While many brides love the traditional wedding gown textures and fabrics, we’ve found that many are considering something less traditional for their wedding day. And we love that! Back in the day, wedding gowns tended to come in just satin or silk with simple silhouettes. These days, brides are wearing brighter colors, sparkles, and a wide variety of fun textures that make them feel unique!
Today, we’re going to show you some of our favorite non-traditional wedding dress textures that we feature in our shop here at Modern Brides in Huntsville, AL.
CREPE
Crepes come in a variety of textures, weights, and draping styles. Compared to thick crepe, thin crepe is smooth and elastic; thick crepe is gauzy and crinkled. In spite of its wide range of weights and textures, crepe fabric is usually regarded as a luxurious fabric for wedding dresses, evening gowns, and romantic accessories. There is a long, graceful silhouette to a wedding dress made of crepe.
With it alone, you can create a clean, bright appearance, but you can also enhance it with illusions, lace, and shimmer - perfect for a nontraditional bride. There is nothing more flattering than a crepe gown when worn with appropriate undergarments that support your curves flawlessly!

Sequins are a fantastic detail that makes a wedding dress feel special and unique, which is apparent with this stunning Evie Young gown. With its natural waistline, v-neckline, and universally flattering A-line silhouette, this dress will move beautifully with you on your big day. The sequin tulle and delicate spaghetti straps are glitzy yet perfectly romantic!
ORGANZA
Dresses and skirts with volume will feature organza because of its incredible drape. Despite its sheer appearance, organza is extremely strong! Silk is traditionally used to make it. There are synthetic and natural organza fabrics available today. The stiff material with a subtle sheen suits both evening gowns and wedding dresses. There are a lot of designers who use printed organza with fabrics such as taffeta and satin.
