Wedding dress codes are divisive.
Women and men alike agonise over the particular details of what they’re actually meant to wear. You can’t wear white, right? Is black morbid? WHAT ARE THE BRIDESMAID’S WEARING? What really is ‘smart casual’ in a wedding setting anyway?
Earlier this month in Byron Bay, lawyer and social media influencer Pia Muehlenbeck married her creative director husband Kane Vato.

The celebration of 100 people was impeccably planned down to the very last detail, including, of course, the dress code.
In the lead up to the big day, Grazia reports that the happy couple provided guests with a “mood board” to inspire their outfit choices.
Based on the incredible photos, which you can peruse at Grazia, the mood board appears to have encouraged earthy, neutral tones. And it immediately paid off.

Married twice, me, two renewal of vows ceremonies too. Didn’t tell guests what colours to wear at any of those, prefer to be surprised. Full control is so boring.
I see the pendulum swinging back the other way one day.
Do what you like, I guess, but if I went to a wedding with a dress code like this, I’d think their first priority was how good their pictures looked on Instagram, rather than having the people they care about at their wedding.
It is, but all their guests are there to post the photos on Instagram too, with the caption ‘I love celebrating love’. Weddings are an always have been a status symbol. If the prioritywas to have the people you love there they wouldn’t be events with 200+ guests and at the cost of a house deposit.
Agree. I think there’s definitely a group of people out there that would live quite different lives if they weren’t able to showcase certain elements on Instagram.
