Default Attaching embroidery to wedding dress

I have been asked to add some embroidery to a wedding dress bought from a charity shop. The bride to be does not want a traditional white dress (why she bought this particular dress I know not - perhaps it was cheap). She has chosen an open design of flowers and leaves. The design is very delicate and is about 12" long. I had intended sewing it out on organza with soluable stabaliser. What I am not sure of is how to attach it to the dress. Should I use bondaweb? How would I get round the stickiness on the open fretwork of the design? I have to add about 5 or 6 designs to this dress. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
