Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

European Estate Attire Channel a stylish European summer evening. Men can wear lightweight suits, blazers, or dress shirts in soft neutrals. Women are encouraged to wear midi or maxi dresses, playful prints, and breezy fabrics. Flowy silhouettes and comfortable heels or dressy sandals work beautifully for this dress code. Think polished but relaxed—perfect for celebrating outdoors. Please note that the ceremony will take place on the lawn.
