On Keeping Warm and Fashionable at Your Wedding
Pashmina shawls are really useful for all types of occasions as they are painless to put in your handbag if it gets too hot. The pashmina wool keeps out the cold very well, so instead of dragging around a heavy coat on a cool spring or summer evening, a pashmina shawl will serve as a useful overgarment.
Pashminas have recently become rather stylish as a wedding accessory at wedding parties. The last two summers in England have been quite cold, so maybe this has advanced this new style. Cream-coloured pashminas, as well as white and gold are fashionable selections for weddings, and look wonderful if all the maids of honor have the same colour pashmina. Even thin, silk scarves have been spotted at marriage ceremonies this year.
With a larger pashmina, it can also become a handy blanket for those long journeys. And it goes without saying, a shawl can transform into a warm scarf for winter days too.
There are two varieties of shawl - the 100% pashmina, and the 70% pashmina / 30% silk variety. The non-pure pashmina you can purchase at lower prices than the pure wool opposite number, but it will be less soft. It’s your choice as to how you want to wear your shawl. Is it purely a fashion item, or ALSO apparel to keep out the chilly weather too? We advocate 100% pashmina shawls to keep you warm.
