Adding Sleeves

If you’ve found the perfect dress but you really want your arms covered, then why not make the dress your own and add some lace or tulle sleeves; either full length or capped! Add some personality to your gown, get your perfect dress and make it your own!

Adding A Bolero/Cape

A bolero or cape is the perfect option if you’re wanting to cover up your arms for the ceremony and take it off to have a different look for the evening. Have a fitted version so it looks like part of your dress, or go full on drama with an embellished or sequinned number.

Adding A Veil

Make your veil the star of the show; there are so many ways to customise your veil and add that wow factor to a simple dress. Add 3D flowers, embroidery, lace trims, or even go for a coloured veil.

Adding Belts/Sashes

Belts and sashes are the easiest way to add some personality to a simple gown to complete your wedding day look. Go for a ribbon or a band of coloured fabric to add some drama to a simple look or add some sparkle with an elaborate beaded belt. This will help add definition and draw attention to a simple, elegant gown.
