Wedding gowns are as important to some bride as
the groom himself. To some, no wedding plan would be complete without
arrangement for the wedding dress.
But to some witty brides, if you can't find a
perfect wedding gown, design it yourself.
That was what Abbey Ramirez-Bodley did when she
couldn't find one in her budget. Taking matters into her own hands, she decided
she'd design her own dream dress.
Having been inspired by a crocheted dress she
spotted on another woman, the 22-year old decided that would be exactly the
style she'd go with.
"I really fell in love with the idea,"
she told Mashable. "I decided to change it a bit and make it into
my own ideal wedding dress."
So, for eight months, she embarked on a journey
to design and crochet her own, using cotton yarn she purchased for $70. Her
aunt — who had taught her at a young age to crochet — helped her. It took so long,
she said, because the two live over two and a half hours away from each other.
"We could only work together on
weekends," she said.

The result was a dress that was as beautiful as
it was sentimental, with the new bride walking down the aisle in her own
creation. She paired it together with a green dress for $100, the theme color
for the wedding.
"Making something with your own hands out of
love is very special on the most important day of your life," she said.

Her advice for others who want to create their
own wedding gowns? "Do what you think is best and don't let anyone deter
you.
"Start early and don't get frustrated,"
she said. "The outcome is worth all the work."
I am sure not everyone could do justice to their
own gowns. But you can always shop for inexpensive wedding dress, especially on
Amazon with varieties of accessories.
It your day, isn’t it? Make the best of it!
