Wedding dress codes are getting very specific. kayleener reports on the couples dictating exactly what they want their guests to wear

We didn’t want anyone showing up like they didn’t understand the assignment.
In part, wedding dress codes have become more explicit because we don’t dress up much anymore. And it’s not just the pandemic’s fault. “In the past, everyone might have known what to wear to a wedding,” says Richard Thompson Ford, a professor at Stanford Law School and the author of Dress Codes: How the Laws of Fashion Made History. “It’s a wedding. But now there are no norms, and you need to be told.
For some couples, that fantasy is Bridgerton. Shelley Brown, senior fashion and beauty editor at The Knot, has seen a trend of Bridgerton-themed weddings, and, perhaps surprisingly, there hasn’t been much grumbling from guests about donning puff sleeves and trains. “We’re now in this collective state of mind where we want to celebrate, where we’re excited for things to go back to normal, and if that means you have to dress up like a character from Bridgerton, so be it,” she says.
She made another one for the welcome party . Then there was the actual wedding . As her wedding website read, “Our wedding weekend will be a celebration of love, food and of course, fashion — so we encourage everyone to BRING IT with their wardrobe!” Some couples are getting as granular as spelling out not only the colors guests should wear, but which particular shades, as Nicole Jarbo, a tech entrepreneur in Oakland, California, did for her June wedding to special-education director Eva Huffman. She’d wanted the ceremony to be in a flower-and-plant-filled space in San Francisco — “I’m a city person,” she says — but her bride wanted a rural, rustic setting.
