With the holidays upon us, some of you might have spent the week wondering what Santa, friends and family were going to be bringing you for Christmas this year. As it turns out, the big day is a popular time of year for people to propose to their significant others and present them with an engagement ring under the Christmas tree in the hopes that they will say yes. If you are one of the lucky ones who entered the next stage of your relationship this week, then you might be thinking about where to start with wedding planning once the Christmas holidays are done, dusted and packed away again. Here at Calico Laine, we can help with at least one aspect of your wedding, and that is supplying Material for your Wedding Dress. If you are searching our website for inspiration, we have a whole section online dedicated to beautiful Bridal Fabrics that contains ever popular choices for brides, such as all kinds of satin, lace, taffeta and many different chiffons. It is always worth perusing through this part of our website when it comes to your Wedding Dress, especially if you are having a gown customised for you or even made from scratch by a dressmaker. One popular choice amongst our customers who are brides-to-be on the hunt for the perfect Wedding Materials is our beautiful duchess satin; this amazing fabric is sought after for its gorgeous matte finish and fantastic colour range, and looks wonderful when made up into a gown. We stock traditional bridal colours such as white, ivory, gold, silver and the slightly more unusual blush pink for the uber girly bride, as well as bright shades such as melon, turquoise, sunflower and more. If you have seen some fabrics that you like the look of on our website but are unsure of whether they are right for you, then take advantage of our sample service that we offer on nearly all of our fabrics site wide. Available at the small cost of £1.00 each, our samples are a great way of being able to see and feel the fabric before purchasing the total length you require. It can also be helpful for those of our brides who are trying to decide on a colour scheme for their big day and want to make sure that all aspects match and tone well with each other. Our samples are dispatched by First Class with Royal Mail, ensuring that you will have your items quickly after you have placed your order.
