Modifications
I decided to consult some of them thar wedding magazines and blogs for some ideas. With clothes in general, I'm really into layering, asymmetry, and interesting details - the patchy, lacy Anthropologie aesthetic fills out the inside of my brain. (In practice, I wear a basic v or scoop tees with tank tops under them. BORING.) After some sketching and consideration, I decided I wanted to find a dress that was slightly shorter, and add length to it with some new pieces.
The company who made my dress allows you to order extra fabric in any color. So I chose to have the dress made in a turquoise, and ordered extra fabrics in aqua and a pale lime green.
When I was shopping for shoes, I was really looking for a shoe with a scalloped edge.. And I had an epiphany! YES! I should make two scalloped hems for the dress. And I did.
