Working out what to wear to a wedding can be a pain.
For guests at the upcoming nuptials of socialite and fitness influencer Bernadette Fahey to businessman Jordan Sukkar, the work has already been done for them.
Along with their invite, guests were provided sartorial instructions but not quite as intense as the mood boards we’ve seen from other ceremonies.
“It isn’t a mood board but guests were sent some inspiration for dresses – colourful gowns,” Fahey told Confidential.
Black tie is the theme of the imminent event that will see some of Sydney’s best known society faces frock up for the occasion.
Some of the names expected include Deborah Symond O’Neil, Caroline Tran, Olivia Bond and Nikki Campbell. They all attended her hen’s day earlier this month with the gal pals doing a pilates session before heading out for a fancy lunch and a cruise around the harbour on a luxury yacht.
Fahey and Sukkar, COO of construction company Buildcorp, became engaged in July when he proposed to the pilates instructor on a romantic getaway in Tinos, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea.
In 2018, influencer Pia Muehlenbeck issued specific instructions to guests on what they should wear to her wedding.
“Everyone is requested to wear natural earth tones, please see photo inspiration at the bottom of this page,” the 26-year-old and her partner Kane Vato wrote on their wedding page, kaneandpia.com.
“We would love if everyone could adhere to this direction with their attire. Light, muted, earthy, natural tones.”
The Pinterest-style mood board featured fashion inspirations with models in designer threads with their heads cut off all in the “earth tone” colour palette. There were five suggestions for males and seven for women, including silk, linen and cotton fabrics in approved colours and shades.
Vogue Australia published an article in June on what is seemingly becoming a growing trend of wedding dress codes.
They asked: “When it comes to wedding dress codes, how far can you go?
“Averse to poorly dressed wedding guests? New-wave brides are taking matters into their own hands. Here, we investigate the rise of the exhaustive wedding dress code, and ask: is there such a thing as over-curation?”
And also in June, The Washington Post wrote: “Wedding dress codes have never been weirder.”
