Pre-Wedding Events
Leading up to the big day, there are numerous wedding-related events to attend, which means more opportunities to dress up! Celebrations surrounding weddings have expanded over the years, with engagement parties, bridal showers, and Stag or Hen parties becoming common occurrences. Find inspiration in Shibumi's curated picks that will guide you through the various occasions leading up to the wedding day.

Engagement Party
An engagement party is typically the first pre-wedding event that guests are invited to, signifying the official beginning of a couple's journey towards marriage. It serves as a celebration of love and commitment between the engaged couple, allowing friends and family to come together in support and anticipation of their upcoming wedding day.
We think that our women’s Jumpsuit in Cherry would make a perfect engagement party outfit for her; while men’s Blazer in Pink Jacquard is a stylish and fashionable choice for him. They would even make a perfect engagement party outfit for the happy couple.

Bachelorette Party
The bachelorette party, also known as a Hen Do, is traditionally seen as the last chance to go out and have fun before the bride's new life as a wife. This celebration tends to involve a night out or perhaps even a trip abroad. One thing is for sure, there will be a lot of dancing, drinking and staying up long hours. Styles in lighter fabrics and breathable designs will work well, allowing you to look effortlessly chic while staying comfortable throughout the night.
So dance the night away in Shibumi long Silk Slip Dress. We have a range of gorgeous colours that would make the perfect Hen party outfits. Here are examples in beautiful Navy and Olive Green.

Bachelor Party
When planning a Stag Do outfit, the waistcoat could be a component that can elevate the overall look and add a touch of sophistication. A well-fitted waistcoat can help achieve a cohesive and polished appearance. When selecting a waistcoat, it is essential to consider the colour and fabric options that will best coordinate with the rest of the outfit. Traditional colours such as navy, black, or grey are timeless choices, while bolder patterns or textures can add a contemporary twist.
Here is Shibumi Men's Waistcoat in Ebony worn with a white shirt for a formal party and in Byzantine Gold worn over a plain t-shirt for a more casual evening.

Bridal Shower
If you’ve been invited to a bridal shower, your presence is truly important and putting thought and effort into your outfit is something you should consider. Make sure to pick an outfit that matches the dress code, where the party is happening, and what time of year it is. You don’t want to choose anything too risqué or too formal. Flower motifs would work very well for this happy occasion.
We have selected Nina Blazer in Pink Moss from our jacket collection.

Rehearsal Dinner
This is for our American friends. A rehearsal dinner is a traditional pre-wedding ceremony in the United States, usually held after the wedding rehearsal and the night before the wedding day. The actual dinner is typically a small, intimate affair, with just the wedding party and the couple’s close family in attendance.
When choosing your outfit remember that the rehearsal dinner will never be more formal or fancy than the wedding itself. Perhaps this could be the best occasion to wear bright colours over a simple outfit. Here are examples of two stunning coats that will make you look elegant with a bit of an edge. Nehru Coat in Schiaparelli Pink and Sicily Jacket in African Cobalt.

With Love,
