Apparel for Your Wedding: the Pashmina
Pashminas are rather useful for many kinds of situations as they are painless to put in your handbag if it gets too hot. The wool of the pashmina keeps out the cool weather very effectively, so instead of wearing a large jacket on a chilly spring or summer evening, a shawl will serve as a convenient outer garment.
Pashminas have recently become very popular as a fashion accessory at wedding parties. The last two summertimes in the UK have been pretty awful, so perhaps this has boosted this new fashion. White pashminas, as well as cream and gold are fashionable choices for wedding parties, and look wonderful if all the maids of honor have same colour pashmina shawls.
If you order a larger size shawl, it can also turn into a handy little blanket for lengthy journeys. And of course, it can turn into a warm scarf for wintertime too.
There tends to be two main types of shawl - the the 70% pashmina / 30% silk pashmina, and the 100% pure pashmina variety. The non-pure pashmina you can buy at cheaper cost than the 100% counterpart, but it’s less soft. It’s really down to you as to how you want to wear your shawl. Is it purely a fashion item, or also a garment keep you warm too? We strongly advocate 100% pashminas to keep you warm.
