Dress Decoded
General
Dress Code Guidelines
Our dress code ranges from cocktail to semi-formal attire allowing for a range of styles to be donned by our guests. Suits and dresses are the most common choices for attire within our dress code, but other items such as jumpsuits can be a fun way to show off your personal style. While cut and type of clothing are important fabric choice is often a key element in determining whether something fits within a specified dress code.
