Yes, we have chosen a beach casual dress code. Please dress accordingly to celebrate with us! No white attire please. Beach casual is a relaxed dress code that's perfect for events held at or near a beach. It combines comfort with a touch of elegance suitable for a beach setting. Here's what beach casual typically means for guests: For Women: Dresses: Lightweight, airy dresses, preferably in light colors or floral patterns. Maxi dresses or sundresses are great choices. Tops and Bottoms: Blouses with skirts or casual pants like linen trousers. Avoid denim or heavy fabrics. Footwear: Flat sandals are ideal. You might want to avoid high heels that can sink into the sand. Accessories: Sun hats, sunglasses, and minimal jewelry to complement the relaxed vibe. For Men: Shirts: Button-down shirts or polo shirts in light fabrics such as linen or light cotton. Bottoms: Casual trousers. Light colors like khaki, white, or pastels work well. Footwear: Boat shoes, loafers; no sandals. Shoes should be easy to remove if the event is on the sand. Accessories: A hat and sunglasses for sun protection, and perhaps a lightweight blazer if the event is slightly more formal. General Tips: Fabric Choices: Opt for breathable, light fabrics to stay comfortable in the beach environment, such as linen, cotton, or rayon. Colors: Light or bright colors and patterns that reflect the beach setting are encouraged. Comfort is Key: Since beaches can be windy, sandy, and sunny, choose outfits and footwear that will allow you to enjoy the event comfortably. Sun Protection: Consider sun protection, especially for events held during the day. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats can be both practical and stylish additions to your outfit. Remember, while beach casual is laid-back, it's still a celebration. Aim for a look that is effortless, comfortable, yet put-together, respecting the special occasion
