Considering something a little less traditional for your wedding? Totally okay! We're here to give you permission! In the past, wedding dresses were always silk or satin and had an A-line shape. Many brides are wearing colors, sparkles, and fun textures these days! This is super cool because it's fashion-forward and a great way to surprise your guests. It adds interest to a gorgeous wedding gown when you wear a non-traditional texture. We at Mariella Creations in Connecticut have rounded up some of our favorite non-traditional wedding dress textures to choose from, whether you're going classic white or bold:
ORGANZA
Because of its incredible drape, designers will incorporate organza into dresses and skirts with volume. Organza is super strong, despite its sheer appearance! It's traditionally made from silk. Nowadays, you can buy both natural and synthetic organza fabrics. Evening gowns and wedding dresses alike love this stiff material with a subtle sheen. Printed organza is great with other fabrics like taffeta and satin, and a lot of designers use it.

If you want to wear a gorgeous organza gown for your wedding, consider this stunning fit and flare from Love By Bridal Collective. It’s the epitome of chic romance! In matte Mikado, the whimsical detail adds texture to the minimalist gown, while body-contouring seams keep it fitted throughout the hips into a flare skirt trimmed in multilayered organza and tulle ruffles. Make a statement with a sleek bodice and an eye-catching skirt!
CREPE
There are many different textures, weights, and draping styles available when it comes to crepes. Thin crepe is gauzy and crinkled, while thick crepe is smooth and elastic. Even though crepe fabric comes in different weights and textures, it is usually a luxurious choice for wedding dresses, evening gowns, and romantic accessories. A wedding dress made of crepe has a long and graceful silhouette.
A clean, bright look is possible with it alone, but it can also be enhanced with illusions, lace, and shimmer - perfect for a non-traditional bride. When paired with proper undergarments that support your curves flawlessly, crepe gowns are one of the world's most flattering non-traditional fabrics!
