Custom embroidery inside dress - anyone else doing this?

Tara, on October 27, 2011 at 4:38 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9

I heard on a movie I think that someone's grandma had her & her DH's initials sewn into her wedding gown. I thought it was so cute and ran it past my dress & alterations lady. I gave her creative control with the request that the thread be the same shade as the MOH dress, and that it have our initials & a heart inside the dress somewhere. This is what she gave me, inside a heart it said "M loves EM" (Tara is short, I cut it back from my full first name because I didn't like my name and face coming up in google) and EM are FH's initials. When I'm wearing the dress, I can look down and see some of it.

    Very cute idea and great way to personalize the dress. I am sewing a swatch of fabric from both my mom's and my FMIL's wedding gowns as my something old.

    Oh that's sweet!

    Can your something old & something borrowed be the same thing?

    I did! They used blue thread to monogram my initials and our wedding date.

    I saw something similiar- it was the date in blue. That would be your something blue. Love the idea of the mother's gowns- if they still had them.

    Very cute idea and great way to design the dress. It will be more amazing if we will try with embroidery digitizing technique.
