Dress Code
SEMI-FORMAL
Semi-formal wedding attire is a polished, elevated style that is dressier than casual but less formal than black-tie, balancing elegance with comfort, with women often wearing cocktail/midi dresses or jumpsuits and men opting for suits or sport coats with dress shirts and slacks. It is about sophisticated, well-fitted clothing, allowing for more color and personality than black-tie but requiring dress shoes and avoiding jeans or overly casual wear.
For Everyone:
What to Avoid: THE COLOR WHITE, jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, overly casual wear, and anything too flashy that competes with the couple.
For Women:
Dresses: Knee-length, midi, or cocktail dresses in elevated fabrics like chiffon, satin, or lace.
Alternatives: Chic jumpsuits, dressy two-piece sets, or tailored pants with elegant tops are great options.
Fabrics & Colors: Consider jewel tones for evening and luxurious materials.
Shoes: Heels, wedges, or dressy flats.
For Men:
Suits/Jackets: A tailored suit or a sport coat with dress pants (chinos, slacks).
Shirts: Crisp dress shirts in white, pastels, or subtle patterns.
Accessories: A tie or bow tie (optional, can add personality), pocket squares, dress socks.
Shoes: Polished dress shoes like oxfords or loafers; avoid casual footwear.
