Wedding dress code for ladies — elegant cocktail: recommended styles, tips and what to avoid

The look

An evening or cocktail dress with a formal feel. Dark, elegant, understated tones are the winners — they shine at night by the lake and photograph beautifully under the lights.

Crossed out: white dress and burgundy dress — reserved for the bride and bridesmaids

Reserved colours

Please no white, ivory or cream — those belong to the bride alone. And no burgundy — that's the bridesmaids' colour for the night (both pictured above). Steering clear of both families entirely keeps every photo perfect.

Jewel tones and soft muted shades — elegant colour choices for the evening

Colour is welcome

Rich, vibrant colour is more than welcome — jewel tones, deep blues, greens, plums, even a beautiful bold shade. Just save the neon and ultra-flashy tones for another night, so the evening keeps its elegant glow.

Block heels, wedges and elegant sandals on grass

Heels & grass

Heels are absolutely welcome — just know that part of the dinner terrace sits on grass, so block heels or wedges are the smart play over stilettos.

Comfort notes

The ceremony, cocktails and dinner are outdoors on a warm September evening (~28°C days, mild nights), and the party moves inside with air conditioning until 3 AM. Dress to enjoy every chapter.
