Understanding wedding dress fabrics is crucial to choosing a gown that matches your vision and comfort. Here's a breakdown of the most common fabrics and how they feel:

 

Silk Mikado – A luxurious, heavier fabric with a smooth finish, perfect for clean, sculptural styles.

Tulle – Light and airy, often used for skirts or veils. Adds volume without weight.

Crepe – Sleek and stretchy with a matte finish. Ideal for modern, body-hugging silhouettes.

Chiffon – Flowy and breathable. Often used in destination or boho-style gowns.

Organza – Similar to tulle, but stiffer and more structured. Adds drama and shape.

Lace – Available in styles like Chantilly, Alençon, or Guipure. Adds texture and romance.

Satin – Smooth and shiny, giving a timeless, elegant feel. Works well with ball gowns.

 

Knowing your fabric helps narrow down the best dresses for your wedding vibe and season.
