CUSTOM WEDDING GOWN MATERIALS

Satin

OrganzaThis is one of the most popular types of wedding dress fabrics, likely because of its versatility. The term “satin” actually describes the finish of the fabric rather than the material itself, and satin may be made from 100 percent silk, 100 percent polyester, or a combination of both. This is a heavy, durable fabric, and it is ideal for structured gowns or brides getting married in the cooler months. Satin made from pure, natural fibers is breathable, but it is also susceptible to wrinkling.

Chiffon

Because chiffon is created from light woven fibers, chiffon is commonly chosen as an overlay for another more sturdy material. Its gauzy appearance also makes it perfect for delicate fabric rosette embellishments on a gown. Chiffon is a lightweight, sheer fabric that is usually made from either silk or nylon. While it is incredibly beautiful, chiffon is very susceptible to snagging, and the edges of the fabric may fray if not finished properly.

Organza

Also commonly made from silk, organza is another lightweight, transparent fabric that is a popular choice for brides. Organza provides the same gauzy appearance as chiffon, but it is much more structured, allowing it to serve more purposes than overlays and accents. This fabric is a great choice for brides who are getting married in warmer months, however, like chiffon, this delicate material snags easily.

Tulle

Tulle is a durable, yet lightweight fabric that is commonly used to create veils, and it can also be incorporated into your dress to provide an airy, delicate aesthetic. Multiple layers of tulle may be used to create a plush, bouncy skirt, or tulle can be gathered in ruches to give a gown more structure. This net-like fabric offers slightly more transparency than chiffon and organza, but it offers a bit more structure.


Lace

If you want your custom wedding gown to exude a sense of timeless elegance, nothing will accomplish the task better than lace. This versatile material is commonly used as an overlay on wedding gowns, and it is available in a wide variety of styles, from heavy textures to delicate patterns and designs. Lace can also be incorporated into the neckline and hem of your gown to create a look that is gracefully feminine.
