Wedding season is in full swing, and with it comes the age-old question: What should I wear? Whether the invite says black tie, beach formal, or garden casual, we’ve got a dress for every dress code—so you can RSVP “yes” and look your best while doing it.

Black Tie

Go full glam. Think long hemlines, luxe fabrics, and elegant silhouettes. A floor-length dress with subtle sparkle or rich satin is perfect for evening affairs. Pair with heels, statement earrings, and a sleek clutch.

Style Pick: A ball gown or a flowy chiffon maxi with a dramatic neckline.

Tip: Check out our formal gown selection upstairs, in store only! 

Formal / Black Tie Optional

This dress code calls for elevated elegance, but not quite red carpet. Opt for a midi or floor-length dress with refined details—like soft ruffles, lace, or a romantic one-shoulder silhouette.

Style Pick: A floor length gown, but less dramatic than the Black Tie dress code (but its still fun to have an excuse to dress up)

Cocktail Attire

Fun, flirty, and polished. A-line dresses, fit-and-flares, or tailored minis are all fair game. Go bold with color or prints, and don’t be afraid of a statement accessory.

Style Picks: A short or midi length dress that has a modern, tailored feel with delicate detailing—ideal for late afternoon or evening weddings. Check out our cocktail and formal section in store only! 

Beach Formal

This one’s all about balance: you want to look put-together, but stay cool and comfortable. Think flowy maxi dresses, breathable fabrics, and relaxed elegance.

Style Picks: The Patty Kim Marni Dress pairs breezy fabric with coastal charm—perfect for a ceremony in the sand. The Pretty in Pink Dress is breezy, but can be dressed up or down based on the vibe. Finally, the Jude Connally Mirabella Dress in Bamboo Rattan - Sand Gold even says it in the name! A beachy neutral with the perfect amount of pop in the gold detailing. 

Garden Party / Daytime Casual

Go light, bright, and feminine. Look for eyelet, florals, and pastel tones in midi lengths. Bonus points for sundresses that transition seamlessly to brunch the next day.

Style Picks: The Lilly Pulitzer Daphne Dress in pink is sweet, summery, and effortlessly chic. The Patty Kim Kelly Dress—easy, elegant, and so flattering for a daytime event. The Lilly Pulitzer Sydnee Maxi Dress is easy and cool, perfect if you're planning to have sandy toes. 

Style Tip: Always check the venue and time of day for extra clues. And when in doubt, it’s better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed.
