What should we plan to wear during the day?
The weather in the Netherlands can be a bit unpredictable. We’re expecting mild late-summer conditions, with daytime highs typically ranging from 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C), but it’s always good to be prepared for cooler moments or sudden changes. Rain is also possible, so we recommend packing a light rain jacket or a sweatshirt just in case.
Comfortable walking shoes are a must for exploring town, and if you’re planning to join a bike tour, please wear something practical and easy to move in.
Overall, think casual, comfortable, and weather-ready for daytime activities.
What should we wear Nights 1 & 2? Dinner on Nights 1 and 2 is a great opportunity to dress things up a bit and enjoy a more elevated evening atmosphere.
For the gentlemen:
Please plan to wear closed-toe shoes and long pants for dinner. We kindly ask that Birkenstocks, sandals, graphic tees, athleisure wear, and baseball hats be left in your cabin. Thank you for helping us keep the evening setting polished and special.
For the ladies:
Dinner is a lovely chance to dress up a bit! We kindly ask that leggings, shorts, and Birkenstocks be reserved for daytime activities and not worn in the dining room during dinner service. Cocktail dresses, sundresses, jumpsuits, skirts, dressy tops, and other polished evening looks are all perfect choices.
In the evenings, temperatures can cool down significantly, with lows ranging from 50°F to 59°F (10°C to 15°C). If you plan to spend time on deck after dinner, we recommend bringing a light jacket, wrap, or scarf to stay comfortable.
What should we plan to wear for the wedding night?
For our wedding night celebration, we invite the ladies to embrace bright colors, bold prints, and beautiful florals—think vibrant, festive, and fun!
Gentlemen, we encourage a chic and classic look. Dress shirts, slacks, sport coats, and other polished attire are all great choices.
Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and ready to celebrate with us. Please refer to the mood boards for inspiration as you plan your look!
