress,
or just
used to give details to certain areas, such as the sleeves,
bodice,
neckline or hems. The beads can also be in colors of soft shades.
