\"Different<\/p>\n

Are you a<\/span> guest<\/span> who was recently invited to a wedding and wondering what \u201cfestive attire\u201d means? Or perhaps you\u2019re a couple wondering what invitation verbiage will best indicate that your venue is more of a \u201csuit jacket\u201d affair? Well, you came to the right place.<\/span><\/p>\n

A common question we get from couples putting together their <\/span>wedding invitation<\/span>s is about attire, so we\u2019ve outlined a list of the most common (and some less common) <\/span>wedding dress codes<\/span>. That said, as with every detail of your wedding, do what feels right to you as a couple and don\u2019t get too hung up on tradition.<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

Your Guide to the <\/b>Most Common Wedding Dress Codes<\/b><\/h2>\n

Heard of a dress code but not sure what it means? Not sure which <\/span>wedding dress code<\/span> to use for your <\/span>big day<\/span>? We\u2019re here to help with this guide on what each dress code covers \u2014 plus some of our favorite styling ideas for each one.<\/span><\/p>\n

White Tie Attire<\/b><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s nothing more formal than a <\/span>white tie event<\/span> dress code. It\u2019s the ultimate in luxury, sophistication, and formality. When we think <\/span>white tie<\/span>, we think of luxe celebrity gatherings or a presidential meeting \u2014 which makes it perfect for the most <\/span>formal weddings<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a <\/span>white tie<\/span> wedding, a <\/span>tuxedo<\/span> is a must-have for those who prefer a trouser suit. The <\/span>tux<\/span> should fit perfectly and feature tails or a <\/span>tailcoat<\/span>. Paired with the suit is a <\/span>white shirt<\/span>, <\/span>white vest<\/span>, and a <\/span>white bow tie<\/span>. For those who prefer dresses, a <\/span>floor-length gown<\/span> is required \u2014 often an elegant <\/span>cocktail dress<\/span> or a <\/span>ball gown<\/span>. When it comes to shoes, these should be <\/span>dressy<\/span> and be polished \u2014 leather <\/span>oxfords<\/span> and high heels are favorites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Black Tie Attire<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Wedding<\/p>\n

Black tie is just one step down from <\/span>white tie<\/span> and is still considered very formal. Many <\/span>formal weddings<\/span> feature a<\/span>\u00a0black tie<\/strong><\/span><\/a> dress code<\/span> as it\u2019s <\/span>dressy<\/span> and classy, and ideal for an <\/span>evening wedding<\/span>. When it comes to a <\/span>black tie dress code<\/span>, it\u2019s usually safe to assume that the wedding will take place during the evening and be a grand affair.<\/span><\/p>\n

At a <\/span>black tie wedding<\/span>, the suit of choice is a <\/span>tuxedo<\/span>. Unlike a <\/span>white tie<\/span> wedding, the go-to color for a long-sleeved <\/span>dress shirt<\/span> is black \u2014 along with a <\/span>black bow tie<\/span>, <\/span>cummerbund<\/span>, and vest. You could also elevate the look with <\/span>cufflinks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a <\/span>wedding guest <\/span>who\u2019s planning to wear a dress, it should be a <\/span>floor-length dress<\/span> or <\/span>evening gown<\/span>. However, unlike <\/span>white tie wedding dress codes<\/span>, <\/span>black tie attire<\/span> allows for other options, such as a sophisticated <\/span>jumpsuit<\/span>, pant suit, or chic <\/span>cocktail dress <\/span>with a knee-length<\/span> hemline<\/span>. For footwear, you can\u2019t go wrong with formal <\/span>dress shoes<\/span> similar to <\/span>white tie<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Formal Wedding Attire<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Wedding<\/p>\n

The main difference between black tie and <\/span>formal event<\/span> attire is that with a <\/span>formal dress code<\/span>, the <\/span>tuxedo<\/span> becomes optional. This is great news if you want a slightly less prescriptive dress code, but still want your<\/span> wedding guests <\/span>to show up to your<\/span> formal wedding<\/a><\/strong> in something fabulous. Formal is also known as \u201c<\/span>black tie optional<\/span>,\u201d which is a helpful way to describe the look to guests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tuxedos<\/span> or <\/span>dark suits<\/span> are the preferred option here, with a <\/span>white shirt<\/span> and tie. <\/span>Full-length<\/span> evening dresses are options in black tie formal, as are <\/span>dressy<\/span> jumpsuits<\/span>, pant suits, and more relaxed yet still elegant <\/span>cocktail dresses<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beach Wedding<\/b> Formal, Garden Attire, or Summer <\/b>Formal Attire<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Wedding<\/p>\n

You have to be a little careful when it comes to beach <\/span>formal attire<\/span>. The goal is to achieve a formal look while also keeping any <\/span>outdoor wedding<\/span> weather conditions in mind. It can be tricky, but also totally doable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting your <\/span>wedding dress code<\/span> as one of these options can be confusing for guests. If you go down this route, provide some examples of what your guests could wear on your <\/span>digital wedding invitations<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 or include a link to this guide on your <\/span>wedding website<\/span>! If it\u2019s a <\/span>destination wedding<\/span>, let your guests know what the expected weather will be so they can plan ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to suits, <\/span>wedding guests<\/span> can opt for a light suit or pair a <\/span>sport coat <\/span>with a linen <\/span>button-down shirt<\/span>, pants, and <\/span>loafers<\/span> or boat shoes. For dresses, a formal <\/span>knee-length<\/span> (<\/span>midi dress)<\/span> or summer <\/span>sundress<\/span> is one of our favorite choices. <\/span>Jumpsuits<\/span> that are light and floaty also work well. Avoid high heels and choose something comfortable yet luxurious \u2014 like your favorite sandals or flats. If you must wear heels, try a wedge shape instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have also seen people offer this attire as a more <\/span>casual wedding<\/span> option (like <\/span>dress pants<\/span> with floral shirts). If you\u2019re a couple requesting this attire, consider putting an FAQ on your details page or <\/span>wedding website<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that outlines any specifics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cocktail Chic or <\/b>Cocktail Attire<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Cocktail<\/p>\n

Generally, the expectation with cocktail chic is to be well dressed, but not overly formal. Think of it as a cozy place between formal and <\/span>semiformal<\/span>. Many formal and <\/span>cocktail weddings<\/span> opt for a<\/span>\u00a0cocktail dress<\/strong> code<\/strong><\/span><\/a> as it gives guests a lot of flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

For suits-wearers, a <\/span>dark suit<\/span> is preferred. Ties are optional, so don\u2019t feel like you need to wear one. A more relaxed take on cocktail chic could be a pair of slacks with a sports jacket or <\/span>blazer<\/span>. If you\u2019d love to wear a dress, this is the perfect opportunity to bring out your classic \u201clittle black dress.\u201d Other options can include <\/span>dress pants<\/span> or a skirt with a silk blouse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semi-Formal Attire<\/b> or <\/b>Dressy Casual<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Semi-formal<\/p>\n

Semi-formal wedding dress codes<\/span> are usually a balance between casual and formal. It\u2019s a great option if you want to give your guests the chance to dress up at a <\/span>daytime wedding<\/span> or<\/span> semi-formal wedding<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, but don\u2019t want them to feel too much pressure to get it \u201cjust right\u201d or buy a new outfit. Most people will have something that works for a <\/span>semi-formal wedding<\/span> already in their closet.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your go-to is a suit, choose a light or <\/span>dark suit<\/span> or go more informal with dress slacks and a light shirt. Add a <\/span>blazer<\/span> and a tie, but know that one isn\u2019t required. When it comes to dresses, a beautiful afternoon dress, <\/span>cocktail dress<\/span>, <\/span>dressy<\/span> jumpsuit<\/span>, or a <\/span>pantsuit<\/span> all work perfectly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Festive Attire<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Festive<\/p>\n

With <\/span>thematic weddings<\/a><\/strong> growing in popularity, the \u201cfestive attire\u201d dress code is becoming a bit more common. We recommend aiming for formal or cocktail chic with an added element that matches the overall wedding theme (at an appropriate level). For instance, you might want to encourage <\/span>wedding guests<\/span> to wear vibrant colors as opposed to clothing that features the actual rainbow spectrum for a <\/span>rainbow wedding<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s no notable theme, festive attire can also refer to adding more flair to a typical formal outfit. For example, wearing a bold floral tie or playfully patterned socks, or rocking those bright blue Betsey Johnson heels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Informal or <\/b>Casual Attire<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Casual<\/p>\n

Casual doesn\u2019t always mean casual \u2014 at least, that\u2019s when it comes to <\/span>wedding dress codes<\/span>. While this<\/span> informal wedding<\/a><\/strong> dress code<\/span> gives guests more flexibility, it can be interpreted as \u201canything goes.\u201d When it comes to a <\/span>casual dress code<\/span>, be on the safe side and offer some attire examples for guests to avoid \u2014 for instance, flip flops, cargo shorts, mini skirts, and muscle tees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Casual wedding<\/span>s can take place <\/span>any time of day<\/span>, but they\u2019re often in the afternoon. As such, guests might opt for a pair of slacks or <\/span>khakis<\/span>, a light or colorful shirt, and a sports jacket or <\/span>blazer<\/span> (with or without a tie). Afternoon dresses, <\/span>sundresses<\/span>, <\/span>dressy<\/span> skirt and blouse combos, and seasonally-appropriate <\/span>dress pants<\/span> are all great options too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Empower Your Guests With an Easy-to-Understand <\/b>Wedding Dress Code<\/b><\/h2>\n

Regardless of the <\/span>wedding guest dress<\/span> code you assign, help your guests arrive appropriately (and stylishly) to your celebration by providing plenty of details. Although not all your guests will follow each guideline, having more information is better than having none. Your <\/span>wedding website<\/span> and the details page of your<\/span> wedding invitation<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is the perfect place to include a note about your preferences. And if you\u2019re a <\/span>wedding guest <\/span>who wasn\u2019t sure about what to wear, now you know!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
