Why should you choose a tulle bridesmaid dress?

Though composed of fine, stiff netting, tulle is an incredibly light, airy, and elegant fabric. It drapes beautifully, lending a delicate lively quality to any design that features it.

Tulle designs come in a wide variety of prices, available in fabrics such as silk, nylon, and rayon. However, tulle which has embellishments on it, including beading or crystals, will likely cost more than a plain alternative. Alterations for tulle dresses can also be expensive if there are several layers of tulle within the piece to work on.

Is tulle comfortable?

Tulle is lightweight and won’t make for a very heavy dress design. However, for some of the dresses that feature very full tulle skirts, your bridal party may need to get accustomed to moving around in the piece, as it takes up more space than the average dress.

There’s an almost instant reaction when you slip into something made of tulle. Your walk becomes more of a float. You might even have the urge to twirl, and we don’t blame you. That’s the kind of feeling the stiff-yet-delicate fabric evokes. Naturally, it’s a common choice for many wedding dresses, but it’s worth exploring tulle options for your bridal party, as well.

Tulle bridesmaid dresses work great for any wedding with an ethereal and super romantic theme, but they’re not strictly limited to that aesthetic either. Styling choices can also make tulle pieces look a bit more pared-back, modern, or grounded. That said, if you’re all about that floating feeling, more power to you.

Ahead, explore tulle bridesmaid options for all kinds of budgets and styles.
