If you're getting hitched somewhere warm, or you want to feel comfortable during a summer wedding - this is the bridal fabric guide for you.
If you’re planning a summer wedding or destination wedding, it’s likely the weather during your nuptials will be warm, even in the UK. This means fabrics should be chosen carefully. Otherwise, you might end up spending the entire day rather uncomfortable.
The Best Fabrics to Wear For a Summer Wedding
Here’s a list of the best fabrics for any bride or bridesmaid preparing for a summer wedding.
Chiffon
This is a sheer, lightweight fabric and is usually layered or used as an accent on gowns. It’s ethereal and drapes beautifully. If you’re having a beach wedding, select a gown made from chiffon. You’ll look so glam when your gown blows in the ocean breeze!
Illusion Net
This is a sheer fabric often used to add a unique detail or element to a gown. Sleeves, necklines, and backs in this material are all popular choices for designers. If you want to show a bit of skin while still feeling supported, go for illusion detailing.
Organza
If you want a look with a bit more structure, that’s still lightweight, organza is the summer bridal fabric for you! This material gives off such a romantic feel with its glistening finish. Frequently used to intensify fullness on skirts or lengthy trains.
Crêpe
Crêpe is a durable and lightweight silk fabric that drapes in a really chic way. It’s flattering as it has a clean and crisp appearance that falls elegantly. And it's perfect if you want to avoid structured silhouettes, and prefer instead something softer. It’s also not usually layered with anything else, so it would be the ideal fabric for a summer wedding.
Tulle
This fabric creates the most beautiful bridal. Often used underneath dresses to add volume to the bottom half. Light and delicate, and it can be used in so many ways. If you find a dress with layers of tiered tulle, you know you're going to create a romantic look.
This fabric is perfect for a summer wedding if you’re a bride who wants to make the most of her princess walk down the aisle, but without all the heavy layers. Although it may not be too practical on the beach…
