    I vote for silk.

    May I suggest that you practice several times, however you intend to fasten it?

    Here's a good site:

    I too would agree that silk is the best option. I have heard of and seen cushion covers made of the silk afterwards as a useful and permanent reminder of the day. Rather than be stuffed away in a drawer for all eternity and forgotten about.

    Indeed, it may look simple, but practice will pay off on the big day!

    I have a couple of yards of tartan Davidson I'm trying to sell:

    If you had it, you could cut off a strip for a sash, or she could wear it as a shawl, or you could have a honeymoon picnic blanket, or any of the above, PM me if you're interested.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.
