Black-tie optional means you’re warmly invited to wear formal evening attire if you’d like, but don’t worry if you prefer something less traditional. Think tuxedos, dark suits, or full-length gowns for those who want to go formal; cocktail dresses, dressy separates, or a sharp blazer and trousers are equally welcome.

Our wedding has a punk-rock vibe so feel free to interpret black-tie through that lens. Suggestions:

- Men: Tux or dark suit with a slim tie or bow tie; leather jacket or studded details welcome.

- Women: Floor-length gowns, cocktail dresses, or tailored separates; consider leather, lace, metallic accents, or bold makeup.

- Footwear: Formal shoes, boots, or stylish alternatives—comfort for dancing is encouraged.
