How to Choose Your Maternity Wedding Dress Fabric

Now that maternity weddings are trendy, there's more choice than ever before of maternity wedding dress fabric.

When you're planning your maternity wedding, you need to think just as carefully about the fabric of your wedding dress as the style of the dress itself.

The same maternity bridal gown in different fabrics will look and feel quite different!

I've researched which fabrics the top designers are using in their collections to bring you my tips ... so get yourself a relaxing cup of (herbal!) tea, put your feet up and enjoy.

My Favourite Fabrics for Maternity Wedding Dresses are

Pure Silky Satin

A dense glossy bridal gown fabric with fabulous sheen and lovely draping qualities.

It's equally suited to formal and informal weddings. A silk satin maternity wedding dress like the fabulously opulent Aphrodite gown shown here is guaranteed to make you feel like a princess on your wedding day.

Duchess Satin

A dense, smooth wedding gown fabric with lustrous sheen; often used for simple designs or gowns with heavy beading or embroidery.

Gauzy Woven Silks including chiffon, tulle and organza

These enchanting, ultra-feminine wedding dress fabrics are delicate and make for very romantic bridal gowns.

Transparent and lightweight, they are simply perfect for giving your gown a pretty, floaty look or for creating movement.

They're often used for very full skirts with many layers and for veils.

My absolute favourite chiffon maternity wedding dress is the dreamy Sparkle gown which is a big hit with visitors to this site!

Silk Dupion

Also known as rough Thai silk ... is a beautiful, lightweight, textured fabric.

Lace

Traditionally made by hand and thus very expensive and exclusive. Lace is a beautiful, lightweight openwork wedding dress fabric, often made today by machine.

Modern lace can also be stretchy ... great news for the pregnant bride hoping for a bit of 'give' in her maternity wedding dress!
