Question

What should I wear to the wedding ceremony?

Answer

Beach Formal is an elegant beachside celebration—dress to impress! Think breezy jumpsuits, linen-blend suits, satin dresses, or chic skirt sets. Opt for light fabrics like silk charmeuse or airy fibers to stay cool in the warm weather. Embrace vibrant hues from our color palette to perfectly complement the beauty of the location. Men should opt for a lightweight and breathable suit in colors like beige, tan, or olive green, rust. Skip the tie or opt for a lightweight tie in a complementary color. Loafers or dressy sandals or skippies are ideal footwear choices. Women can wear an elevated summer sundress or a flowy maxi dress in light, airy fabrics such as chiffon or silk. Opt for a color or floral patterns within our color pallet.
