Question

What is the dress code for the wedding?

Answer

Men: Jacket and tie Women: Semi-formal or cocktail dresses We would love for you to embrace the spirit of spring by wearing your favorite pastel colors or floral patterns. We kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing dresses with a significant amount of white so that the bride can stand out on her special day. Given that our wedding will be in a garden setting, we recommend opting for chunky heels or wedges instead of stilettos to avoid sinking into the grass. Weather can be unpredictable, so come prepared with a light jacket or pashmina for your comfort.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. This includes plus-ones and children. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

We are having an "unplugged ceremony". This means that we are asking all phones and devices be put away and on silent during the ceremony. We have hired a professional to capture some of the most important moments of our day, and we would hate to have a well-meaning person's phone blocking that moment for them to capture. After the ceremony is complete, feel free to take as many photos as you'd like! We kindly ask that you stay out of the photographers' way so they are able to capture everything as well. If you do take any photos, please send them or tag us so we can share them as well! We will be sure to share our ceremony pictures as soon as we receive them.
