A Dhaka muslin wedding scarf is the lighter, simpler piece: a handwoven cotton scarf for the groom’s neck with a summer suit, or for the bride’s shoulders over a strapless gown. It is cool in heat, soft against the skin, and small enough to carry all day with you.

For the groom
A muslin scarf with a light suit or a linen kurta gives the groom one handmade piece that is his alone. In a colour that picks up the bride’s outfit, it ties the two of you together in photographs without matching.
For the bride
A muslin scarf over the shoulders softens a strapless or sleeveless gown for the ceremony and comes off for the dancing. At a garden or beach wedding, it is cover from the sun that weighs almost nothing.
As a wedding gift
A scarf is the gift you can choose without knowing the outfit. Each one can be sent boxed with its certificate and a handwritten card in the Gift Edition.

Questions
Can a man wear a muslin scarf?
Yes. Muslin is cotton and reads as relaxed and light, which suits summer and daytime weddings.
Is a muslin scarf warm enough for winter?
No. It is made to be breatheable. For a winter wedding, choose a Cervelt wedding scarf.
Can I order a scarf for the groom and a shawl for the bride as a set?
Ask when you request a piece and we will tell you what can be made as a pair.
