what is the dress code?

For guests; the recommended dress codes are black-tie optional or cocktail . I’ve included some descriptions below if you need further clarification on these.

The bridal party will be dressed black tie (wearing suit & tie and floor length dresses).

DRESS CODES EXPLAINED

"Black-tie optional" gives guests some flexibility while still inviting elegance. For men, it means you can go for a dark suit and tie instead of a full tuxedo, if you prefer. Women can wear a cocktail dress or a stylish separates outfit, like a skirt and blouse, instead of a long evening gown. The idea is to look polished and formal, but you have more freedom to pick something that suits your style.

When choosing colors and patterns, simple is best. Solid colors or delicate patterns like lace or subtle sequins will keep your look classy. If you need something to stay warm, choose a tailored blazer, shawl, or wrap instead of a casual jacket.

What to avoid: Skip casual daytime dresses, loud patterns, and very bright colors. For men, avoid light-colored suits and khakis.

'“Cocktail attire” is a step up from semi-formal but not quite black-tie level. For women, this usually means a knee-length cocktail dress, chic jumpsuit, or dressy skirt and top combo. For men, a dark suit and tie is appropriate.

What to avoid: Don’t go too casual with items like sundresses or summery sandals.
