Here is a breakdown of the different ribbon types courtesy of www.wisegeek.com
Acetate Ribbons
are stiffer, with a satin-finish, and are often used for floral arrangements,
pew bows, and packaging.
Chiffon, organdy and
organza are varieties of very light weight, open weave variety commonly
referred to as “sheers.”
Curling ribbons
are coated or crimped so that when pulled against a sharp edge, like that of a
scissors, the strand acquires a corkscrew aspect.
Grosgrain Ribbons
are a durable yet supple woven type. The characteristic crosswise ribs give
grosgrain enough body for a crisp appearance.
Iridescent ribbons
have a pearl-like finish revealing changeable colors depending on the light or
the angle of view.
Jacquard is a
type of weave used to produce pictorial effects. The term sometimes refers to
ribbons with embroidery on them. Both embroidered and the true Jacquard ribbons
have pronounced “right” and “wrong” sides.
Moiré Ribbons
have a rippled or “watermark” appearance.
Ombre describes
those with coloring that transitions from one hue to another.
Poly ribbon, made
from polypropylene, is typically very shiny and can be made waterproof for
outdoor use.
Satin Ribbons
have a very smooth, shiny finish. They may be single-faced, which is shiny on
one side and dull on the other; or double-faced, which is shiny on both sides.
Taffeta Ribbons
are made of lightweight fabric, which may or may not be translucent. The ends
tend to fray easily, so it is recommended they be cut on the bias, or at an
angle, rather than straight across.
Velvet Ribbons
have a tight weave and a low cut pile surface — the velvety side — with a plain
underside. They require particular care so that the plush surface does not get
flattened and shiny.
Wired Ribbons
have fine wires placed in the selvage edges so that, once placed, the
arrangement keeps its shape.
~~~
Ribbons can accent just about any part of your wedding day. All you do it yourself individuals- you will be all over this 2016 wedding trend.
