From the moment you see the ring in a velvet lined box peering up at you from the hand of the man you love who is on their knees proposing, once over the delight and shock, and of course saying yes, the first thought you have is planning your special day. What dress are you going to have? Will you buy one, or have one made? What colour will it be? Will it be long, short, plain or patterned? Here at Calico Laine we have a wide variety of Bridal Fabrics for you to choose from.

Ivory Duchess Satin[/caption]
We all know how difficult it is choosing colour schemes for not only for your fairytale dress, but also for the flock of bridesmaids you've dreamed of having from the age of three. My Favourite Bridal Fabric is duchess satin as it is an classic and radiant fabric which is used to create exquisite couture bridal gowns. In centuries gone by this fabric was only for those blessed with wealth and was the chosen fabric for many royal garments. Wedding dresses have been made from duchess satin for generations since it was first imported from Zaytun, China. Now, duchess satin is one of the most popular Bridal Fabrics available on the market, with it being a heavy weight fabric it is ideal for extra special structured designs, making it the perfect fabric for wedding gowns.

Light Mint Extra Wide Chiffon[/caption]
A popular choice for bridesmaids are elegant capped sleeved dresses in pastel shades, whether you want all of them the same colour or you want one of each. This summer I would suggest using our beautiful range of extra wide chiffon as it is a light weight fabric and to give it a slight twist you could use our lace fabrics to give the bodice and the sleeves a little more pizazz.
To find these fabrics you can go to the Bridal Fabrics sub heading at the top of our page and there will be a list of different fabrics types to choose from. If you are unsure on any of the colours we do offer a fantastic sample service.
