How to Find an Unconventional Wedding Gown

There are some brides who look through magazines and want to look like the prettiest woman they see. Others prefer to show their individuality through their choice of wedding gowns. It might take a little longer to find an unconventional wedding gown, but then again, it may appear in the first place you look.

Instructions

1. Ask your relatives if they have any wedding gowns stored. Using someone else's dress can be sentimental for everyone involved while providing you with a cool source of something antique or different.

2. Make your own either by adding material and jewels to a sleek dress or from scratch if you have a pattern. By making your own or getting a good seamstress to work with your ideas, you can create a very personal gown that no one has seen before or will see again.

3. Go all out and opposite what is expected of you. Wear black for your wedding or mix it up with rainbow colors. Use the occasion to let your personality show through.

4. Shop consignment and thrift stores for that one-of-a-kind dress that you won't find hanging in any conventional wedding gown store. It may take some looking or you might just land on it in short order.

5. Look online for vintage clothiers or designers that cater to the unconventional crowd.
