The Dress Code

SummerFestive

Light fabrics, festive silhouettes and the colours the evening wears over the Tejo. We'll be celebrating under an open sky and in the lanes of Alfama, so think elegant sandals or shoes you can walk in. Lisbon will take care of the rest.

The Palette

The colours of the evening

Warm, muted tones with a deep wine red as the heartbeat — meant as inspiration, not a uniform. Only white we're keeping for ourselves this once.

Inspiration

Something like this

Forher

Flowing dresses, midi or maxi, in linen and silk, with block heels or elegant flats — the cobblestones of Alfama will thank you.

Forhim

A light suit in muted tones, shirt open or with a tie — and the jacket may go over the back of a chair the moment the dancing starts.

For thedetail

A wrap for the Atlantic breeze in the evening, a hat against the afternoon sun, something that catches the candlelight. Lisbon rewards a detail.

Good to Know

Cobblestones

The lanes of Alfama and the garden of the Quinta are all cobbled — thin heels sink, block heels and beautiful flats win the evening.

Atlantic breeze

Once the sun goes down, a cool breeze comes up off the Tejo and across the terrace. A light wrap or jacket is all you'll want.

Afternoon sun

At three in the afternoon the sun still sits high over the city: sunglasses and a hat are entirely welcome.

White & cream

White we're leaving to the bride this once. Every other colour of the summer is yours.
