Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes. Black-tie wedding/ Semi-formal Are ladies required to wear a gown? No. Although evening gowns are standard fare for black tie weddings, you can get away with a formal cocktail dress (of the longer variety) or even an elegant suit. Women have options — they can go a bit dressier and wear a formal floor-length gown, or they can choose a dressy cocktail dress, paired with heels or dressy flats. Dressy pants suits are also acceptable. For the men, a tuxedo isn't required, but the event is still formal enough for one to be appropriate. Men have the option of wearing a tuxedo or a formal dark suit, white shirt, and conservative tie. Wear darker, more formal colors for an evening wedding.
