Where can I get embellishments added to dress?

I fell in love with two dresses and wish I could combine the elements into one.  I purchased the higher quality dress, but would like to add some beading embellishments to the front of the skirt like the other dress had.  Has anyone done this?  I looked for pre-made beading panels to buy, but couldn't find any.  Will I need to have it all hand done by a seamstress?

    I fell in love with a veil I saw here on the knot, but unfortunately it was an heirloom veil.  It was everything I was looking for in a veil, so I took the photos I found of it and showed it to the seamstress that is doing the alterations.  She said that we could totally help me make that.  I went out and found some beautiful bridal lace and for less than 75 dollars I will have a 2 tier veil with imported French lace.  I would completely recommend using a seamstress to make your gown the way you want it and how you have always envisioned it.  If you need a recommendation for a seamstress, please let me know!

    Hope this helps!

    I did it!  I fell in LOVE with my dress but it had NO sparkles and I needed sparkles!  Are you in Indianapolis?  If so, go to Melissa at...

    She did my dress, re-made my MIL's dress for my engaged SIL, and is making my bridesmaid dress for the SIL's wedding.  Competetive prices and the best work.  I used to work in fashion and would take my clothes nowhere else, no matter what!

    Thanks for the replies.  I have a seamstress in Speedway, but I haven't talked to her yet about doing my dress.  Where did you find the beading and sparkles to add to your dress?
