 Either the guys need to dress up more, or the bride should dress down more.

 It bears mentioning that those composite photos may not be from the same wedding, but rather could be a Frankenstein's monster of weddings that "matched."

 My sister's first husband worked for a huge "swanky" law firm that hosted frequent social events.  They had a very creative, in-house events planner who was was adept at creating new dress code directions for each invitation. My sister was always trying to interpret what this woman meant by: "Country Club Whimsical" or "Snappy Chic Semi-Formal" or "Fun Formal".  My sister thought she did it on purpose to drive everyone nuts and see what the wives would turn up in.

 Funny, but true.  I blame pinterest. Don't make up some wackadoo dress code name when what you're looking for is easily defined by pre-existing dress codes.  It's unfortunate because the people that make these up are probably trying to convey that their guests can have a little bit of fun with their attire, and are only succeeding in stressing them out for having to decipher "Prohibition Paddy Wagon Chic."
