Wedding Party

Mattie Allen

Maid of Honor

The bride’s cousin and one of her closest friends. A constant source of support, humor, and honest advice—always there to lend a hand, share a laugh, or listen to a good rant. A true confidante through every step of the journey.

Matthew Lyons

The BEST Man

Brother of the Groom. Known for his karaoke skills, dance floor antics (yes, he WILL drop it low), and being a silly, goofy dude through and through. Basically, the life of the party wrapped in a suit.

FAQs

Question

What is Cocktail Attire?

Answer

For Women: Maxi, midi, knee-length dresses, jumpsuit, or dressy pants with a formal top. Choose light fabrics like linen, chiffon, or cotton blends to stay cool outside. Dressy sandals, wedges, or flats are great—avoid stilettos since the ceremony is on grass. Bright colors are welcome! For Men: A lightweight suit or dress pants with a button-down shirt is perfect (no polos). A tie or jacket is optional. Pick breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or light wool. Loafers, dress shoes, or clean dressy sneakers work well—no flip-flops or athletic shoes. Feel free to wear light colors or fun patterns for summer!

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only affair. We hope you’ll take this as an opportunity to enjoy a night off — dinner, dancing, and no bedtime routines in sight!
