Decorate the bride more exotically (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embroider

'decorate' is the definition.
(I know that embroider is a more specific form of decorate)

'bride more exotically' is the wordplay.
'exotically' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'bride'+'more'='bridemore'
'bridemore' is an anagram of 'EMBROIDER'.

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for embroider that I've seen before include "Add (fictitious) detail to" , "Embellish (with needlework?)" , "Dress up" , "Exaggerate" , "stitch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
