the Fung Shui way for fabrics - "Each type of fabric carries it's own kind of chi that affect the energy of it's wearer. Textured fabrics(linen, raw silk, brocade) are typically yin and carry a quiet energy, while smooth fabrics (polyester, silk, satin) tend to be yang and are filled with excitement. the most harmonious wedding parties are those dresses in a variety of fabrics carefully chosen to create a balance of chi."
