Couture Not Just For The Rich And Famous

It may be surprising to learn that a couture bridal gown is within the reach of the majority of today's brides, regardless of budget.
Conventional thought is that this type of bespoke service is the preserve of the rich and famous, but the beauty of aquiring a bridal gown in this way is that the bride has total control over everything from styling detail to final cost.
Whilst a bespoke gown is unlikely to be a less expensive option than "off the peg" there is usually a way of keeping the cost within a set budget, which should be agreed at the beginning of the design process. This can be acheived by tweaking design details and looking at alternative fabrics, of which there would be literally hundreds to choose from, as opposed to the comparatively restricted range available in ready-made dresses.
