When two unlikely themes collide, it can often be a match made in heaven. A black tie garden wedding is not necessarily a standard dress code, but it is a dress code that is becoming more and more popular. As couples want to combine the ethereal nature of a garden scene with the timeless essence of a black tie code. When we think about what it means to have a black tie garden dress code, we think of the merging of light and dark.
Black tie meets garden in a number of ways, you can opt for a black dress, but perhaps make it a midi rather than a gown, or make it more of a lightweight number rather than a heavy ball gown. You could also consider something pastel coloured, but make it sparkle with sequins to bring a bit of black tie essence to your garden. There are a number of ways to bring both black tie and garden to your wedding guest look, and in addition to colour and silhouette, you can also accessorise bring a sense of finality to your look.
Sophisticated Pastels
Turn garden pastels into black tie by adding a bit of sophisticated sparkle. Sequins are the perfect choice for a black tie garden wedding guest as they bring a touch of glimmer as well as a bit of whimsy, especially when they are pastel coloured. If you would prefer to not opt for sequins, then opt for a pastel coloured gown with a sophisticated off the shoulder neckline, this would also pair perfectly with some drop earrings and a sparkling heel.
Classic Yet Airy
When it comes to dressing for a black tie garden dress code, consider silhouettes that lend from a classic silhouette, but in a lightweight fabric. Lightweight fabrics will be airy and comfortable, perfect for a wedding set in the garden under the sun. Styles made from chiffon or satins are a great choice for a garden wedding. Opt for styles that have classic necklines such as v necklines or high necklines to bring a bit of black tie to the garden scene.
Whimsy Meets Glamour
Garden weddings always have a whimsical nature about them, while black tie weddings bring the glamour. Combine whimsy with glamour by choosing styles that embrace both features. Details such as rosettes or bows will transform a glamourous black tie silhouette into something a little more ethereal for a garden setting. Wear your dress with some glittering jewellery and a chic clutch for an extra special black tie garden wedding guest look.
