What to Wear to a Bushveld Wedding
Attending a bushveld wedding at Mbizi Lodge promises a memorable and unique experience. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the African wilderness, you’ll want to ensure your outfit is stylish and suitable for this outdoor setting. Whether you’re a wedding guest, part of the wedding party, or the happy couple themselves, here’s everything you need to know about dressing for a bushveld wedding.
Outdoor Attire Based on Season
The first consideration when choosing your bushveld wedding attire is the season. South Africa’s climate can vary, so it’s essential to dress accordingly. Opt for light and breathable fabrics such as linen or cotton for warm summer weddings. Men can wear smart-casual shirts and trousers, while women can choose elegant sundresses or flowy skirts.
During cooler months, layering is essential. Men can wear dress shirts under blazers or lightweight jackets paired with chinos or tailored trousers. Women can consider long-sleeved dresses or jumpsuits and accessorise with scarves or shawls to keep warm while looking chic.
What Is the Dress Code?
Bushveld weddings at Mbizi Lodge often have a more relaxed and casual vibe, but it’s essential to check the dress code specified by the couple. Some may opt for casual wedding attire, while others prefer a slightly more formal dress code. Men should consider wearing suits or dress pants with collared shirts and ties for formal weddings, while women can opt for elegant dresses or dressy tops and skirt or pant combos.
Men can wear smart-casual attire for more casual weddings, such as dress shirts without ties or blazers. Women can choose dresses or jumpsuits that balance comfort and style perfectly.
Outdoor Attire Etiquette
When attending a bushveld wedding, it’s essential to adhere to a few outdoor attire etiquette guidelines. Avoid wearing anything too revealing or overly casual, as a wedding is still a special occasion. Steer clear of white outfits to avoid clashing with the bride’s dress. Instead, opt for vibrant colours or prints that complement the natural surroundings.
Choosing the Right Outfit
Selecting the perfect outfit for a bushveld wedding involves balancing style, comfort, and appropriateness. Remember that you’ll likely be outdoors for a significant part of the day, so comfortable footwear is necessary. Opt for stylish yet practical shoes that can handle walking on various terrains.
As a wedding guest, consider accessorising with hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun while enhancing your ensemble. For the wedding party, coordinate your outfits to complement the bushveld surroundings, and remember to capture the stunning landscape in your wedding photos.
