Step 1: Finding Inspiration and Defining Your Dream Dress (Week 1-2)
A custom wedding dress starts with your vision. Before placing an order, explore different designs and identify the elements that make your dream dress truly yours.
Where to Find Wedding Dress Inspiration
- Pinterest and Instagram: Browse thousands of designs and save the ones that align with your vision.
- Bridal Magazines and Designer Collections: Study different styles to refine your preferences.
- Wedding Venue and Theme: Choose a dress that complements your wedding setting—beach, ballroom, rustic, or garden.
- Your Personal Style: Think about the silhouettes and fabrics you feel most comfortable wearing.
Key Elements to Consider for Your Custom Gown
- Silhouette: Do you envision an A-line, mermaid, sheath, or ball gown wedding dress?
- Fabric: Luxurious silk satin, delicate lace, soft chiffon, tulle, or organza?
- Neckline & Sleeves: Romantic off-the-shoulder, elegant V-neck, strapless sweetheart, or illusion lace sleeves?
- Embellishments & Details: Hand-sewn beading, pearls, floral appliqués, or minimalist chic?
- Train Length & Skirt Volume: A dramatic cathedral train, a sophisticated chapel train, or a sleek floor-length hem?
After finalizing your preferences, save 5-10 reference images to share with Canan Bridal’s design team.
