Silk and satin wedding dresses

Silk and satin give a wedding dress sheen, a soft drape and an elegant, timeless look. Because the fabric carries the dress, it does not need much embellishment. At Karim Design in Copenhagen, we design silk and satin wedding dresses in several silhouettes – see them among all our wedding dresses in Copenhagen.

The difference between silk and satin

Silk is a natural fibre with a soft drape and a subtle sheen. Satin is a weave that gives the fabric a smooth surface and a more pronounced sheen. Some of our satin dresses have a little stretch, so the dress follows the body. The difference is easiest to see when you have the fabrics on.

Silk wedding dresses

Imelda is a slim column dress in silk with a bateau neckline and a low, draped back. Bella is an A-line dress in silk with a bateau neckline, wide straps and a deep V-back, and Parisa is a column dress in silk and satin with a halter neck.

Satin wedding dresses

In A-line we have, among others, Rina with a square neckline, Venzia with a V-neck and a deep V-back, Juliette with a draped, strapless bodice and Elena with a train. If you prefer a slim silhouette, take a look at Leah with spaghetti straps and Anais with a cowl neckline and a high slit.

For the grand entrance, we have the princess dresses Calista with a corset bodice, Sabrina with an off-the-shoulder neckline and Zinnia with a high halter neck. Cameo is a simple mermaid dress in satin.

Silk and satin on the day

Silk and satin look their best in daylight and in movement, when the light catches the fabric. After the wedding, we can help with cleaning the dress.

Costume Design or Couture Made

All our made-to-order dresses are made to your measurements. As Costume Design, the dress is made to your three measurements – bust, waist and hips – and production typically takes 3–4 months. As Couture Made, it is created entirely from scratch to your full measurements and typically takes 6–9 months. Wedding dresses from DKK 7,900 – Couture Made from DKK 25,000.
