Wedding Courtesy

Question

Can I wear white?

Answer

While modern times say it is acceptable for women (other than the bride) to wear white to a wedding, we are going to ask that you respect the more traditional approach and stay away from white attire. While it might seem a little forward, or blunt to write this... Please don't be that one person who shows up wearing white. This takes away from the symbolic representation of the White Wedding Dress that the bride holds very respectfully in her mind. Not trying to tell you how to dress, but there it ladies!

Question

Can I take pictures at the ceremony?

Answer

Please Don't. We are going to ask in advanced that you leave your cells phones in your pockets and purses during the ceremony and on vibrate! We will be having two AMAZING videographers and a photographer on site, and would like all of our shots cellphone free. In return, we will HAPPILY share all of our wonderful photos and videos with you when we get them.

Question

Do I need to use the Childcare?

Answer

YES! While we realize this might seem unusual, we have recognized in the past that children and wedding do not mix, because let's be honest... they get bored! So we have happily paid two well trained individuals to watch your children for the duration of the ceremony. When the ceremony is finished, and the celebration begins, you can go collect your young ones again and have them sit with you during the reception. Please keep in mind, however, that these babysitters are only paid to watch your children during the ceremony, so you must come collect them for the reception.

Question

Do I have to follow the dress code?

Answer

We have the dress code listed as cocktail attire. For us, this means closer along the lines of Sunday best. We want you to feel comfortable! But believe me. When Audrey says comfortable, there's always an unspoken "within reason" behind that line. We want you to be comfortable! But we also want you to look your best. If you want to dress up a little fancier, then by all means! strut your stuff! But don't feel obligated to come in a long formal gown, a tuxedo, or anything with sparkles on it.
