Black tie attire inspiration for guests
Gentlemen
Classic
A black tuxedo with satin peak or shawl lapels is the gold standard. Pair with a white formal shirt, black silk bow tie, and patent leather oxfords.
Modern
A midnight blue or deep navy tuxedo offers a stylish alternative to classic black. Pair with a matching bow tie and sleek loafers for a contemporary edge.
Ladies
Classic
A floor-length evening gown is the quintessential black tie choice. Think elegant silhouettes in rich fabrics like silk, satin, or crepe with refined accessories.
Contemporary
One-shoulder gowns, dramatic draping, and rich jewel tones bring modern sophistication. Deep plum, emerald, and midnight hues are perfect for a destination celebration.
Color Guide
Quick Guide
Wear floor-length gowns or formal tuxedos. Choose rich, dark colors or elegant metallics. Accessorize with refined jewelry and polished shoes. Dress to impress — this is a celebration!
Avoid white, ivory, or cream — those are reserved for the bride. Skip casual suits, cocktail dresses, or jeans. Leave the sneakers at home. No overly casual or beachwear attire.
