FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We would love to have our friends and family dress up with us! Our dress code is formal attire. This means that gentlemen should dress in suits and ties. Ladies should wear floor-length dresses. Please avoid jeans, sneakers, or white/ivory/cream (or any white adjacent) clothing. However, men wearing white shirts under their suit jacket is okay. To distinguish yourself from the wedding party, note that bridesmaids are wearing English rose/mauve and family is wearing sage green. Additionally, we are requesting that our guests dress in our color scheme (see color palette above). Black suits for the men or black dresses for the ladies are also okay! We have created a Pinterest board with attire inspiration and linked it below: https://www.pinterest.com/art7715/wedding-guest-inspo/

When should I RSVP by?

While we love your little ones, we have decided to keep our wedding an adult-only event (18+). Please plan to make other accommodations for your children if necessary. We want parents to be able to enjoy a night off. Thank you for your understanding.
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We will be having an "unplugged ceremony." This means that we are asking that all phones and devices be put away and silenced during the ceremony. We have hired a wonderful professional photographer and videographer to capture everything and would hate to have a well-meaning person's phone blocking the capture of a special moment. We also want our guests to be able to enjoy and be present in the moment. However, we do welcome pictures and videos to be taken during the reception and will provide plenty of photo opportunities.
Question
Where can we send gifts?
Answer
Your presence on our special day is the greatest gift of all. If you would like to bless us with a gift, we do have a limited registry linked on this website. However, due to our circumstances, we do not have the capacity to accept many gifts. Instead, we are asking for financial contributions towards our futures together if you are interested in sending a gift.
Question
Will there be dancing?
Answer
Yes! We will be having music and dancing. Plan to bring comfortable shoes so that you can party with us. We are so looking forward to celebrating with you all.
Question
Will there be alcohol?

No. We are having a dry wedding and our venue does not allow outside alcohol on site. However, there will be unlimited sodas, tea, and water throughout the night.
