One of the most important aspects of a beautiful and well-made wedding dress is the choice of materials.
For the last couple of years, plain fabrics such as mikados or silks have been a feature choice in wedding dress trends. This is not surprising after a few years dominated by heavily embellished laces.
There are many plain fabrics ideal to use for wedding dresses, from soft falling lightweight chiffons, medium weight draping satins to heavy crepes or structured mikados to luxurious silks. All beautiful and very different offering a great variety of use and creativity.
We have created many unique bespoke wedding dresses for our brides with plain fabrics that convey a simpler, cleaner aesthetic. The emphasis is often on the internal structure, supportive bodice, and delicate detailing. It’s often all about silk if the bride really would like the luxurious end of the market.
Our Bridal Studio sources fabrics from all around the world with established suppliers that we have known for many years. This is very important when buying high-value fabrics such as silks. Sik is organic fiber and needs to be processed, woven, and pre-treated in a particular way before being ready for use.
why silk?
Silk has been universally sought after for thousands of years and is still a very popular option for wedding gowns due to its lustrous quality. The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fiber, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles.
