What to Wear
Dress Code
✦
Formal SummerSoirée
For the Ladies
Think vibrant florals, bold colour, and beautiful fabrics. We love summer pastels, warm oranges, corals, purples and blues. Bring colour and joy to the celebration. Long dresses and elegant midi lengths are all very welcome.
For the Gentlemen
Formal suits with shirts and ties are perfect. Classic darker suits are welcome paired with a polished summer feel. Think a well-knotted tie and smart shoes for a warm December evening. Black suits are particularly suited to evening wear.
We love Mode by Michaela Romy, a beautiful local hire option. A special discount code will be shared closer to the day. Watch this space.
