Dress Code: Summer Coastal Garden Party (Semi-Formal) *Please no casual clothes, dark colors, & please no white!*

Semi-Formal Description: The attire is semi-formal, suggesting a step up from casual but not as formal as black-tie. Think polished and stylish outfits appropriate for an outdoor, garden setting with a coastal feel.

For Women:

Dresses: Midi or maxi dresses are perfect, preferably in light, airy fabrics like linen, cotton blends, chiffon, or silk.

Colors and Patterns: Soft pastels, floral prints, or bright, summery hues are ideal. Coastal-inspired colors like blues, greens, and pinks could also work well.

Silhouettes: Choose flowing silhouettes and styles that are both elegant and comfortable. Avoid overly revealing or tight-fitting outfits.

Shoes: Wedges, block heels, or dressy flats are great choices, as they're practical for walking on grass or uneven surfaces.

Accessories: Delicate jewelry, a stylish clutch.

For Men:

Suits: Light-colored suits in linen, cotton, or seersucker would be excellent choices.

Blazers: A blazer with dress pants or chinos can also work, particularly for a less formal interpretation of the dress code.

Shirts: Crisp button-down shirts in light or bright colors, or even a subtly patterned shirt.

Shoes: Loafers, boat shoes, or other dress shoes are suitable. Sandals might be acceptable for a very relaxed, casual garden party, but closed-toe shoes are safer bets.

Accessories: A colorful tie or pocket square can add personality, while sunglasses are both stylish and practical.

Dress Code: ’Sunset on the Coast’. (Cocktail Attire) *Please no casual clothes & please no white!*

Cocktail Attire Description: Cocktail attire is a semi-formal dress code, more elevated than business casual but less formal than black tie.

For women: It often includes knee-length or midi dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or chic separates with heels or stylish flats. Flowy dresses in blush pinks, champagne satins, or nude-toned chiffons are popular choices. Some might opt for sophisticated jumpsuits or separates in similar hues, accessorized with delicate gold jewelry and perhaps a touch of sparkle.

For Men: It typically involves a suit (optional), tie (optional), and polished shoes. Might choose light-colored dress pants in shades of beige, grey, or light pink, paired with crisp white, or matching color button ups and pocket squares in complementary shades.
