Guest dress code requirements: When the invitation says black tie: - A tuxedo or dinner suit is expected - Dark colours only: black or midnight blue - White shirt, black bow tie, polished black shoes - Waistcoat or cummerbund required When the invitation says black tie optional: - Tuxedo is preferred but dark formal suit is acceptable - If wearing a suit, choose navy, charcoal, or black - Pair with a conservative tie and white or light blue shirt - Ensure shoes are formal and polished What to avoid: - Wearing white or cream (reserved for the bride) - Arriving underdressed out of convenience - Wearing brown shoes, coloured shirts, or casual accessories - Eccentric choices that draw attention from the couple Practical considerations: - Confirm the dress code if unclear - Plan for weather and venue (outdoor ceremonies may require additional layers) - Bring essentials for touch-ups (lint roller, shoe shine cloth) 6

The empire waist is accented by a billow sleeve and center front floral accent
