Is there a dress code?

We ask that our friends and family wear semi-formal (Sunday Best) attire. For women, this includes short to long dresses with flexibility in fabrics and patterns. For men this includes slacks and dress shirts with tie and suit jackets optional. As is traditional, please reserve white and similar shades for the bride. The bridesmaids will be dressed in a powder blue.
