5 Best Satin Bridesmaid Dresses for Fabulously Fashionable Weddings

Satin bridesmaid dresses are a huge trend for this year and perfect for autumn, winter and spring weddings when the temperatures may be low and your attendants need to be comfortable.

And of course, not all countries have warm weather in the summer – so satin bridesmaid dresses can be perfect for all seasons, really!

The advantages of satin bridesmaid dresses

So before you start your search for the perfect bridesmaid dresses, it’s a good idea to decide what type of fabric will be best for the big day.

Just two of the main advantages of satin bridesmaid gowns is that they are very comfortable to wear and give a very classy feel to the wedding, which will be captured forever in lovely photos!

Satin is a synthetic fabric which resembles silk in having a discreet sheen to it, but it’s more substantial and heavier than silk.

This means that satin bridesmaid dresses can be more structured than chiffon and jersey dresses.

And from the bridesmaid’s point of view, satin is much cheaper than flimsy silk and a pretty, yet practical fabric that washes beautifully and needs little ironing.

Satin bridesmaid dresses are available in every color you can imagine and this gives you a lot of choice in buying color shades to suit the skin and hair tones of all your ‘maids.

Instead of having all of your bridesmaids wearing the exact same color and style, the latest trend is to choose a main color theme and then vary it by shade and style to flatter each of your bridesmaids perfectly!

This is an idea we should have thought of years ago, so a lot of fraught wedding planning meetings could have been avoided!

Choosing your bridal clothing is a happy time, and after you’ve selected your bridesmaids, you need to ensure they are all pleased with the dress they’ll be wearing.

As your bridesmaids will be paying for their dress, they will naturally want a style that suits their figure and a color they will enjoy wearing after the wedding.

And as bridesmaid groups are getting larger each year, you need a way to shop with your ‘maids’ that’s more convenient and fruitful than a couple of frantic visits to your local bridal shop on a busy Saturday!

There are lots of gorgeous, plus-size, burgundy satin bridesmaid dresses on offer this year!

Burgundy is part of the latest trend for terracotta, cognac, burgundy and burnt-orange bridesmaid dresses for autumn and winter weddings.

We recommend this lovely, long style with wide straps for plus-size comfort and excellent fit.

Strapless gowns are fine for smaller busts, but more generous sizes need strong support from well-fitting, broad straps.

This style has a lovely, sweetheart neckline to show off an attractive cleavage and an elegant pleated section across the hips and stomach.

The asymmetrical line is great for making hips appear slimmer and the pleats break up the line to make your tum appear smaller!

Floor-length satin bridesmaid dresses save you the problem of getting the exactly correct length to suit your maids and the heel-height they wear on the big day!

The trendy side-split is glamorous and makes it easy to walk and dance in a long dress that shows off a curvy figure beautifully! You can find more plus size burgundy satin bridesmaid dresses here.
