E<\/b>kta Hathiramani, the woman behind Panache Events, a wedding and event specialist, holds high importance to dress codes. \u201cI think that stating a dress code on the invitation for any special occasion is important,” she says, “especially when it\u2019s a wedding. Dress codes are there for a reason \u2013 it\u2019s a note to remind the guests how the couple would like them to appear on their special day. From the weddings that I have helped organise in Singapore, I find that there will always be a group of people who will turn up under-dressed or look like they paid no attention to the dress code at all. Couples also need to make sure their stated dress codes are not vague, because sometimes, it could be a case of guests not understanding what is meant by “Semi-Formal”, for instance.\u201d<\/p>
