Rules of Engagement

Whether your the bride-to-be or just toasting to the happy couple, the engagement party etiquette is a little more after-dark friendly than most wedding dress codes.

Although white is not off limits it has been noted to be favoured by the lucky lady so best to steer clear but otherwise put the sparkling disco dresses to good use when breaking out the champagne.

Save the maxi prairie styles for the big day and opt for more dance-floor friendly cuts. Bec & Bridge’s fitted jumpsuit warmed with a plaid blazer will set hearts on fire. For something a little risqué, play with sheer volumes like puff sleeves, ruffles and mesh. Brands like Alice McCall and Camilla and Marc are your go-tos.

Keep heels flossy and purses mini.
