Ah yes, the question on everyone's mind.

Short Answer

Dress like you're hanging out at a Hawaiian resort. It’ll be hot during the day and cool at night—plan your outfit accordingly!

Long Answer

Inspired by the iconic style of The White Lotus, this dress code is all about relaxed luxury with a splash of personality. Think breezy resort wear with a fashion-forward twist—flowy fabrics, bold prints, vibrant colors, and looks that say, “I’m effortlessly fabulous.”

But at its core, White Lotus Casual just means: dress comfortably. It’ll be warm—Carmel Valley averages around 80 degrees in June—so keep it light, breathable, and sun-ready for daytime, with a layer for those cooler evening breezes.

For those of you who love a fashion moment, we’ve put together a Pinterest board to spark inspiration.

And if fashion’s not your thing? Truly, come as you are. No one’s judging, we promise.

The rehearsal dinner is a more intimate gathering for family and invited guests only.

But don’t worry—there’s no shortage of incredible ways to spend your evening! We encourage everyone else to explore one of Carmel’s amazing restaurants or wineries. It’s the perfect excuse for a memorable night out in wine country.

Dress to impress, but also to celebrate. This is your moment too.
