Special Occasion
We're making excellent progress in preparing for numerous weddings in 2024 and are already looking ahead to 2025. We're thrilled to introduce our latest Ceremonial Wear collection, which has been meticulously curated to showcase the primary fabrics featured in our Special Occasion collection. It's the culmination of a lot of interaction and meetings with our network of cloth suppliers combined with best sellers from previous seasons. The collection is presented in a durable hardcover binder, accompanied by wedding inspiration cards.
Each of these cards features a distinct wedding ensemble paired with its corresponding fabric swatch. Black Tie weddings continue to be a popular choice, with high demand for Tuxedos and Smoking Jackets. Formal black suits, particularly our Cocktail Suit, remain a favorite among those seeking a sophisticated look without satin accents.
Black, a timeless classic, offers universal appeal, versatility, and seamless coordination with any attire. We particularly appreciate the sleek elegance of black ties for grooms, accentuated by lush greenery and a stunning white wedding dress, the centerpiece of the celebration.
In 2024 weddings, the color green remains popular, with a continued focus on green. This versatile hue is appearing in various wedding color schemes. Moss, forest, and olive greens are proving to be popular and adaptable choices. Sage, in particular, retains its charm and versatility, working well in any season but truly shining in spring and summer weddings, providing a cool-toned backdrop for warm-colored flowers and accents.
For 2024 summer weddings, light and airy colors also work well. Shades like soft pink, sky blue, ivory and neutral beige continue to be popular choices. In addition vibrant hues can make a strong statement, with colors such as teal, berry, and cinnamon providing accent shades in ties and pochette.
As the summer wedding season approaches, we are mindful of the unique challenges posed by warm weather, particularly regarding fabric weight and comfort in the heat and humidity. To ensure your comfort and style during the summer months, we have developed a diverse range of lightweight fabrics tailored to our local climate.
