Ribbons are often used in weddings, right? ♫

While we generally refer to ribbons, there are various materials available. Do you know the details?

In this article, we will introduce the materials of ribbons commonly used in weddings. Please review before you buy ribbons! ♡

Ribbon Material 1: Silk Ribbon

As the name suggests, silk ribbons are made from silk (the cocoons of silk worms). They have a distinctive luster and a gentle texture. ♡

Since silk ribbons are made by tearing silk fabric by hand, they cannot be mass-produced, making them somewhat pricey. However, their luxurious feel and versatility make them popular among brides, especially in overseas weddings. ♡

They are commonly used for ribbons on wedding bouquets and,

on paper items such as seating arrangements and invitations. ♡
