This handbag by Gioia is the perfect accessory to personalize your wedding.
Each bride wants to look her most beautiful on her wedding day. But she also wants to look unique. Women ask me all the time how they can distinguish their wedding-day style from their seven other friends who got married that year. This got me thinking about what it means to look different on a day where almost everyone wears a white (or ivory) dress. How can you make your ensemble your own? Here's how to maintain your individuality.
The Dress
The reality is, if you buy your dress in a boutique or store, that same dress will be worn by hundreds of brides around the country. If this idea does not appeal to you, and you want a dress completely of your own design, you should consider having it custom made. There are many custom dress designers that make beautiful one-of-a-kind gowns for the same cost as buying a dress off the rack, if not less. Have a conversation with a dressmaker to learn your options. A word of caution before going down this road: Make sure you are good at visualizing how something will look and describing what you want. If you are not sure you can do that, then you are better off buying a dress in a store where you can try on the finished product.
