Ladies: Think garden party glam! Dresses should be colorful, feminine, and tea-length or longer. Florals, pastels, or bold prints are all fair game. The real showstopper is the hat or fascinator — the bigger or more unique, the better. Pair with heels or dressy sandals, and accessorize with pearls, gloves, or a statement clutch if you like.
Gentlemen: Classic Southern dapper is the goal. Think tailored suits or sport coats in lighter colors (navy, seersucker, tan, or even pastel), paired with a dress shirt and tie or bow tie. Loafers or dress shoes complete the look. ⸻ It’s semi-formal with personality, so have fun with patterns, colors, and accessories — as long as they keep it wedding-appropriate.
