Writing wedding outfit description |

Company: Pretty Life
The theme is romance. The bride’s dress is of ball gown style. Wearing the ball gown, the bride looks noble and graceful. The material for the dress is a curtain. For the lower part of the dress, we rolled magazine paper and stitched the rolls onto the dress. There is a big bowknot on the belt so that the beautiful body shape of the bride is fully addressed. |
Company: Forever Love
Our theme is Chinese traditional. The top is made of black plastic. The trousers are made from black cloth. On the upper outfit, there is a red flower ball which is made of paper, representing the two important elements of the Chinese traditional wedding – completeness and luck. |
Company: Your Choice
Our company has designed our signature wedding gown that highlights the love of nature. Our wedding gown carries lots of flowers that gives a refreshing feeling for the lovers. With the mystical design of nature’s spider-web pattern and snake-like hair set, our bride will have the most unforgettable wedding event of her own choice. |
