FAQs

Question

What is the wedding dress-code?

Answer

The dress code will be semi-formal. This will be at a Catholic Church and during the day, so light colors and airy fabrics work best for the timing/location of the event. Women can wear below-the-knee dresses, slip dresses, a dressy skirt and top, or an elegant pantsuit (styled with heels, nice wedges, or formal flats). As for men, opt for a dress shirt and slacks, with the option to wear a tie. "Semiformal gives you flexibility on comfort, but be sure not to dress too casually,"
