The Wedding Guest Scarf: Timeless Looks for the Season

The Wedding Guest Scarf: Timeless Looks for the Season

About Clare Haggas: Clare is a renowned wildlife artist, based in Cheltenham England, who brings her illustrations to life on British designed silk accessories.

The sun breaks through the clouds, the lovers rejoice; wedding season is upon us! As a wedding guest or the mother of the bride, we’re here to guide you on the best trends for the season.

Our top summer wedding season looks and colour combinations all feature Clare's iconic silk scarves, truly the perfect complement to days bathed in lush light, clinking glasses and happy chatter.

Shawls in luxurious wool-silk blends add warmth and elegance as celebrations continue into the evening, while pure silk scarves bring colour, movement and a beautiful double-sided shimmer to any wedding ensemble.

1. Pink and Blue Silk Scarves for Tactile Wedding Moments

Pink and blue form a timeless partnership which is practically designed for spring/summer weddings. Clare's Oopsie Daisy collection is the epitome of happiness and optimism, bringing a vibrant touch to any outfit. Perfect for a daytime wedding, or for nuptials abroad, this colourway creates a playful and summery look.

Think pink for femininity and romance. A knee-length pink dress with lace details or an off-the-shoulder silhouette number are both perfect wedding guest outfits.

With most weddings extending into the evening, it's essential to stay comfortable and warm as the temperature drops.

Scarves and shawls provide the perfect solution, not only keeping you warm in the evenings, but also adding an extra layer of elegance to your outfit during the day. Lightweight fabrics like silk or chiffon are perfect to drape over your shoulders or wear it loosely around your neck for a chic and cosy style statement.

2. Topaz Silk for the Bold Wedding Guest

Spectacular meets timeless; the perfect choice for the mother of the bride. Neutral tones such as dove grey, champagne or soft ivory provide the perfect backdrop for a statement scarf without competing with the bridal party.

5. Small Scarves and Twillies: Perfect Wedding Guest Accessories

When it comes to wedding guest dressing, it's often the little details that make the biggest impact. Small scarves and twillies prove to be elegant, versatile accessories, adding a touch of personality to any outfit, and proving wearable throughout the summer season.

Effortlessly chic and wonderfully practical.
