Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Cocktail Attire is Required, Fancier is welcome! We’re going for a romantic, celebratory vibe—polished, a little playful, and perfect for an evening of mingling, dancing, and cocktails. Ladies: ✨ Cocktail dresses, midi or flowy maxi dresses, or dressy jumpsuits. Pair with heels, wedges, or chic flats. 🚫 Please skip white/ivory (reserved for the bride), jeans, sneakers, casual sundresses, or very clubby looks. Tip: Our ceremony is on grass—consider comfortable heels or heel protectors. Gents: ✨ A suit, or a blazer with slacks and a button-down. Ties are optional but welcome. Dress shoes, loafers, or polished boots complete the look. 🚫 Please skip jeans, khakis, athletic wear, sneakers, flip-flops, or an all-white/ivory outfit (white dress shirts are fine). We can’t wait to see you dressed up and ready to celebrate!
