Light as Air: The Best Fabrics for a Spring or Summer 2026 Wedding Dress

Are you dreaming of a spring or summer 2026 wedding? If so, we know you’re envisioning sunshine, gentle breezes, and feeling radiant as you walk down the aisle. The last thing you want is to feel weighed down by your wedding dress on such a beautiful day. That’s why we’re diving into some fabric options that will have you floating through your celebration with ease and elegance. 


Tulle
Tulle is synonymous with bridal romance for a reason. This delicate, sheer netting creates volume without weight, giving you that dreamy, fairytale effect. It's incredibly versatile, perfect for soft A-line skirts that sway with every step or intricate overlays that add depth and texture. 


Sequin Lace Appliques
Who says "light" can't also mean "luminous?” Sequin lace appliques bring a subtle, sophisticated sparkle to your gown without being heavy or over-the-top. These intricate details are often applied to sheer fabrics like tulle or organza, allowing for a breathtaking shimmer that moves with you.


Glitter Tulle
For brides who want to truly shine, glitter tulle is your new best friend. This fabric incorporates fine glitter directly into the tulle, creating an all-over sparkle that is both playful and luxurious. It offers the same airy feel as traditional tulle but with an extra dose of magic.


Now, let's look at some gorgeous gowns from our collection that perfectly embody these light-as-air qualities:
