For the Ladies: goal is to create an elegant look wearing a knee-length, tea-length, or midi dress for the ceremony. Think natural colors and fresh styles. In the evening, shoot for a more elevated & formal look for cocktail hour and reception. Feel free to wear cocktail wear to the ceremony as well.
For the Fellas: A suit and tie are required for cocktail attire. Go with darker hues in chillier months or for evening events, but feel free to wear lighter grays or blues in warmer weather or for daytime celebrations. As for shoes, keep it classy with a nice pair of dark dress shoes that match your belt.
