Pastels for summer, groundbreaking
It’s all about soft colours this summer and more wedding couples are opting to pair their core wardrobe pieces with pastel accessories that reflects their time in the tropics. From colour-toned veils to statement jewellery, clutches, ties, boutonnieres, socks and dress shoes, pastel shades are very complementary to the wearer and can be adorned by any bride, groom or wedded partner, no matter their style. If you want to kick it up a notch, get inspired with this season’s pale blue hue bridal gowns and soft pastel suits!
It’s all in the (pearl) details
The string of pearls has become synonymous with tradition but wedding couples are finding unique ways to incorporate the gemstone into their wedding accessory style in a way that’s still classic and elegant. Pearl detailing is a simple yet effective way to elevate your accent pieces, from pearl cufflinks to a pearl-dotted birdcage veil or a pair of stylish pearl-encrusted sunglasses for your beachside reception. Plus, jewellery designers have also begun introducing a variety of gender-neutral pearl accessory lines that wedding couples can wear on the big day.

If the glove fits…
From the fashion inspiration of Audrey Hepburn to the Regency era costume designs in Bridgerton, gloves are back on the wedding circuit (and the red carpet) with a modernized aesthetic. Not bound to just the winter season, the soon-to-be wedded can don this classic accessory in the tropics with a variety of options perfect for the ocean breeze and hot summer ceremonies. Depending on your dress or style, a sheer elbow-length glove offers the perfect blend of contemporary fashion and elegance.
A different kind of floral display
Grooms and partners are finding new ways to elevate their wedding wear by dressing up the boutonniere. Instead of clipping it on the lapel of a suit jacket or shirt, give your pocket square an upgrade and tuck the boutonniere in your chest pocket. For an added twist, non-floral boutonnieres are also becoming increasingly popular as unique and crafty alternatives! While the natural flora of paradise is unmatched, connect to your surroundings and incorporate flowers (real or fake) in your boutonniere that are native to the region.

Customized cufflinks for the win
Cufflinks are the perfect wedding-day staple to add a personal touch without overwhelming or distracting from your wedding attire aesthetic. A small accessory that packs a big punch, keep it simple with a clean polished look, add monogrammed lettering to represent you and your beloved or have some fun with it and wear a novelty pair of your family pet or even your favourite foods that highlight your personality and the bond you two share.
