The Wedding Website of Jessica Aparicio and Jason Trott
Anna Maria Island is considered one of the most romantic Florida beach wedding destinations, a perfect choice for a beach wedding. Boasting a pristine seven miles of sugar white sands, the island’s natural beauty is a testament to the restricted development codes-no building is over three stories. Locally owned conveniences ranging from shabby to chic. The island is filled with beach homes and condos for rent, some on the sand. If you are interested in unwinding on a romantic getaway, you have found the spot. Lots of natural vegetation and tall pine trees still exist, making this island feel more natural, less commercialized. Beautiful nature, romantic soft tropical feels, and the pristine of it all will have you falling in love.
Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal cocktail attire. Women Light fabrics that do not cling to the body are best. Materials like linen, chiffon, organza, and even cotton blends or lace are light but can still look luxurious. There is nothing worse than sweat marks on the back and front of a gown. Be sure to bring a light sweater or jacket or shawl as it can get chilly in the evening. Men Guys, you should consider wearing linen pants and a linen button down shirt. If you want to wear a suit, wear something lightweight like cotton or a linen suit that is loose fitting and comfortable while still remaining semi-formal. Light-colored sports coats are your best bet. Remember to look YOUR best, you will be photographed. :)
