Popular Fabrics: Silk Voile
~by Nancy
One of the most recent and popular fabrics for wedding gowns is called silk voile, more commonly known as satin faced organza. Throughout the past year, this light-weight fabric has become a favorite of top-name designers (including Badgley Mischka, Vineyard Collection, Liancarlo, Tara Keely, and Rivini). Many designers needed to find something – due to the recent economy– that was as elegant as more expensive fabrics (such as silk satin), but that would cost less. Satin faced organza was the solution! The fabric is so light, a breeze can easily pick it up; it flows and flutters with every movement of the bride. The gossamer fabric is not as flamboyant as satin –the shimmer is soft and ethereal. When lined with taffeta, satin faced organza creates a very light and lovely noise. For brides who are looking for an elegant gown, but need to be prudent with cost, this fabric is a wonderful alternative!
The following gowns (by Rivini and Tara Keely) are made with satin faced organza, and are available through Avenía Bridal.
