So you just got invited to a wedding? How exciting! Now the time old question of “What am I going to wear?!?!”
Keep in mind that weddings are quite costly nowadays. The Bride + Groom put a lot of thought into their wedding day and it is only appropriate that you do the same by dressing for the occasion.
First and foremost, you should read the invitation for the dress attire. The couple states their dress code on the invitation, but it’s not always clear what they mean. We’ve created a handy little guide to help you with all of your wedding attire questions!
Translates to extremely formal. Meaning tuxedo for men, and a long gown for the ladies. Not often do we get to dress up for formal occasion, so do it up! Don’t forget to add some sparkle with accessories! Do keep in mind to keep it classy, don’t over accessorize or get too flashy.
I recommend wearing a nice cocktail dress that isn’t too short or revealing. Remember you want to be comfortable sitting for a period of time, as well as getting down on the dance floor. Solid colors are okay, although be wary of matching with the bridesmaids. Fun prints are fine too as long as it isn’t something too crazy!
Just because the wedding invitation says casual, this DOES NOT mean jeans are acceptable. Ever. Sans the flip flops too. I suggest wearing a nice summer dress or a breathable blouse and long skirt. You still want to look nice.
I hope this helps! We look forward to seeing you at our next wedding!

"We just had our wedding at Elliston and we were SO HAPPY with our entire experience. We initially chose Elliston because of its uniqueness. The day-of coordinator is a MUST-HAVE. We had Madeline and she was AWESOME. She was so responsive to all of my emails and questions. The on-site catering and alcohol service made the whole wedding planning process easier, and there was plenty of food! Elliston Vineyards will always be a special place for us now, and we’re happy they have wine tasting on weekends so we can come reminisce on our wedding day. Thank you to all Elliston staff and Madeline!" - Lindsey & Sam – July 25, 2015
