Is there a dress code?

We would love to see you dressed up with us! We are requesting a semi-formal dress code for the evening. We definitely encourage bringing a jacket for the evening. Color wise? Well, whatever you feel mirrors the beautiful botanical garden reception space. Respectfully, we request you do not wear whites, ivories, creams, mauve pink, nor olive green please.

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony is going to be held inside a Catholic church and the reception will take place in an outdoor botanical garden space. Please bring a jacket since it looks like it will be chilly in the evening. Heaters will be provided!
