the ATTIRE
STRICTLY FORMAL
•
CREATIVE BLACK TIE
Think classic black tie — but with personality. Formal silhouettes are a must (tuxedos, gowns, chic suits), but feel free to play with bold colors, statement accessories, luxe textures, or unexpected details. Elegant, polished, and a little expressive.
for the LADIES
Floor-length gowns are always a beautiful choice, but elevated midi dresses or sleek, tailored sets are just as welcome. Think luxe fabrics like satin, silk, velvet, or crepe — and don’t be afraid of bold colors, modern cuts, subtle sparkle, or statement sleeves. Finish with polished heels and standout accessories. Elegant at its core, expressive in the details.
Please feel free to wear shades of GREENS, MAUVES, BROWNS, and BLACKS.
GENTLE REMINDER: please do not wear white, ivory, cream, off-white, light baby pink, or any color that can look white in photos.
for the GENTS
A tuxedo is the foundation but this is your cue to add personality.
Classic black is always welcome, yet deep jewel tones in the theme colors, velvet jackets, subtle patterns, or modern tailoring are just as fitting.
A crisp dress shirt and formal shoes are a must; bow ties, statement lapels, unique cufflinks, or luxe textures are highly encouraged.
When in doubt, wear a black formal suit.
