      Hi Shannon keogh cha cha

      hmmmmm I think they’re are loads you can use! depends what type of wedding dress you’re after!

      Satin – which is normally made from silk – is shiney and floaty – so is really good for ball gowns. (though it tends to crease because of who its made – so you need a steamer on hand)

      Organza – is very fluffy with lots of volume – so some people like it because its really big

      If i had to wear a wedding dress i think id choose kelvar – then i could be a super spy at the same time and be bullet proof on my wedding day.

      Hope that answers your question – let me know if you want to know more!

      Hi Shannon Keogh Cha Cha!

      The best material for a wedding dress? Well the strangest but coolest looking wedding dress material that I have seen is toilet paper (http://www.destinationweddingmag.com/sites/destinationweddingmag.com/files/styles/medium_1x_/public/import/embedded/files/_images/201207/third_place_-_jennifer.jpg?itok=RWnmysnM)!

      Somehow I doubt that would be the best material for rainy days in Ireland, so I think the best material would be cloth that we have already! Although I do love the idea of using recycled material to make a wedding dress.. so maybe a mix of cloth and recycled things?

      I am in to alternative wedding dresses so I don’t care what it is made of once I get to wear my red Hi-Top converse underneath! 😉
