Elevate Your Autumn/Winter Wedding Style

Elevate Your Autumn/Winter Wedding Style

While the gents work within the confines of morning dress, the ladies have no such restrictions when it comes to looking elegant and sophisticated at an autumn or winter wedding. Whether you are a guest or the mother of the bride, weddings this season provide ample opportunity to showcase sartorial refinement and style, especially in one's coat. The dress is actually a rather simpler decision to make: keep it chic and simple, and don't make it white! The long-held taboo of wearing black to a wedding has faded away somewhat, given the proliferation of the LBD (little black dress), but there are a host of autumnal tones to experiment with first, from rich olive green to aubergine and burnt orange.

One's coat or jacket is where the real fun is, however. Whether long-line or cropped, the coat is 95% of the look and therefore the showpiece, so you can afford to be bold with it. That doesn't necessarily mean opting for bright colours, but adopting fabrics such as silk and velvet are the first step towards creating a stunning look.

The second element is the degree of embellishment to the coat, for example, hand-stitched embroidery or vibrant patterns. Embroidery works especially well with velvet, creating a delicate contrast against the deep rich pile of velvet. Many of our velvet coats feature floral embroidery designs that rise up from the hem to produce a wonderfully balanced artwork that complements the florals seen at the vast majority of weddings. Feminine and confident, they make for exquisite winter wedding coats.

This season, we've incorporated a lot of silk velvet options into the collection for an extremely luxurious expression of texture and tactility. Some of the best examples of this come by way of our Westminster coats, featuring an at-the-knee finish and a very flattering slim-line silhouette. From the seductive black Nith style to the vibrant green Carwyn iteration, the Westminster coat is a stunning option for autumn weddings. If you prefer a longer silhouette then our Carnaby and Whitehall coats will provide all the glamour and sophistication you need to make a statement.

Silk satin is another beautiful fabric for autumn weddings. While it might not have the textural depth of silk velvet, satin has that unique slinky drape and shiny finish that really helps to bring out bold colours and tones. We've used it to brilliant effect in two Carnaby coats that spill over with eye-catching floral motifs. 

For short jacket options, look no further than our Camden jackets, which this year have been crafted in luscious silk velvet and feature a delicate geometric floral pattern. They pair beautifully with our cropped pants as well as our jumpsuits.
