We’ve chosen a formal dress code to help create a cohesive, elegant atmosphere for our winter wedding. The setting, décor, and overall tone of the day are designed to feel timeless and elevated, and formal attire helps everyone feel part of that shared experience. It also ensures our photos capture a beautiful, polished look that reflects the significance of the occasion. This means floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses for women, and well-tailored suits or a button-down shirt and slacks for men. Rich winter fabrics like velvet, satin, crepe, and wool are perfect for the season, and deeper tones or soft neutrals are welcome.
Please feel free to accessorize with wraps or coats for warmth—just be sure your main outfit fits a formal evening look. There is no such thing as being overdressed!
