Whether you prefer a casual, strapless dress or a fancy, embellished one, the fabric of your wedding gown should be your first consideration. It’s very important and crucial to know the different types of fabrics before starting the designing process. Bridal dress fabrics are slightly different than the ones used for evening dresses. Different aspects come into play when it comes to customizing your wedding dress, the top of which being the fabric! In this blog post, we will discuss the top steps for a made-to-measure wedding dress and how to choose the right fabric!
1- Know your Body Type
No matter what your personal preferences are, you need to abide by what looks best on your body type. Choosing the right wedding dress silhouette can be a struggle, but so is choosing the fabric. If you have a slim waist and wider hips, chances are you’ll want to highlight your waist and hide your curves. Whereas if you have an hourglass shape and you want to show it off, you’ll most likely go with a mermaid style.
Designers have their own preferences and opinions on what materials are best for certain styles of dresses. The most popular fabrics used to make bridal gowns are silk, satin and lace; they all have their own properties that make them special. Cony by Plume by Esposa is designed of Chantilly lace with a square neckline and thick straps. The gown cascades in an A-line style and is beaded delicately in shining sequins.
2- Consider the grandiose of the occasion!
Aside from your body shape, it’s important to keep in mind the type of wedding you’re hosting. If you’re planning a big wedding with a large audience, then you’ll probably need to elevate your bridal look using the right fabrics. It’d up to you if you’d want to incorporate beading and embellishment, or if you’d like to keep it simple and let the fabric do the elegant talking!
Corine by Plume by Esposa for example is the perfect wedding dress for an extravagant bridal theme. It incorporates the perfect fabric play and and the softest embroidery and beading. The tight corset is fully embellished with shining beads and sequins, a stunning sweetheart neckline and a layered skirt with lace details.
3- Full Glam and Beads!
Now if you want to go full glam, then beads and sequins are your best friends! You can choose organza fabric, or evening tulle, and cover it with hand-beaded details to showcase the stunning details.
Take Camil by Esposa for example, a stunning mermaid beaded dress with a detachable over skirt. The dress on its own offers an elegant and sophisticated bridal look, then comes the extravagant over-skirt with its royal train. This style of wedding gowns is perfect if you’re entertaining a large audience and you want to show off your glamorous side. It’s also perfect for the brides who like to have two different bridal look as you’re getting a 2in1 style!
4- Keep it Simple and Classy!

Mikado fabric is a shiny and extraordinarily bright material that adds a special touch to the bridal look. It makes the bride look glamorous all while staying comfortable and elegant.
