Insta Show of Ceremony Outfits: 6 Guest Looks and an Ultra-Stylish Bride in Maison Fauve
Summer is the perfect season for ceremonies: outdoor weddings, sunny christenings, elegant garden parties... And with them, the long-awaited question: “What will I wear?”
For those looking to combine style and uniqueness, sewing your own outfit is a no-brainer.
Discover a special ceremony outfit video on Instagram : we've gathered seven looks that embody the Maison Fauve spirit. From the revisited suit to the sundress, from the bridesmaids' look to the hand-sewn wedding dress, here's a selection designed to radiate elegance. Let yourself be inspired...
1. The strategic witness, she masters her subject
She knows the schedule by heart, sewed her outfit three months in advance, and she manages the entire organization in heels. No question of letting her clothes get in the way on the big day; she's planned an outfit that's both elegant and comfortable for running around everywhere.
The couture choice
The Mimosa blazer and the Grand Bain shorts in a "tailored" style in Navy dupion fabric (faultless) and the hack of the Péninsule blouse in Alhambra lace (beautiful lace always has an effect).
Shorts are a smart choice when you want to be able to bend down or run around, and they allow you to casually show off your legs. Keep your jacket for important moments (town hall, church, and group photos), and you can take it off without losing your style thanks to the lace pussy-bow blouse. A beautiful jeweled brooch, graphic sandals, and you're done!
2. The bridesmaid dressed to the nines
The bride wants her bridesmaids to be matchy-matchy... But they want to bypass the dress code while still respecting this pretty idea! This year, we're ditching candy tones and pastels for a polka dot print that's totally on-trend.
The couture choice
The Lunares High-Flying dress , made from viscose poplin, is the perfect combination. Elegant, it features beautiful, sophisticated details (the front cutout, the pleats at the waist, the defined shoulder line). In the Mocha print, you'll be Julia Roberts for the day. A beautiful hat with a ribbon perfectly complements the ensemble.
All that's left is to sew the other bridesmaids' dresses in all the colors of the Lunares print!
3. The cousin Queen of the dance floor
Always barefoot at midnight, a glass in hand, she never sits down. She likes dresses that twirl, backless dresses, and prints. But her outfit has to be comfortable; she wants to dance without being cramped.
The couture choice
The Cuba Libre dress in Solaris printed viscose poplin . The pattern is available in full back (bra compatible) and open back versions. The elasticated back provides comfort, the beautiful paneled skirt and butterfly sleeves give the dress an airy look, nicely highlighted by the print.
To be worn with jeweled sandals (which we take off when the music goes up ;)).
4. The +1 unknown cannon in the battalion
Mysterious and stylish, she wins everyone's approval without saying a word. No one knows who she is, but everyone notices her... A devilishly feminine dress, with cheeky color blocking, it's not there to be a wallflower. And the accessories will be in unison: designer bag and dark glasses for mystery.
The couture choice
The Rosalie dress in Emerald Green tencel satin . A pattern with a fitted cut, a beautiful front slit that reveals the leg and a bodice that drapes beautifully. In satin, it is irresistible...
5. The daring fashionista
She loves fashion and distinctive fabrics, and her sense of style is sharp. She opts for the graphic look of black and white, which she uses on beautiful materials.
The couture choice
The Damas spencer with its clean cut and beautiful shoulders, the Grand Bain shorts (a classic). To break the codes while maintaining the consistency of the outfit, these 2 patterns are sewn in jacquards made in France: the Mystic Rose jacquard plays on tone-on-tone floral patterns in relief while the Pampa jacquard assumes its maxi flowers in shades of black and gray. A combination that works perfectly, with a little white Blush top that will "calm things down".
Accessories-wise: a statement black necklace, a slightly arty two-tone leather bag (to match the outfit), and towering high heels. Daring, we say...
6. The preppy aunt who knows her classics
The mother of the cousin who rocks the dance floor, she pulls off the formal outfit with panache. However, she doesn't want to make a mistake, and opts for safety: a pretty dress with a little twist in a beautiful plain fabric.
The couture choice
The Bonnie cape dress is THE pattern you can trust for your formal wear. Easy to sew, with a trompe l'oeil cape with a carefully designed cut, you can dare to wear a bold color without fear of overdoing it, because its clean cut has it all.
For accessories, she also relies on sure values to complete her outfit: pretty gold sandals with small heels, a Hermès scarf tied as a bracelet, a vintage-style bag worn as a minaudière.
7. The hand-sewn bride
Sewing your own wedding dress is a dream come true! But it's an ultra-technical garment, and often sewn from delicate fabrics (silk crepe, satin, veil, etc.). If you're hesitant to take the plunge for the ceremony, why not treat yourself to this pleasure for the evening? A sewing pattern and pretty, easy-to-sew lace are a safe choice for a stunning result!
The couture choice
The Cuba Libre dress is a wise choice because it is very accessible in sewing level. Our beautiful ecru shell lace combines the elegance and offbeat charm of pretty embroidered shells. It is not stretchy, therefore easy to sew, and you can line it very easily with our cotton voile (a dedicated step-by-step is available here ). And for the evening, your hand-sewn outfit will emphasize the beautiful materials, and the perfect finishes: a beautiful Calypso overcoat sewn in light ecru tweed will be absolutely perfect.
As for accessories, we swap our beautiful heels for flat gold gladiator-style sandals (we keep the very summer DNA but in a chic version). Your smile and a beautiful bouquet will do the rest ;)

These 7 formal outfits, inspired by the Maison Fauve universe, offer a modern, refined and totally contemporary interpretation. Between structured cuts, noble materials and couture details, we have mixed old and new patterns, fabrics from current collections and favorites from past seasons.
