Dress code

Formal (and fabulous)

Please dress formally for the celebration: polished, fabulous and ready for the dance floor. If you have a favourite dress, suit or special-occasion outfit waiting for its moment, this is it.

Notes

A few notes while you plan your look

These are gentle cues. The main thing is that you feel amazing and ready for a beautiful night together.

Do

  • Lean into formal tailoring, glamorous dresses and suits that feel special.
  • Choose rich colour, texture or a little drama if that feels like you.
  • Choose shoes that feel good from the first drink to the final song.

Don’t

  • Wear white, ivory or anything that reads bridal.
  • Stress about matching a colour palette. There isn’t one.
  • Overthink it. Polished and fabulous is the brief.

Inspiration

These references are here to capture the feeling: formal, fabulous and confident.

One colour commitmentMonochrome doesn’t have to mean boring. Go bold with one colour from head to toe, and make it feel polished with details that bring the whole look together.

Tailored colourA suit doesn’t have to mean black or navy. Soft blues, deep burgundy or windowpane patterns can feel formal, polished and full of personality.
