Haute couture holds a myriad of imaginative details that make a gown or wedding ensemble special. The most important gown of your life will most likely hold out-of-the-ordinary details that give it a certain panache. Often, these are found in techniques done by hand that machines, no matter how advanced can not duplicate. Lace for instance is gorgeous all on it's own--combine it with different techniques and it takes on an individuality all it's own as you can see in the images above and below. . . .

Considering you make a walk down the aisle and your back is to your guests, adornment can be as simple as a row of buttons down the back of your dress and as involved as bouquets of florals, foliage and sash treatments.
