In recent years we have witnessed a significant rise in the number of engaged couples looking to marry abroad with this trend being attributed to a number of factors such as the down turn in the economy and the increase in the cost of hosting a wedding and a reception at home. To save valuable funds, many couples are choosing to combine the cost of their wedding and their honeymoon by opting for an overseas wedding package. When marrying in warmer climates you will of course want to stay as cool and comfortable as possible during your ceremony and for this reason we recommend that you consider our Lightweight Fabrics when thinking about the design of your gown.
We carry a wide range of Lightweight Fabrics suitable for creating your dream bridal gown all of which work wonderfully alone or as an overlay alongside our other dressmaking fabrics. Lace has long been one of our most popular Lightweight Fabrics for weddings and has experienced a high resurgence over the last few years. A delicate and feminine fabric, lace is the perfect choice for a beach wedding. Heavy corded lace, despite its name, is still a particularly Lightweight Fabric which works wonderfully alongside a number of other dressmaking fabrics for creating a delicate and feminine gown. Lace does not have to feature as the main fabric but can be used for adding a point of interest to your gown such as an ornate neckline or hem.
Organza is a particularly elegant choice of Lightweight Fabric for destination weddings; very similar in appearance to genuine silk this delicate fabric is perfect for elegant, flowing bridal gowns and works particularly well for beach ceremonies. Constructed from a thin, plain weave this sheer fabric mimics the look and feel of genuine silk and is perfect for creating princess style wedding dresses. Organza is the perfect choice of Lightweight Fabric for adding volume to skirts and beautiful decorative features.
