Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
"Garden Party Formal" is a dress code that combines elements of formal attire with a relaxed, outdoor vibe. Think of it as a blend of elegance and comfort. It's about looking polished and put together but in a way that's suitable for an outdoor setting. For women, this could mean a chic midi dress in a floral print. For men, a light-colored suit or blazer could be the ticket. The key is to choose outfits that are stylish yet practical. After all, you'll be navigating grassy lawns and potentially uneven terrain. So, while it's a step down from black tie, it's a step up from casual. It's the perfect balance for a garden-themed wedding.
