Whether you’re a bridesmaid, guest, or just planning your own perfect day, decoding the outfit expectations for each type of celebration can make all the difference. Keep reading to learn more about our favorite dress picks for all types of wedding themes!
Black Tie
The vibe: Sophisticated, formal, full-glam
What to wear: Think evening gowns, luxe fabrics, and elevated accessories. Silhouettes should feel intentional. Floor length is the standard, and details like embellishments, satin finishes, and structured silhouettes go a long way. Deep tones such as our mahogany or metallics bring extra drama, but pastels can work too when done with elegance (think our pastel yellow pistachio).
Wine Country
The vibe: Romantic, rustic, and timeless with a splash of red
What to wear: Soft silhouettes and warm hues pair best for a vineyard setting. Think earthy tones like moss, deep olive, and terracotta or soft blushes and berries that play off the vineyard setting. Pleated skirts add an elegant movement and airy fabrics like chiffon feel perfectly in place.
Modern Boho
The vibe: Laid-back and earthy
What to wear: Textures and tonal dressing take the lead. Add texture with layers of ruffles, bell sleeves, and tonal florals for an on trend look that matches the vibe. Warm neutrals like honey beige, toffee, and terracotta rust are made for this moment, and nothing should feel too “done.”
Beach
The vibe: Barefoot elegance and mermaid chic
What to wear: Light, breathable fabrics in ocean-inspired colors are key. Look for unique necklines, flowy fabrics, and cut-out details for a modern and trendy take. As for colors — soft pastels such as our sage, baby pink, and yellow are perfect for this environment.
Whimsical Garden
The vibe: Soft, dreamy, and floral filled
What to wear: Florals are welcome here, but it’s all about the feeling! Romantic, playful, and feminine. Ruffled sleeves, sweetheart necklines, jacquard, or corsets work beautifully. Pastel palettes are a go-to, but don’t be afraid to lean into color and fun prints! Neck ties are all the rage and are the perfect styling element to complement your dress.
No matter the venue, the dress code is all about interpreting the couple’s vision while feeling like the best version of you! We hope these style recommendations have helped you narrow down some options and provided you with some inspo for your wedding day!
