Let’s talk about fabrics!
When it comes to finding the perfect wedding dress, most brides fall head over heels not just for the style but for how a gown moves and feels. That all comes down to the fabric.
From sleek and minimalist fabrics to frothy and lightweight, each type of fabric brings its own texture, vibe, and drape to a wedding gown. So if you’re wondering what fabric to look for, we’re going to cover some of the most popular options for you to choose from!
Lace
Detailed, Romantic, and Timeless
Lace is the quintessential bridal gown fabric, and it’s what most brides tend to think of when they imagine their wedding dress. From vintage-inspired lace bridal gowns to modern boho chic styles, there’s a lace option for every bride’s aesthetic.

Casablanca
Style #2614C
This is a great fabric choice for traditional weddings, romantic settings, or adding elegant details to bodices or sleeves. It creates a romantic, vintage, and classic look all in one by adding delicate elements to the gown. Plus, it looks fabulous on wide variety of bridal silhouettes! What makes it so universally loved is its texture. It adds visual interest without adding too much bulk to the dress. Stretch lace is the most popular option because it adds that interest while maintaining comfort for movement on your wedding day.
Satin
Glamorous, Chic, and Smooth
Satin is lace’s cooler older sister, providing a structured and luxurious look to a wedding dress that drapes beautifully. It’s a fabulous choice for a ballroom wedding or creating a sophisticated and classic bridal style. This fabric has been a go-to for brides who want to feel elegant with a touch of old Hollywood style. It’s luxurious, smooth, and a bit heavier, which will give your dress that rich finish.

Satin is loved by brides for how it shapes the body, especially in ball gowns and A-line wedding dresses. It’s also wrinkle resistant, which is definitely a must on a day filled with hugs, dancing, and photo moments. You’ll love the polished and timeless look that photographs so beautifully.
Tulle
Light, Airy, and Ethereal
Tulle is the dreamy bride’s, well, dream come true! It’s lightweight and creates a fairytale-like feel that’s perfect for wedding dresses with flowy skirts. It’s a great choice for outdoor weddings, beach weddings, or any setting where you want a soft and flowy silhouette.

Stella York Plus Size
Style #8114
It’s a fabric that dreams are made of, and it’s not just for ballerinas or princesses (though you can certainly feel like one on your big day). Brides adore tulle wedding dresses because this fabric adds softness and volume without added heaviness. It’s often layered into skirts for a cloud effect or used in sleeves and veils. It’s not super structured, which makes it very versatile and looks gorgeous paired with beaded embellishments.
Each bride is unique, but these popular wedding dress fabrics tend to check off all the boxes, whether you’re looking for comfort, beauty, or movement. Whether you’re dreaming of floating down the aisle in a cloud of fabrics or want to make a grand entrance in smooth satin, choosing the right fabric can elevate your entire look.
