Material gains

This October, Textile Forum will be offering designers the opportunity to source from the largest selection of luxury fabrics we have ever curated, all available with a low minimum order so there are great opportunities to experiment,” says Co-Founder, Linda Laderman. "While the bride's gown will always be the star of the show, designers also need to ensure the whole bridal party looks its best."

The next Textile Forum, being held at London's One Marylebone from 10th-11th October 2018, will be showcasing an extensive collection of luxury fabrics and trimmings ideal for the men, women and children in the bridal party. Beautiful silks for the bride and bridesmaids – plain, embroidered and textured in the new season's top colours – will be on offer from Platinum Bridal, Jose Marie Ruiz, Bennett Silks and Pongees among others.

For men, there will be a choice of soft handled woollen suitings from Dormeuil, A W Hainsworth and new exhibitor Jozwiak, plus a broad range of classic and fun linings from Bernstein & Banleys and fine shirtings from Ringhart. For the mother of the bride the choice is endless with soft jerseys, light wools – plain, digitally printed, woven – and, of course, delicate silks and laces.

To personalise an outfit, there is an endless choice of trimmings, buttons and labels from companies such as Michael's Bridal Fabrics, Vema and Jones & Co, while The National Weaving Company can provide bespoke labels.
