How to Customize a Simple Wedding Dress

By John Jones


You must be one of the two billion people who watched and marveled at the grand wedding ceremony of Prince William and Princess Kate. You, being a bride-to-be yourself, must be hoping for a wedding dress as stunning as Princess Kate's. Truth is you will look in fashion if you add some Kate Middleton touch or royal touch to your wedding dress, because her bridal attire has certainly set wedding fashion standards all over the world. Now let's learn some trendy dressing codes from the beautiful and happy Princess Kate.

Many of the new simple 2012 wedding gowns have natural waistlines. This makes them the perfect blank canvas for adding a stunning belt or sash. One of the most gorgeous options is to accessorize your gown with a fabulous jeweled belt. Theprom dresses 2012 confident DIY bride can try her hand at making her own sparkly sash, or they can be ordered online or made by your seamstress. A jeweled belt will dramatically transform your simple gown into something that is still understated and elegant, but also very striking. Swarovski crystal wedding jewelry would be the natural choice to complement the sash.

In contrast to formal weddings, gowns with shorter dresses or suits are usually worn in informal weddings. Generally edged from knee to mid-calf length, theses informal gowns may have some beading or lace trim, and of any good suit material, satin or beaded chiffon. Flowers in the bride's hair rather than veils are usually matched with informal gowns.

The V-neck designs of Princess Kate's wedding gown and her navy-blue dress worn at the official engagement announcement express the princess's fondness for V-neck design. This v-shaped neckline reveals your cleavage for a little sexy feeling while not showing too much skin. The very common neckline design suits all body types, especially for women with broad shoulders or heavy bust line. Pick yourself a well-chosen necklace when wearing a V-neck dress. Skip heavy or long necklaces and choose shorter ones such as a choker. If you are confident enough, you may not need a necklace like Princess Kate did.

Another thing that you can do with lace to personalize your wedding dress is create a lace border around the hemline. Now that we are seeing new gowns with completely plain skirts, this is a beautiful possibility. (It would not work for a dress with any kind of gathering or other details on the skirt.) What an elegant timeless detail. Speaking of elegant, another pretty idea is to add a small lace cap sleeve to a sleeveless wedding dress. This works best when the gown already has a true armhole, such as a V-neck or scoopneck dress would. Since the royal wedding, lace sleeves of any kind are definitely a very hot trend for brides.
