What should you write in the FAQ about dress code on a wedding website?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

State the dress code in plain words, for example "smart casual" or "black tie optional", and give a few examples of what to wear. Add any practical notes like indoor or outdoor setting.

Be specific so guests do not feel underdressed or overdressed. Write the dress code as a short phrase, then give examples. For a garden wedding, you might say "smart casual: dresses, skirts, chinos, or smart jeans with a blazer." For an evening do, say "cocktail attire: knee-length dresses, suits or smart separates." If the ceremony is in a church or register office, mention that shoulders should be covered if that matters to you. If the venue has a lawn, say whether heels are okay or suggest block heels. If there is a theme, like a colour palette, say it is optional, not required. Also mention any cultural or religious dress expectations, for example head coverings in a place of worship. If you are unsure about a specific rule, say guests can ask you or check the venue's guidance. Keep it friendly and reassuring. End with a line like, "The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and ready to celebrate with us."
