WHAT TO WEAR

We’ve created a few moodboards to capture the style and spirit of the weekend.

They’re meant as inspiration to help you get a feel for the tone of each event. Choose what makes you feel your best while staying within the dress code.

THE WEDDING DAY

Formal Attire

Ladies,

We invite you to wear an elegant long dress or floor-length gown.

Jewel tones, soft pastels, metallics, romantic prints, and classic black are all welcome. It’s a night to celebrate, so choose something you love.

Since parts of the venue include gravel and grass, we suggest formal footwear that feels comfortable and secure. Heel caps will be available for anyone in thin heels.


Gentlemen,

A formal suit is recommended. Classic tones such as black, navy, charcoal, or another dark shade you prefer are all great options. Tuxedos are optional, but always welcome.

For warmer weather, lightweight fabrics such as wool or cotton blends will help keep you comfortable throughout the evening.

Since parts of the venue include gravel and grass, dress shoes with a more secure sole are ideal.


THE WELCOME RECEPTION

Casual Chic Attire

Ladies,

We’re envisioning a relaxed, elegant evening.

Midi or maxi dresses, jumpsuits, or dressy separates are all welcome. Light, breathable fabrics work beautifully in soft colors, prints, or subtle texture.

A look that feels polished, relaxed, and suited to the celebration.


Gentlemen,

Think polished and suited to a warm-weather celebration.

Trousers or chinos paired with a button-down, lightweight blazer, or polo are all easy options. Dress shoes are welcome, and clean, minimal sneakers are also appropriate.

Lightweight fabrics will help keep things comfortable throughout the evening.


WHERE TO STAY

Below are hotel recommendations to help you plan your stay. Early June is a busy time in Barcelona due to the Primavera Sound Festival, so we recommend reserving accommodations early.

Castell de Sant Marçal is approximately 30 minutes from central Barcelona. For convenience, we recommend staying in and around Plaça Catalunya and the central Eixample area, which offer easy access to dining, shopping, and transportation.
