What’s the dress code?

Please dress in dark tones and cocktail or semi-formal attire for our Ceremony and Reception. Lighter tones will be reserved for the Bride and Groom to achieve stylistic photographs and for ease of locating the couple in a crowd.

Acceptable attire for men includes black or navy blue (not royal blue) dress pants, black chinos, black or dark grey button-down or collared shirt, and dark-colored close-toed shoes.

Acceptable attire for women includes black, navy blue (not royal blue), or dark grey dresses that reach at least mid-thigh, black, navy blue, or dark grey slacks, black, navy blue, or dark grey blouse or sweater, and dark colored close-toed shoes.

If you have any questions on your attire please contact the Bride.

What exactly is “Cocktail Attire”?

Cocktail attire for a wedding balances dressiness with comfort, being more formal than casual wear but less so than black-tie. It encourages a polished appearance while allowing for personal style.

Here's a general guide for men and women:

For women

Dresses: Options include knee-length, tea-length, midi, or even knee-length dresses. Dresses with details like lace or an asymmetrical hem are suitable. A black cocktail dress is a classic choice.

Alternatives: A tailored jumpsuit or a skirt and blouse combination are also acceptable, particularly in refined fabrics like silk or chiffon.

Shoes: Heels are popular, but dressy flats or embellished loafers are also appropriate.

Accessories: Enhance your look with tasteful accessories such as statement earrings, a clutch, and refined jewelry.

For men

Suit: A well-fitting suit in a neutral color like navy or charcoal is a traditional option.

Shirt: A crisp button-down shirt is recommended, in white or a light color.

Tie: A tie or bow tie adds polish, but it's not always required.

Shoes: Classic leather dress shoes like Oxfords or loafers are essential, typically in black or brown.

Accessories: Refined accessories such as a pocket square can add sophistication.

Things to avoid

Overly casual attire: Items like jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers are not suitable.

Overly formal attire: Tuxedos and floor-length gowns are too formal.

Distracting patterns and colors: Avoid overly bold designs.

Excessive accessories: Skip overly large or numerous statement pieces.
