Silk comes in a variety of styles, like silk organza for sheerness, or chiffon silk for overlays and sleeves. Silk's creamy appearance has made it a benchmark at weddings.

Budget

Acetate satin or taffeta is great for the base of a wedding dress. They both wrinkle easier than other fabrics, but are considerably less expensive.
