Your Wedding Dress, Your Way

Your Wedding Dress, Your Way 

Brides, are you tired of cookie-cutter wedding dress styles? Been to a bridal boutique where everything seems to look the same? Well, today, we have incredible news for you! So, if you’re a bride on the hunt for the perfect wedding dress that fits your own unique style, stay tuned. Maggie Sottero, one of the top wedding dress designers globally, is unveiling its Spring 2022 bridal collection, and it features tons of accessories that allow you to design your own unique wedding day look. So, if you’re looking for a wedding dress that’s a little more you, the Maggie Sottero “Personalize It” options are the way to go. 

When it comes to wedding dress shopping, having options to customize or personalize a gown totally to fit your style is a game-changer. Many brides find themselves liking many attributes of a wedding dress style, but it just isn’t perfect. For example, maybe you love the color, silhouette, and embellishments, but it’s strapless, which you hate. 

For ages, there weren’t many options for customizing a wedding dress to fit your desired look. Some boutiques may have offered custom work through their alteration department, but that can get costly. And many designers just didn’t provide the service. But in true Maggie Sottero style, she has created a breakthrough program that offers brides many options to totally customize a gown to be perfectly you. Here are a few ways that the Maggie Sottero personalize it options can help you fall in love with the perfect dress.

Restyle Your Summer Bridal Gown For A Fall Wedding Soirée

We know weddings all around the globe have been impacted by COVID-19. Couples have had to postpone, reschedule, cancel or completely change their wedding experience and style. If you’re one of these couples and have had to move your wedding to a different season, don’t worry! You won’t have to buy another wedding dress. Here are some ideas.


Yes, that’s right! You can still love your original wedding dress and make it work for your Fall wedding. You can quickly turn your minimalistic wedding dress into a genuinely whimsical and romantic gown with the Maggie Sottero Eldridge detachable illusion sleeves. The Eldridge sleeves are enchanting wedding dress accessories made from sheer tulle and accented with delicate 3-D tulle flowers. Adding these detachable sleeves will transform your gown into a breathtaking work of art. 


Transform 1 Wedding Dress Into 2 Different Looks

Sure, the wedding trend of having two wedding day looks is still popular with many brides. But, we know every bride can’t afford two gowns. And now, with this revolutionary Personalize it program by Maggie Sottero, you don’t have to. So, here are some ideas on how you can create two different wedding dress looks with one dress. 


The Akari Jacket 

By adding the Akari Jacket by Maggie Sottero to your wedding day look, you transform your gown into a modern and demure look for the ceremony and a fun and festive look for your reception. The Akari Jacket features delicate lace appliques and a jewel neckline. It is available as a cap sleeve jacket or with whimsical bishop sleeves. For this look, all you do is wear the Akari Jacket over your gown, then for the reception, you take it off, and voi​là two unique wedding day looks. 


For The Boho Lovers

If you love unique details, earthy fabrics, and have a free-spirited personality, you’ll love the Dover detachable fringe armbands. And for an extra dramatic and unexpected element, accessorize your wedding day look with the stunning fringe-edge veil—a totally dreamy, swoon-worthy bridal style.

And since they are detachable, you can have two wedding dress looks for a minimal cost.
