What to Wear to a Semi-Formal Wedding

40 Perfect Fall Wedding Guest Dresses for September, October and November

40 Inexpensive Wedding Guest Dresses for Every Dress Code and Vibe

Semi-Formal/Dressy Casual...Or just wear what makes you happy!

We truly do not mind what you wear to our wedding. While many people love to dress up for weddings, that might not be your thing. Atalaya Castle has a path leading down to the ocean so you may even want to get your feet sandy. October in South Carolina is a tad unpredictable with the temperature, so we recommend bringing a sweater in case it gets chilly. We just want you to be comfortable and have fun!
