Bridesmaid dresses can be made in many different fabrics, from linen and cotton to silk, satin, and tulle. Depending on where you’re holding your wedding, the season, and the time of day, you may want to pick a cooler or warmer fabric.
- Weather: If there’s a chance of a rainy wedding day, avoid styles like satin gowns that can easily show water marks.
- Temperature: For outdoor weddings, look for breathable, flowy fabrics like linen and shorter hemlines.
- Overall aesthetic: A silk bridesmaid dress is a beautiful fabric choice for formal weddings, beaded gowns are glamorous for evening affairs, and velvet is a luxe look especially for winter weddings.
- Season: Embrace your seasonal celebration and pick rich colors and fabrics for fall weddings or lightweight, flowy fabrics like gauze and tulle for spring weddings.
