The Regal Opulence of Jacquard & Brocade Wedding Dresses

For the bride who desires a look of unparalleled luxury and rich, textural beauty, a wedding dress crafted from jacquard or brocade is a truly regal choice. These opulent fabrics are defined by their intricately woven patterns, creating a look of timeless, formal elegance.


A Legacy of Woven Artistry

Jacquard and brocade are luxurious fabrics distinguished by their woven-in patterns, rather than patterns printed on the surface. **Jacquard** refers to any fabric with such an intricate, woven design. **Brocade** is a specific, heavier type of jacquard, often featuring raised, multi-colored or metallic threads that give it a richly embroidered appearance. Both are perfect for creating structured, high-fashion looks.

These fabrics are a favorite for designers like Sottero and Midgley for crafting dramatic ball gowns and elegant A-line silhouettes. Their inherent body and weight create stunning, clean lines and a sense of grandeur perfect for a formal celebration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jacquard & Brocade Gowns

Are jacquard and brocade dresses heavy to wear?

The structure they provide often means fewer underlayers are needed, so the overall weight can be quite comfortable. They are an excellent choice for a formal wedding in any season.

What silhouettes work best with these fabrics?

Because of their structured nature, jacquard and brocade are ideal for silhouettes that require shape and volume. They are most famously used to create stunning A-lines and ball gowns. They can also be used for more tailored fit-and-flare styles for a very high-fashion look.

How do you alter a jacquard or brocade gown?

Altering these heavy, woven fabrics requires a high level of skill. Our master seamstress alterations team has extensive experience working with these materials, ensuring that every seam is perfectly tailored to maintain the integrity of the pattern and the structure of the gown.

How should I style a jacquard or brocade wedding dress?

Often, the fabric itself is the main statement. For a gown with a rich, intricate pattern, simple and classic accessories are best. Consider elegant pearl earrings or a simple, clean-lined veil. The goal is to complement the dress, not compete with it.

What kind of wedding party attire complements these fabrics?

The formal, luxurious feel of jacquard and brocade pairs beautifully with a classically styled wedding party. Consider sophisticated, classic bridesmaid dresses in a rich color palette and timeless classic fit tuxedos for the gentlemen.
