Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We encourage all guests to wear spring semi-formal attire. Think polished and dressy with a fun spring feel. Pastels and light spring colors are encouraged, just please avoid shades that are too close to white. For women, this includes short cocktail dresses or midi dresses. For men, this includes dress pants with a button-down or a suit (ties optional). Please do not wear any jeans or overly casual attire.
