A wedding dress that is perfectly tailored to your wishes, needs and figure is definitely a nice idea for many. After all, who wouldn’t be delighted to get married in the absolutely perfect wedding dress? We tell you what options you have to design your wedding dress yourself.
Finding a wedding dress is sometimes not easy. There are many different types of wedding dresses and also some things that you should pay attention to when choosing a wedding dress. But it’s often the small details that you don’t like about a wedding dress. The idea of designing the wedding dress according to your own ideas would be all the nicer.

How to design your own wedding dress
Not every bridal fashion store gives you the opportunity to design your wedding dress yourself. But this is possible, for example, at White Silhouette in Munich. White Silhouette Bridal Fashion in Munich is nicknamed “the creative bride”. The nickname was not chosen at random. Future brides can design their wedding dress themselves there with little effort. You have the following three options for this.
Changing details on a dress
In many cases there is already a wedding dress that fits you almost perfectly. But only almost! Sometimes it’s the little things and details that would most like to be changed:
- the depth of the neckline to be slightly reduced
- the train could be a bit longer
- the back could be cut further
- you don’t like the pattern of the lace on the sleeves
There are many examples of this. Even if it’s often just small details that you don’t like, these are often the reason not to decide on a wedding dress. Although it is actually almost the perfect wedding dress. Luckily, you have the opportunity to change exactly such details according to your wishes.


Use a modular system!
The top of one dress, the skirt of the other dress and preferably long sleeves. Oh yeah, a V-neck would be way better than a sweetheart. When you try on different wedding dresses, there are always things that you particularly like about a dress. Imagine you have the opportunity to choose the elements that you like best from different clothes. You put the different components together like in a modular system to create a completely new, individual wedding dress.
Have your own wedding dress designed
You don’t have to use an existing dress as the basis for your dream dress. It is also possible to have a dress designed and designed entirely just for you. In a detailed conversation you can discuss your wishes and ideas and let your imagination run wild. It starts with a drawing on paper. Together with a designer you choose fabrics and materials before your unique piece goes into production.
But this is really only for brides who know exactly what they want. As you can imagine, creating a new design is not something that can be done in a short amount of time. Your very own individually designed wedding dress requires a lot of attention to detail.


To be too good to be true?
Bridal fashion shops often only offer the dresses as they are. Of course, a wedding dress does not have to be changed if it suits you. But it’s nice to have the opportunity to design your own wedding dress in such a way that you like it 100%. Of course, you should always keep in mind that individual changes to the dress are associated with an extra charge. The amount depends on the complexity of the changes and cannot be given as a flat rate.
With White Silhouette, no special appointment is required for Variant 1, i.e. detail changes, or for Variant 2, the modular system. This is already included during your wedding dress fitting and is part of their philosophy as a standard. For a completely individual wedding dress designed for you, a special design appointment is required.
A wedding dress that is perfectly tailored to your wishes, needs and figure is too good to be true? No way! You only need a shop where you can bring in your own wishes.
