Bridal Fabrics
For many people planning a wedding, both professionally and as part of the bridal party or immediate family it’s the little details and touches which make a wedding stand out. Whether that might mean thoughtful and personalised favours or handmade stationery the wedding industry is increasingly focusing people on the smaller details and finishing touches.
Whilst, and rightly so, a bridal gown and grooms’ suit might be the main focus it can be easy to forget the importance of attendants outfits, fabric touches such as table runners and chair covers and decorative ribbons. With these items photographed as much as the main lady’s gown it is essential that it not only looks the part, matches the colours but will maintain the feel and theme of the day for many years to come.
Bridesmaid Dresses
For many years now the life of a bridesmaid has not been an easy one; increasingly stressed bride, duties throughout the day and let’s not get started on the dress. Looking back over many 1970s and 1980s weddings it might sometimes appear that the brides deliberately chose the most hideous of styles or linens so as to avoid losing focus. The modern bride knows however that if the entire bridal party looks good she looks good by proxy.
Selecting an attendants dress is very different to choosing a standard dress; there are many more factors involved than the usual “does it fit” and “does it look good”, although obviously these are vital factors. Additional qualities which should be looked at – for example, will it look elegant on photographs? Does it have a timeless quality so as to avoid the fate of the curtain looking dresses popular during the 70s?
The Right Fabric
Finding the right fabric for the dress or trimming is just as important as finding the right style of dress. Even the most flattering of styles might be badly fitting or not fall correctly if it is made with the wrong fabric. The textile industry recommends taking professional advice when selecting the materials for attendants, both adult and children as these experts will undoubtedly be aware of fabric choices and “cheats” which might give the same effect at a fractional budget.
