What is a garden wedding dress code for guests?

Garden weddings call for outfits that look polished but feel practical. For women, a midi or knee-length dress in a light or floral print works well, or a smart jumpsuit. For men, a lightweight suit in linen or cotton, or chinos with a blazer, is appropriate. Avoid very formal black-tie wear, as it can feel out of place on grass. Also avoid stilettos, which sink into lawns; choose block heels, wedges, flat sandals or smart trainers. Bring a light cardigan or jacket because UK evenings can turn cool. If the wedding is in summer, dress for warmth but also for shade and sun. If it might rain, bring a brolly and a waterproof layer. Always respect the couple's wishes: if they specify a theme or colour, follow it. As a general rule, do not wear white or cream, as that is usually reserved for the couple. For men, a tie is often optional unless stated. For women, avoid very long dresses that might drag on wet grass. The key is to be comfortable and neat, so you can enjoy the day without worrying about your outfit.
