Question

Is there a dress code for the Wedding?

Answer

For our wedding, we’re excited to embrace a black-tie formal dress code! Guests should feel comfortable and glamorous—think Met Gala meets Kentucky Derby. We encourage fun textures like feathers and sequins, but please avoid black, red, or white dresses. This is a chance to showcase your style while celebrating our special day! If you have any questions about your outfit, don’t hesitate to coordinate with the bride or bridal party. We can't wait to see your stunning looks!
