One of the best ways to personalize your wedding attire is by making your own accessories with DIY hacks. Pearls or other embellishments can be hand-stitched onto a veil to create a unique and memorable piece. You can also add innovative touches to bridal shoes, clutches, or even belts. If you wish to incorporate ‘something old’ into your bridal look, upcycling fabrics from heirloom garments can make some unique pieces. Old brooches, buttons, or laces can be repurposed to make beautiful custom clutches and bracelets. These DIY hacks will not only save you on cost, but also bring personality and love into your wedding outfit.
