Silk Wedding Dresses

Most brides have a vision of the perfect wedding dress – whether it’s made from lace, chiffon, organza or another fabric. Of all the available dress options out there to choose from, there’s no denying that silk wedding dresses are among the most elegant. These shiny, flowing, luxurious garments are somehow both sleek and modern while also being classic and timeless. Plus, silk allows for natural movement and breathability, making it an ideal fabric to wear as you dance the night away in celebration of your special day.

No matter what style dress silhouette appeals to you – mermaid cut, A-line, ball gown or sheath – there are a variety of innovative ways to involve the benefits of silk into your bridal attire. Let’s explore some possibilities.

Consider a Simple Silk Wedding Dress

Some of our favorite silk wedding dress styles include classic sheaths and flared mermaid gowns. Because the material has such a beautiful natural presence, there’s no need to glam it up with a lot of accents and embellishments. The stylish flow of a simple silk wedding dress can flatter and enhance your entire wedding look all on its own. You are likely to leave your wedding guests (and your partner!) gushing in admiration. Your wedding photographs will also look terrific.

If a silk wedding dressisn’t your style, no problem. You can always opt for a gown made from another material that includes silk accents. Imagine how dreamy you’ll look and feel walking down the aisle with a silk-based neckline, sleek panels or other shiny embellishments.

How to Find the Ideal Silk Wedding Dress

Start by following these tried-and-true tips from our wedding experts. First, get started early. Not all brides find the perfect dress right away, so you should leave plenty of time to shop around. You’ll also want to calculate your wedding budget before you get started since there are many expenses when planning a wedding – and they add up quickly.

While shopping, be open to all style possibilities. It’s often helpful to ask the opinion(s) of trusted friends and family members – but always keep in mind that this ultimately is your decision. Choose a dress that makes you feel absolutely fabulous.
