Sultry silk wedding dresses

Sultry silk wedding dresses

If you’re not one for tons of detail and over-the-top design, a silk wedding dress may just be the perfect fit. This fabric is luxurious and glamorous all on its own, and needs very little to take it to the next level.

Silk is a natural protein fibre produced by insect larvae to create cacoons. While many insects can produce silk, it is the fibre of the moth caterpillar that is traditionally used in textiles. The fibre is woven into the fabric we know today, and gets its shimmering appearance thanks to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre that refracts incoming light at various angles.

Silk works best for a paired down look. Opt for a simple frame like a slip or A-line gown to use the fabric to its best potential. Because of its delicate nature, it drapes beautifully so silk looks especially stunning when used to create a cowl-neck.

Here are some some dresses to show that silk can be used in a variety of ways to produce any style you want.

THIS is how you serve high fashion, but make it bridal 👏🏿  @Jacquemus released their SS21 collection a few days ago and it featured so many stunning pieces in cream hues.  Of course I love how minimal these looks are, but what REALLY caught my attention was their use of edgy silhouettes and accents to add personality to the collection. I would undoubtedly style a Bride looking for something simple yet bold in any of these looks, especially for pre-wedding events such as a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner.  Are you feeling these looks from the @jacquemus #SS21 collection? My favorites are # 1 and # 3. Which are your favorite and would you wear any of these as a bridal or pre-bridal look?  P.S. It's Moodboard Monday and I'm getting into all things Minimal bridal style in my stories today. Check out my stories or my 'Moodboards' highlight to get into this minimal style inspo and let me know what you think!
