How to Dress for a Summer Wedding in Silk

Attending a summer wedding? Silk is the perfect fabric, lightweight, elegant, breathable and ideal for unpredictable UK weather. Here are five beautiful silk options from Shibumi guaranteed to make you look refined and feel comfortable for the big day.

1. Hepburn Shift Dress  in Star / Paradise / Burnt Orange

The Hepburn Dress, a silk shift with a bateau neckline and classic cut, flatters every shape. Whether in soft Paradise turquoise or rich Burnt Orange, it’s elegant yet playful. Its short sleeves make it perfect for sunny venues, and you can pair it with a silk jacket or cashmere shawl just in case it gets breezy. If you prefer a longer sleeve this can also be done and they still fit comfortably under the jackets and coats.

2. Marilyn V‑Neck Shift Dress  in Moon Dust / Oyster Gold

For a hint of Old Hollywood glam, try the Marilyn Dress. With its elegant V-neck and a tailored shift silhouette, it’s sophisticated and versatile. Available in a plethora of colours, some options are gentle Moon Dust, warm Oyster Gold, and striking Paradise.

3. Silk Jumpsuit  in Dusty Blue / Perfect Teal / Dark Cherry

Perfect for something bold and fashion-forward: Shibumi’s silk jumpsuits offer wide-leg styling with a wrap front and belt accent. Lightweight and flowing, they’re comfortable and chic—ideal if you prefer a jumpsuit over a dress. Available in elegant shades like Dusty Blue, vibrant Perfect Teal, or deep Dark Cherry 

4. Coco Kaftan in Blush Rose  Deep Raspberry / Ocean

For a relaxed, destination‑wedding vibe, the Coco Kaftan is dreamy. Made in satin silk, these floor‑length kaftans in Blush Rose, Ocean, or Deep Raspberry create a breezy, sophisticated look and are perfect for warm weather or outdoor venues 

5. Lyra Silk Coat   or Anya Jacket (Layering Inspiration)

To complete your summer wedding outfit, opt for a lightweight silk coat or jacket worn over one of our silk dresses or cigarette trousers. The Lyra Coat in Moon (a pale greenish blue shade) or the Anya Jacket in Mother of Pearl or Lilac Mist adds polish xto any dress or jumpsuit. These offer elegance while providing coverage if the temperature dips in the evening.
