Wedding invitations often come with a dress code that can leave guests guessing. Here is a clear guide to what each one really means.
Black Tie
The most formal common dress code. Reach for a floor-length gown or a sophisticated full-length midi in a luxurious fabric. Elegant heels and refined jewellery complete the look.
Cocktail or Semi-Formal
The most popular UK dress code. A knee-length or midi dress with heels is ideal. This is your chance to have fun with colour and elegant detailing.
Garden Party
Relaxed but pretty. Think floral midi dresses, floaty fabrics and block heels or wedges suited to grass. A fascinator adds a lovely finishing touch.
Smart Casual
The most flexible code. A midi dress, a jumpsuit or a smart separates outfit all work. Avoid anything too casual like jeans or trainers.
No Dress Code Stated
Treat it as cocktail or smart casual and you will never feel out of place.
