Whether it's new world or old world wine country—an 18th century Napa Valley vineyard, a grand villa in Tuscany surrounded by awe-inspiring views, Breaux Vineyards in Purcellville, Virginia, the Hudson Valley, Martha's Vineyard or the French wine region of Northern Rhone—your outdoor wedding attire should be be on theme and on point. Read on for our editor-approved tips for choosing vineyard wedding attire (hint: you can't go wrong with a boho vibe), plus picks you can add to your cart right now.

Things to consider

• Choose Comfortable Footwear: Your footwear should work with both an outdoor setting and the dress code. If you'll be wandering the venue or dancing into the evening under the stars, a stiletto may get ruined or be quite uncomfortable, while sneakers may feel too dressed down. If you're opting for heels, a wedge or block heel is ideal for uneven terrain. Have your heart set on wearing a strappy shoe? Make sure it feels secure on your foot and won't slide around in grass or dirt.

• Prepare for Photo Ops: You are definitely going to be photographed—and why not? A stunning location like a vineyard is just made for photo ops. This is where accessories can make all of the difference. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you can accent your wedding guest dress or suit with eye-catching earrings or a statement tie and pocket square. Botanical-inspired patterns prints are also a safe bet, and will play up the vibe of the venue.

• Go with a Natural Color Palette: Your outfit should complement the beautiful natural scenery. With lush outdoor surroundings in mind, the color palette of your attire can be inspired by both earthy and celestial tones. Blush pink, moss green, olive, rust, dusty blue, deep brown and wine (obviously!) are all great places to start when choosing your color palette.

• Dress for the Temps: If you're attending a vineyard during warmer weather, opt for a breezy dress or lightweight suit in linens and muted tones and let statement accessories be the focus on your 'fit.

• Bring Sunnies: Shade may be scarce. Don't be dazzled by the sun—wear an elevated pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes during cocktail hour.

Vineyard Wedding Attire Ideas

The dress code for vineyard wedding guest attire runs the gamut, from casual to semi-formal or dressy cocktail to black tie attire. Unless the attire guidelines are extremely formal, you really can't go wrong with a midi-length floral dress or jumpsuit accessorized with a low block heel. Flowy fabrics, open backs and ruffle details are not only on trend, they also work well in outdoor surroundings. A polished olive green or brown suit plus brown dress shoes is another foolproof combo. For genderless fashion, dress up a suit jacket, with formal slacks and sleek smoking loafers. All the while, stay cool in flowy and airy linens, the quintessential outdoor fabric. A linen suit vest and matching jacket and slacks is tres chic.
