Custom Painted Wedding Gowns

The wedding is planned to be celebrated in the season of summer on the shore of the sea where together with your fiancé you have established the day of this beautiful celebration. Because the planning has already started for some time now, you have to finally decide on the style of your gown. Your idea is to have a wedding dress decorated with symbols to remind of the sea creatures, symbols that are associated with the peace of mind, love and depth of feelings. This idea has emerged one day when you were in search of a dress appropriate for the beach themed weddings, one site displaying some hand-painted dresses of Joy Bernaldez, and seeing their beautiful floral motifs your fantasy has been aroused.

Actually, artworks on bridal couture are not that new, they have been included in the aspect of a wedding gown even from ancient times, when queens of the royal courts have inserted in their festive gowns hand crafted bead works and/or embellishments with sparkling gems to decorate the simplicity of a fabric which was manufactured in those ages. Thus, imagining how your custom painted wedding gown will look like, you reach for the decorative symbols you want to have them included in the adornment of your beach bridal appearance.

Your mother will be the one to help you with the sewing, she is very good at it; she is the one that has designed and sewn the dress for your engagement party inspired by some cocktail dresses displayed online inside the gowns collections for various occasions. Looking for the specific symbol, you go for the seashells, and in this regard you search also for the meanings carried by these seashells which you have always been fascinated with.

You find out that the seashells bear within the symbol of fertility, a mystic representation for regeneration and the symbol of life that lies inside the very existence of the sea. So, seashells will be the ones to decorate the design of your dress; you start browsing online for the light blue wedding dresses that could easily become your custom painted wedding gown for the beach celebration of your wedding. You realize that a beach wedding festivity can be performed even barefoot, but yet you want to wear a pair of casual light cream shoes with blue ribbons and plan to decorate them with the seashell that you have gathered from the beach throughout your long strolls on the seashore.



You have found an A-line style of a light blue wedding gown which doesn’t have a train, as much as you have desired one, but it is however strapless and the width of the skirt allows you to have it painted with the seashells that your mother will cut out of a seashell motif-ed fabric with mauve and light brown as predominant colors. This fabric has been ordered from a site selling online fabrics with seashell motifs (for beach wedding themes); one meter of this fabric is more than enough to decorate your skirt and to include as well some additions on the fitted bodice bordering the sweetheart neckline.



Your mother wants to complete the beach aspect of your light blue wedding gown with some straps that she plans to make in the shape of a chained seashell motifs, sewing underneath some hard material to keep the shape of the straps meant to be connected to the fitted bodice. Having these straps will allow you to move freely and not worrying that your bodice will fall while dancing and moving among your wedding guests who attend to your beach themed wedding event.11
