Fabrics

The ombre wedding dress is a nontraditional trend making waves in an industry known for conservatism. Brides looking to express themselves and create a distinctive look should consider opting for dip-dyed ombre gowns as an expression of their individuality and character.

Step one in crafting an ombre dress is selecting the appropriate fabric. Silk satin has long been considered an industry standard due to its sheen; however, other silk fabrics like dupioni and chiffon can also create stunning effects when used together for incredible results. Chiffon fabric offers lightweight comfort in warm temperatures while working beautifully for flowing silhouettes like sheath or fit-and-flare dresses; it can easily be draped for fuller looks when layering is desired.

If you prefer something with more structure, silk zibeline may be an excellent choice. Woven from straight fibers, this constructed silk is more durable than satin and can accommodate constructed styles such as ruched or ball gown shapes. Plus, its range of colors makes it the ideal fabric choice for summer or spring weddings!

Silk taffeta may be the ideal fabric choice for winter weddings. Durable and more cost-effective than silk, it adds texture to your gown while remaining affordable. Coming in an array of colors with a sheen that complements many bridal shoes – making silk taffeta a smart, budget-conscious choice!

Accessories

Brides this year have been opting for bold and dramatic looks, particularly those featuring ombre wedding dresses. Ombre is a graduated color scheme that can be applied to almost any dress style; dyeing the garment, adding lace or embroidery, incorporating different textures, and dyeing it are all methods used to achieve it. Darker hues such as blue, purple, and black work best for brides seeking nontraditional wedding gowns, while paler pastel hues work better with feminine, modern looks.

Make an impressionful statement on your special day with an eye-catching ombre train, perfect for brides wanting to draw attention to their back or add extra charm during their formal walk down the aisle.

Layered ombre gowns add drama with trains composed of various colored tulle. For added effect, this train may feature delicate lace floral motifs to tie into your wedding day color scheme.

Other details to enhance an ombre wedding dress include sleeves, necklines, and lengths. Lace is a timeless classic, but you could also go for more modern and off-the-shoulder or strapless gowns instead. A scoop neckline will flatter your decolletage while creating a deeper V shape on your collarbones, while butterfly hemlines that look like wings when raising arms add some fun whimsy, while cap sleeves can add classic yet petite features that complete any gown look.
