Do You Want To Make Your Wedding Unique?

Each detail at a wedding speaks volumes about the couple. If a wedding is barefoot or catered by friends and family, then the couple is laid back. If the wedding is under the reigns of a wedding planner, then the couple is supremely selective. No matter which pairing you may be, it’s always satisfying to add some handmade, crafty goodness to the day. Wedding dress plaza shows you how to make your own shoes, jewellery and invites to make your wedding extra special and unique.

Make your own shoes

Since its launch in October 2009, online shoe shop Shoes of Prey has been a success. A completely personalised online shoe shopping experience, Shoes of Prey allows you to play shoe designer and design your own bespoke shoes for any occasion. With almost countless colour and style combinations, the shoes come in a variety of heights from flats to 4.5-inch heels and range in price from $195 to $350. For a classic bridal look, go for a subtle shade in soft Italian silk, or for a bolder bride with a striking wedding theme, choose a glitter, fishskin or snakeskin. Addictive and utterly exciting, it takes ten mere minutes to design the shoes and five weeks for them to arrive at your front door. With shoes often the hardest item to find for a wedding, it’s the place many brides are going to channel their inner Christian Louboutin.

Make your own jewellery

Recently launched site StyleRocks allows you to design your own jewellery for the big day. It’s the perfect place to order and customise your wedding bands, allowing you to choose the style, the metal, the stones and the finish. We love the idea of couples having matching jewellery for the day, and if the groom isn’t a fan of rings, you can easily design the perfect pair of cufflinks for him with a sweet sentiment engraved on them. With a commitment to only using the best metals and stones, StyleRocks offers sterling silver, 9 and 18 carat gold in rose, yellow and white gold. Made in Australia and shipped within two to four weeks, prepare for your jewellery collection to suddenly expand.
