It’s a shame some women don’t even consider bespoke bridal gowns when shopping for their wedding dresses. Some may think they can't afford them, but there are so many more aspects than simply the cost. We’ve all seen family photos of mothers and grandmothers in their wedding dresses; those photos often spark memories and open a window onto the past that younger brides want to replicate.

Choosing a designer that can help you do just that can be one of the most enjoyable experiences of a young woman's life. There are many reasons to consider it and it can be far easier (and cheaper) than you may first think.

You can get bespoke bridal gowns that use both historical and modern themes

If you love a particular aspect of a wedding dress worn by someone in your family, you can easily use this in the design of your own. Alternatively, you may see pictures of dresses from times gone by that you love – these too can be incorporated into the design, or used to inspire it.

You could have detailing from your mother’s dress replicated in yours

This really carries on from the suggestion given above. Take some photos with you when you visit your designer so you can show them the specific features you like. There may only be one or two aspects you would like to replicate, but in any case they will be easier to do if you have evidence of the dress rather than simply trying to explain it. Some brides even have their mother's or grandmothers's actual dress reworked into one for themselves, and this can have truly stunning results.

You can create something that has real meaning for you

A wedding dress is the most romantic and important outfit you are ever likely to wear. As such, it makes sense that you spend plenty of time looking for the ideal design and not rushing it. Choosing to commission bespoke bridal gowns means you truly can get the dress of your dreams, because it will be unique to you and have more meaning as a result. If you buy off the rack you will know that some other brides will be wearing the same dress as you on their big day; no matter how gorgeous the dress is it isn’t the same as having something unique to you.

As you can see there is a lot to think about when it comes to the creation of a unique outfit in which to get married. But keep an open mind and be inspired by the past as well as by modern times and you will have every opportunity to walk down the aisle in a dress fit for a princess.
