Venues & Recommendations

The Wedding Location Sets the Tone

Choosing the right wedding location not only creates a beautiful ambiance but also allows you and your bride to dictate the exact dress code you would like at your wedding. Whether creating a super formal setting or a more casual one, it helps make the special day even more perfect.

Use the location you chose to set the tone for the rest of the evening. In this article MOND will give you our recommendations to some examples of how things could be done.

Chateau or Castle

Start your fairytale romance by choosing a chateau for your wedding venue. Picture-perfect ballrooms, wood-paneled walls, glittering chandeliers, and majestic marble staircases imbue your celebration with regal elegance. Outside is surrounded by manicured lawns, charming terraces, towering parapets, and lush gardens, offering a plethora of stunning backdrops for your wedding party photos.

A venue like this screams black-tie! Is there anything cooler than a grandiose setting with people dressed to the finest, champagne, and majestic surroundings? We think not.

Opting for a wedding like this, it’s absolutely key that a dress code is established and all traditional rules are upheld. Venues like these aren’t cheap, and guests have just as important a role in making the day and evening unforgettable.

Countryside

Nestled in picturesque landscapes, barn and farm venues blend rustic charm with contemporary style. The natural surroundings add a charm you won’t find anywhere else. Personalized with fairy lights twinkling amidst lush greenery, chic seating areas invite guests to unwind. Minimalist table settings add a touch of elegance to the countryside setting, creating a memorable backdrop for your event.

With a wedding like this, the options are plentiful and the color palette even broader. At MOND, we recommend a semi-formal dress code. You can even incorporate colours, themes, or fabrics.

For weddings like these, nothing beats a groom wearing a three-piece suit, preferably in neutral colours with or without a pattern. The forrest green TwistAir suit, in particular, fits the vibe perfectly. Many choose to add an odd waistcoat to achieve a unique and more casual look.

Resort or Beach wedding

These venues are renowned for their impeccable staff, top-notch facilities, and often stunning surroundings—particularly when nestled within a vacation resort. However, one of the main attractions of hotel and resort venues is their unparalleled convenience. Hosting the ceremony, reception, and out-of-town guests in one location eliminates the logistical hassle of shuttling people between different venues.

Whether overlooking an ocean, lake, or river, there’s an undeniable romantic and tranquil atmosphere surrounding a wedding venue near a body of water. For the ceremony, many waterside venues provide dedicated setups with arches or gazebos that you can customize to your liking. The reception space may vary from a pavilion or expansive tent to an indoor setting or even a picturesque outdoor area, particularly if situated in Southern Europe or other tropical destinations.

Stay true to the vibe, destination, and temperature, and invite your guests to dress for a beach or garden party in attire suitable for summer suits and summer dresses.

Two suits commonly seen in settings like these are our Tan TwistAir and Natural Twill linen suits. Both of these suits can be dressed up, down, or even worn as separates, making them perfect for a barefoot ceremony at the beach or, for a more formal touch, in a beautiful garden paired with chic brown loafers.

In the City

When getting married in the city, you should opt for something that complements the rougher environment and often more urban vibe. Lately, venues like old warehouses, minimalist glass buildings, and modern-designed common areas at restaurants, hotels, or apartments are being used for weddings, as they give this big city atmosphere that many people demand.

Nothing complements these venues like a navy, black or dark grey suit. If you want to go formal, we would recommend a waistcoat to elevate the overall appearance. This way, you ensure that you stand out among your peers.

As a twist, you could opt for a light grey suit if your venue is situated near modern buildings by the water, to give a more summery and less old-school vibe.

Garden Party

Garden weddings embrace natural beauty and offer a romantic setting amidst lush greenery. Popular venues include botanical gardens, vineyards, and private estates. Couples can incorporate floral arrangements, rustic decor, and lanterns to create a whimsical or rustic chic atmosphere. With the enchanting ambiance of fresh blooms and gentle breezes, garden weddings provide a memorable experience for all.

The great thing about garden weddings is they offer you a more relaxed atmosphere where you and your relatives can enjoy the day and evening. Relaxation is key. With a wedding like this, you can choose almost any kind of attire. Whatever you and your bride feel gives the best celebration.

All the classic colours are definitely a great decision, but you could add a bit of spice and opt for something along the lines of: Brown TwistAir, Dark Green TwistAir or Burgundy TwistAir.
