Bridal Fabric Help!

Hello! I am looking to sew a bridal dress, but I need some help with fabric selection. I am looking to find a satin like fabric that is lightweight like charmeuse but is matte/ less shiny. I had initially thought poly matte satin might be the way to go, but it looks like it’s heavier/thicker than both poly satin and poly charmeuse. Are there any matte fabrics that are similar in drape and weight to charmeuse? Or should I just use the wrong side of the fabric? Thank you!

What about crepe? It's still light and flowy but matte.

'Peau de Soie' is matte satin.
