It's All in the Details: Lovely lace, embroidery and beading
With so many choices on the market, shopping for your wedding dress can seem like a daunting task. Once you've narrowed your choices to silhouettes that flatter your body type, and colours to suit your skin tone, you may want to consider various details like lace overlays or accents, beading and embroidery.
A word of advice while you contemplate your choices - use your physical stature and personality as a guide to which details YOU can pull off and strive to find the delicate balance where details accentuate instead of overwhelm the dress and the bride who wears it.
$750 Private Label Wedding Gown and Veil
As always, browse our picks below and click on the image to be taking directly to the posting on SmartBride Boutique.
1. $750 Private Label Wedding Gown and Veil
This gorgeous Private Label gown is fit for a princess. With intricate beading and embroidery on the bodice and skirt any Toronto bride looking to make a statement would find amazing value in this gown/veil combo.
2. $900 Sophia Tollia Y1813 Gemma Wedding Dress
Equally stunning is this ivory gown from Sophia Tollia located in B.C. We love the subtle swarovski crystal detailing below the bustline combined with beaded embroidery throughout the full skirt to create a unified style without overwhleming the delicate sweetheart neckline.
3. $850 Demetrois Strapless Wedding Gown
We think the combination of figure flattering ruching and subtle beading throughout the gown adds texture and sparkle without feeling like there's too much going on. Using a consistent overlay can help keep attention on the bride instead of drawing the eye to specific details. While the overlay lends itself to more traditional or vintage dresses, the mermaid cut is modern and elegant.
4. $2950 Rosa Clara from Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier in New York
We adore this dress for its subtle off-white colour accentuated by a textured overlay. It's not the type of detailing that will pull attention away from the bride's glowing face, and can even be played up with statement earrings, or even dramatic makeup.
5. $400 Paloma Blanca Lace Back Wedding Dress
Yes, we featured this dress last week too - but seriously, it's such a steal. Take a look at the lace back which takes the elegant, streamlined look of the dress up a notch as you walk down the aisle.
