Black Tie optional

Black Tie Optional is a formal dress code that refers to male guests having the option to wear a Tuxedo or Formal suit. It suggests the men of the wedding party will be wearing tuxedos, but does not mandate guests to do so.

For women, the dress code remains largely unchanged. Black Tie and Formal both emphasize modest gowns (or pantsuits) designed with quality fabrics and paired with fine or statement jewelry. They avoid daring necklines, short hemlines, and loud hues to bring about a classic and elegant aesthetic.
