The Dress Code

Black-Tie Optional

Editorial · Lakeside · Timeless

Picture golden hour on a villa terrace above the lake. We invite you to dress beautifully — floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses, and a tuxedo or a well-cut dark suit. Think polished, romantic, and photograph-ready.

Our palette

Ivory
Stone
Taupe
Cypress
Charcoal

Yes, please

  • Floor-length gowns or elegant cocktail dresses
  • A tuxedo or a well-cut dark suit
  • Soft, timeless tones — our palette is a lovely starting point, not a rule

  • Most of all, be comfortable — we'll be dancing on the terrace all night

Best avoided

  • Please leave ivory, cream & white for the bride
  • Skip anything too casual — no denim or shorts, please

  • No trainers or flip-flops
