We understand that cocktail attire could mean different things depending on the venue, the time of day, and the season. Lighter colors and fabrics are welcomed as the event is taking place in a warmer climate. While we want our guests to be comfortable, we kindly ask to please avoid wearing casual beach attire. For women, this is not the occasion to wear a heavy gala gown or a short mini skirt. An elegant, chic look wearing a knee-length, tea-length, midi or maxi (floor-length) dress are appropriate. As for shoes, the ceremony is taking place on a grass lawn and the reception will be inside the ballroom. Men should wear a suit or jacket with a tie during the formal portion of the event. This is not a black-tie event so you can leave your tuxedo at home. No jeans or shorts, please remember you're attending a wedding.
