The venue sets everything else — formality, fabric, footwear.

We'll bias the recommendations.
For a daytime garden wedding in summer, choose a floral or pastel midi or maxi dress in breathable fabric (linen, cotton, chiffon). Length should be at or below the knee. Pair with wedge sandals or block heels — the ground will be grass or soft surface, so avoid stilettos. Best palettes: dusty pink, sage green, butter yellow, lavender. Avoid pure white (reserved for the bride) and head-to-toe black.
Beach weddings are typically beach formal or beach casual. Choose a flowy maxi dress, midi sundress, or a chiffon two-piece in light colors. Fabrics should breathe — linen, silk, lightweight cotton. Footwear: flat sandals, espadrilles, or barefoot if the ceremony is on sand. Sun-friendly accessories: floppy hat, lightweight wrap.
Cocktail is between formal and semi-formal: knee-length to midi dresses, polished but not floor-length. Acceptable styles: sheath, fit-and-flare, bodycon, or a chic jumpsuit. Colors can be saturated — jewel tones, navy, deep red, emerald. Pair with heels, small clutch, statement earrings.
Yes, dressy jumpsuits and pant suits are widely accepted at modern weddings, especially for cocktail, semi-formal, and casual dress codes. Choose a tailored jumpsuit, palazzo pant set with a structured top, or a wide-leg pant suit. Avoid jeans, leggings, or casual slacks.
Avoid pure white, ivory, cream, blush, or champagne — these compete with the bride's dress. Avoid black at outdoor or daytime weddings (too funeral-feeling). Avoid loud neon colors. Best safe palettes: dusty pink, sage, lavender, navy, jewel tones, soft florals.
Black tie is strictly floor-length gowns or formal cocktail dresses with serious embellishment. Formal attire allows midi length and is slightly more flexible — a polished midi or knee-length cocktail dress works.
Daytime / outdoor: midi or knee-length. Evening / formal: midi to floor-length. Cocktail: knee to midi. Beach: midi or maxi for breeze coverage. Avoid mini dresses except at very casual urban weddings.
Vineyard weddings are rustic-elegant. Midi or maxi dress in dusty pastels, earth tones, soft florals. Avoid loud prints. Footwear: block heels or wedges — terrain is uneven, no stilettos. A lightweight cardigan or wrap for evening temperature drops.
