A Guide to Wedding Dress Codes

There are countless decisions that come into planning the perfect wedding, and choosing a dress code that perfectly captures your vision can be one of the trickiest. It’s one of the things that shape the atmosphere of the celebration, and gives your guests a hint of what’s to come long before the big day. So whether you’re dreaming of a black-tie affair in a historical site or an intimate celebration in your backyard, it’s important to find a theme that unmistakably reflects the essence of you and your beau. 

Here are some ideas to help nudge you in the right direction. 

Church Wedding

Whether a grand cathedral or an intimate chapel, traditional church weddings naturally call for a more refined approach to dressing. You can’t go wrong with elegant silhouettes that blend in seamlessly in a sacred setting.

Beach Wedding

When the ceremony is surrounded by a gentle ocean breeze, your guests’ outfits should move with it. Lightweight fabrics and relaxed silhouettes strike the perfect balance between polished and effortless.

Garden Wedding

Surrounded by vibrant blooms and lush greenery, this venue invites a slightly softer take on occasion wear. Think romantic silhouettes and fresh hues that almost feel like a part of the landscape.

Courthouse Wedding

Often kept very intimate, the best looks for civil weddings are those that feel refined but not overly formal. Something understated but perfectly tailored should easily complement the celebration, from the court to the reception.
