Dress Code for a Paisa Wedding: An Easy Guide

‍

My lovely ladies: Let’s get glam for the big day!

Hello there! I wanted to give you all a few little tips on what to wear for our wedding celebration in Medellín. But first, a little disclaimer - know that each of you is already gorgeous just as you are, and beauty truly shines from within. That said, let's all have fun with our outfits and get ready to capture some fabulous photos together!

The Dress Code: Elegantly yours (With a few colour requests)

For my amazing friends and family, I’m asking for an elegant vibe—whatever makes you feel fabulous and ready to celebrate! Whether you love a short cocktail dress or a flowing long gown, go with what makes you feel incredible.

‍

My only requests are:

‍

1. NO white or red

2. NO soft pastel tones like these ones

Think bold and timeless colours - solid tones, vibrant prints, or even a touch of sparkle if that’s your style! I want you to feel amazing, look radiant, and blend perfectly with Medellín's warm weather and spring vibe, as you know it's the City of Eternal Spring.

Shoe talk: Comfort is key

Colombian weddings are all about dancing the night away, so let’s be smart with our shoes. While I know we all love a good heel moment, I recommend bringing a pair of flats, tennis shoes, or cute sandals to change into when the dance floor calls. This way, you can let loose without any aches holding you back!

Dear Men

I do not really care what you wear, but I felt if the girls are getting such a detailed description, you should get some wise thoughts from myself as well.

Dress like James Bond

In general I think it's never wrong to dress like James Bond.
