The dress code is semi-formal, which is a balance between elegant and comfort. We encourage you to dress according to your personal style while maintaining a sophisticated look. Guests should feel comfortable and confident while celebrating! For Women: Dresses: A semi-formal dress can range from just above the knee to floor-length. Styles can vary from cocktail dresses to more elegant midi dresses. You can also consider dressy jumpsuits as a stylish alternative. Choose a style that is comfortable for you! Colors and Fabrics: You can choose vibrant colors, patterns, or classic tones. Fabrics can vary from silk and chiffon to lace and satin. Accessories: Pair your dress with accessories such as jewelry, a clutch, and elegant heels or dressy flats. Outerwear: Consider a shawl or a tailored jacket if the weather gets cool in the evening. For Men: Suits: A semi-formal outfit typically includes a suit in a solid color or subtle pattern. Shirts and Ties: A dress shirt is essential, and you may choose to wear a tie or bow tie. You can opt for solid colors or subtle patterns. Footwear: Dress shoes, such as leather brogues, oxfords, or loafers are recommended. Please avoid casual shoes like sneakers or sandals. Accessories: Consider adding a watch, cufflinks, or a pocket square to elevate your look.
