When you hear the word ‘wedding’ and all the connotations of it, we wouldn’t be surprised if visions of satin bridesmaid dresses floating down the aisle come to mind.
The silky soft, luxe-looking fabric is the most popular among bridal parties, because it does all the jobs silk does without the super spenny price tag attached. A dream for brides-to-be on a strict budget. Jewel tones, pastels or neutral palettes…satin bridesmaid dresses come in every hue and pattern under the sun, and will complement the texture of your wedding dress, regardless of whether you’ve opted for lace, tulle, chiffon or crepe.
Satin is a heavy hitter amongst the fashion pack, too. Coperni’s now iconic Disneyland Paris runway saw Kylie Jenner close the brand’s show in a striking satin ballgown for SS25, and Dries Van Noten brought the slip dress back to life with striking greens and oranges.

With the fabric and colour covered, what about the style of your bridesmaid dresses? While ‘90s-inspired slinky satin slip dresses may spring to mind, there are different types of satin occasion dresses to choose from that work well for an abundance of silhouettes and body shapes. Duchess satin is used for structured silhouettes like ball gowns, while charmeuse is often used for bias-cut frocks. In short: it’s a versatile material that works for every season. Hence it’s high demand.
Not sure where to look? Ghost are renowned for stunning satin dresses in maxi and midi lengths, with other brands like Omnes and Nobody’s Child offering iterations in more sustainable or recycled satin compositions. See them all below.
