Summer Wedding
One of the primary concerns when attending a wedding is deciding what to wear. Summer weddings, especially those held in the UK, can be particularly challenging to dress for due to the unpredictable weather! A silk dress and jacket or a frock coat can be a good option to be prepared for any temperature. Gentlemen might like to wear a waistcoat with a jacket to still look sharp, if the jacket needs to be taken off and with all dancing you are going to do, it's going to be.

Wedding Guest Dress
A silk shift dress is an elegant option and provides versatility for styling. Romantic colours are a popular choice, as they symbolise love and celebration. However, bold and bright colours can also make a statement. Shift dresses have a classic cut that is flattering for all shapes and sizes. They are a safe choice as they can easily be paired with a jacket or a coat, depending on the weather. Our Marylin dress in Paradise is a turquoise raw silk fitted shift dress with a V neck while our Hepburn Dress in Burnt Orange is a bateau neckline dress.

Shawl
A summer wedding cashmere shawl is an accessory that can add sophistication and warmth to any outfit, especially when paired with a dress. Our luxurious shawls are lightweight yet insulating, making it ideal for cooler evenings or air-conditioned indoor venues commonly found at weddings. Its soft texture and delicate drape complement formal attire beautifully, adding a touch of glamour to your ensemble. The versatility of a cashmere shawl allows it to be worn in various ways - draped over the shoulders for a classic look, tied around the neck for extra warmth, or even used as a stylish wrap around the arms. Investing in a high-quality summer wedding cashmere shawl ensures you not only look stunning but also feel comfortable on a long wedding day.
We have a great variety of shawls for wedding guests. Ruth, our designer, created Shibumi shawls with the tree of life pattern to accompany our cashmere coats and jackets. This way you can extend your outfit and retain its elegance even when the top layer is taken off.
Below is our cashmere shawl in Ebony and Imperial Blue. All our shawls are reversible so you can achieve two different looks.

Jackets and Coats
Even in the middle of the summer, most of us will want to wear a jacket or perhaps a knee length coat to compliment our dress. Remember that comfort is key for an all-day event, so choose pieces that allow you to move freely and stay cool under the sun. Consider a cashmere jacket or coat, as it is a lightweight fabric. Lyra coat, below in Moon, would be an elegant choice. Our Anya Jacket in Duck Egg matches beautifully with our Hepburn Dress in Moonstone, add our Cashmere Shawl in Duck Egg for the perfect summer wedding outfit.

Wedding Guest Men’s Wear
Waistcoats are a stylish option for men attending weddings, whether as a guest or the groom. The versatility of waistcoats allows you to dress them up with formal accessories like cufflinks or keep it more casual by leaving buttons undone and rolling up your sleeves. Whichever way you choose to style it, wearing a cashmere or silk waistcoat to a wedding is sure to make you stand out in all the best ways. Below is Men's Nehru Waistcoat in Electric Moss.
