A wide variety of off-the-rack gowns are available for brides to suit every style, figure, and budget but many brides still decide to have their dress custom made? Couture wedding dresses are usually outstanding and unique in their appearance, made especially for a particular bride, although many designers portrait the couture label to off-the-rack wedding dresses as the color, fabric or details can be customized.

Here is four reasons to consider couture wedding dresses when you are preparing tirelessly for that big, fateful day;

1. No compromise on style: This is a way where brides have the perfect opportunity to inject the personality into the bridal outfit. When a dress is custom made, you can have all right to do whatever you like as long as you stay within the range of your budget. How many brides decide they like the bodice of one dress, but the skirt of another and in one way or the other can't find an off-the-rack gown that combines the two? With a couture wedding dress, these two gowns can be shown to the dressmaker and can combine the features you love into one unique look.

2. A totally unique dress: You have found your dream dress and you are eager to wear it, but a couple of weeks before then, your friend got married in exactly the same gown! You want to feel completely special and unique on your wedding day, couture dresses are one of the ways you can ensure you look different compared to any other bride. It is of no need to opt for extravagant colors or eccentric details, just having a one off dress designed for you will make your gown as unique as you are.

3. A perfect fit: One of the main reasons bride give for choosing couture wedding dresses is that they want a wedding gown that will fit them perfectly. If you are unusually shaped bride, perhaps with a different size top and bottom half, it can be difficult to find an off-the-rack gown to fit, and if you don't find one, it will require extensive alteration. Whatever the shape of your body might be, a couture wedding dress can be designed to flatter your body shape whatever it may be and to skim effortlessly over your curves, wherever they are.

4. Make it personal: The fact that you get to choose what suits you or what is probably your dream wedding dress may be personal enough when creating your wedding dress, but if you can have it made by someone you know such as a friend or relative, or even a local dressmaker that knows your taste, it will all be made special. Couture wedding dresses don't need to be made by high profile designers; any quality bespoke gown can be called couture.
