FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

You should RSVP by June 1st, 2022. Try not to be one of the stragglers where we have to hunt you down for your dinner preference!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

You should arrive at Lawnhaven at 3:30 on the day of the wedding! Our ceremony will start promptly at 4 pm, so arriving 30 minutes before will allow you to get settled and find your seat.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! Our dress code is cocktail attire. Cocktail attire is a balance between formal and casual and elegant and comfortable. Men typically wear a suit and tie while women wear a cocktail dress. Our ceremony will be outside, rain or shine, so wear your best cocktail attire while considering the heat we may experience in July.

Question

What color are your bridesmaid dresses so I don’t show up in the same color?

Answer

Although the only off-limit color for our guests is white, you may also want to avoid the color sage green as Amanda’s lovely bridesmaids will be wearing this color. Fun fact: when Francis was a groomsman at his friend Peter and Kelli’s wedding, he forgot to tell Amanda that she was wearing the same color as the bridesmaids!

Question

Can I take photo or video during the ceremony?

Answer

We invite you to be fully present with us during our ceremony, so we kindly request that you silence and put away any phones or devices that may get in the way of our photographer’s shots. Our wedding photographer, Carina, is incredibly talented, and we promise that we will send out some sneak peeks shortly after our wedding. You don’t want to be that person that ruins Carina’s money shot by sticking your camera out into the middle of the aisle! After the ceremony, feel free to take as many pictures or videos as you’d like.
