Dress code

Black-Tie Optional

Estate formal. Think candlelit ballroom in late winter. Two ways to answer it — pick whichever you'd rather dance in.

For Her

Watercolor of three women guests in an emerald gown, a burgundy pantsuit and a navy cocktail dress

The Gown

Floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail-length dresses. Jewel tones, deep neutrals and metallics are lovely; please leave white and ivory to the bride.

The Pantsuit

A tailored pantsuit or wide-leg trousers with a silk blouse is just as welcome — burgundy, olive or ink. A wrap for the terrace is wise; it's March.

For Him

Watercolor of three men guests in a black tuxedo, a charcoal open-collar suit and a navy suit with tie

The Tuxedo

Tuxedo or a dark, well-tailored suit with a tie. The groom will be in a burgundy dinner jacket with black formal trousers, and the bridesmaids in burgundy too.

The Cocktail Suit

A dark suit with the collar open — no tie required. Smart, comfortable, and perfectly dressed for a long evening of food, wine and dancing.
