Wedding Attire
Dress Code: Black Tie Optional
Theme: camp
We’ve chosen Black Tie Optional for our wedding celebration. This means you should dress to impress, but with a touch more flexibility than a traditional black-tie event.
Feel free to embrace your formalwear flair with a tuxedo or evening gown. Alternatively, a fashion-forward formal dress or sharp suit would also be perfectly appropriate.
A fashion note from Sarrah…
“We want our wedding to be your own personal Fashion Week runway, and we want you to have fun with it and look as fabulous as possible!
All are strongly encouraged to truly embrace CAMP and play with texture, color, and maximalism as much as possible. Nothing is too much and no idea is too crazy! Fashion is art, and you, our guest, are your own unique art piece. Our goal is for everyone to feel comfortable expressing their style while we celebrate together, while each get their once in a lifetime Met Gala moment!”
Cheekiness is crucial to understanding camp. In hand with pastiche, theatricality, and irony, it’s become the dominating mode of communication in contemporary culture. In an essay in the exhibition’s catalog [Met Gala, Camp: Notes on Fashion], the scholar Fabio Cleto writes that “camp exists in the pun and metaphor of spectacles—as the show and its frame, what is seen and what enables seeing.” Camp is the lens and what you see through it—or, for our younger readers, both the filter and the selfie you take with it. It’s “a history of gazes” and “a means of taste consumption.”
