About Clare Haggas: Clare is a renowned wildlife artist, based in Cheltenham England, who brings her artwork to life on British made, silk accessories.
Wedding season is upon us, and as a guest or the mother of the bride, we've got our pick of the best fashion choices for 2023, as well as into 2024.
Here are our 5 summer wedding season looks and colour combinations for 2023, all featuring Clare's iconic scarves.
From shawls in soft wool/silk blends, adding a touch of luxury to any outfit, while providing warmth and comfort during the evening festivities; to pure silk scarves. With silk's thermal properties and the double sided shimmer of this luxe material, they're sure to make you stand out on the big day.
Captivating hues for wedding guest attire: let's explore the timeless combination of yellow and pink.
With the ethereal charm of Clare's yellow: buttermilk. This colour is the epitome of happiness and optimism, bringing a vibrant touch to any outfit and is amazing or a daytime wedding, or for nuptials abroad; creating a fresh and summery look.
Pink, on the other hand, represents femininity and romance. A knee-length pink dress with lace details or an off-the-shoulder silhouette number are both perfect for 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 cozy style statement.
