Why is cord embroidery used on velvet?
Because the two work against each other. Velvet pile absorbs light and reads deep, while a raised cord catches light along its length. The pattern therefore separates cleanly from the base instead of sinking into it, which is harder to achieve on a flat reflective fabric.
Is velvet suitable for a summer function?
Velvet has a dense pile that traps warmth, so it is far better suited to the cooler wedding months from late autumn onward. For a summer daytime function a net, tissue or georgette set will be considerably more comfortable across several hours.
Why does velvet look different from different angles?
Velvet is a pile fabric, meaning short raised fibres stand up from the backing. Light striking the pile from one direction is absorbed and reads deep, while from another it reflects and reads lighter. That is why a single velvet panel shows a visible shift in tone as you move around it.
What jewellery suits royal blue velvet?
Silver, white metal and diamond-look sets read cleanly against a cool royal blue, and oxidised silver is a common pairing at a sangeet. Yellow gold can look warm against it, though antique gold works better than bright polished gold if you prefer a gold tone.
