What Is a Satin Wedding Dress?

• Satin is a type of textile weave that produces a glossy, soft, and lustrous material. It’s commonly used for formal, black tie clothing with unique structural details.
• The pros of this fabric: it’s luxurious, versatile, smooth, and easy to take care of.
• Satin is one of the most common fabrics for wedding dresses. It’s luxe, regal, and ideal for creating timeless, elegant silhouettes.
• Satin can come in an array of different styles, silhouettes, and colors
• Our collections feature satin wedding dresses in bold and romantic colors, including black, champagne, ivory, diamond white, red, and ice pink.
• Our collections also feature stretch satin: a shiny fabric with more elasticity compared to other types of satin. This creates more of a dreamy boho feel.
• We also adore Mikado satin: a heavier structural weave that’s ideal for supporting shapes, statement details, and black-tie silhouettes.

Sexy Satin Wedding Gown Darius by Maggie Sottero

Starting off with a pure and elegant classic, Darius by Maggie Sottero is the perfect showcase of satin, shimmer, and silhouette. This A-line wedding gown features stunning off-the-shoulder details, artful ruching, and a side slit in the skirt. (One of our top trends from our latest wedding gown collections.) It’s a lovely combination of softness and structure, detail and simplicity, and ultra-feminine flourishes.

We love the Old Hollywood vibes in Darius. It’s red carpet meets modern muse — effortless to style and foolproof for any season. Your bridal portraits will look absolutely timeless.

We also love Darius’s versatility for accessories. Wear minimalist jewelry and a loose hairdo for that “just waltzed out of a fairy forest” effect, or choose a polished updo and statement embellishments for more formal, regal vibes. We’re smitten with both!

To make Darius your own, accessorize with one of our bridal veils. This silhouette would look gorgeous with a variety of lengths, styles, and details from our latest collections.
