There’s a lot that goes into crafting the perfect couture wedding dress, and one of the most important factors is the fabric. From delicate lace to luxurious satin, the fabric you choose will affect the overall comfort, style, and vibe of your bridal gown. It’s not just about how the dress looks on the hanger - it’s about how it drapes on your curves, how it moves, and how it complements your overall wedding aesthetic. For today’s blog, we’re going to talk about some of the key fabrics we use in our couture wedding dresses and highlight some beautiful styles from our collection.
Lace
Lace is by far one of the most popular wedding dress fabric types, and for good reason. It comes in a variety of weights, patterns, and textures, making it perfect for everything from romantic accents to covering gowns from head to toe. You’ll find a beautiful selection of lace bridal gowns in our collection in all types of silhouettes - it’s really universally flattering!

Satin
Satin is a smooth, heavy fabric with a high sheen on the outside of the fabric. It’s one of the most popular wedding dress fabrics, even though it’s technically more of a finish rather than a specific material. Satin has a glossy finish that adds a glamorous effect to wedding dresses with clean draping. It’s absolutely breathtaking on a chic sheath wedding dress in particular.

Crepe
Lightweight, slightly textured, and matte, crepe is an elegant fabric with a drape effect similar to silk but with a bit more structure. It’s made with silk, but it can also be made with everything from wool to cotton. It works well for a variety of seasons and it’s highly wrinkle resistant, making it a perfect choice for a wedding dress that might be traveling for a destination wedding. We love crepe on any silhouette, but it especially pops on a fit and flare or softly structured A-line wedding gown.

Chiffon
Chiffon is a light, airy material often used as a sheer accent over a heavier fabric, though it can certainly be used alone in layers. It has a dreamy, lightweight effect that feels perfect for a whimsical wedding dress for a boho chic aesthetic. We love a flowy A-line chiffon wedding dress for a wedding in warmer months.
