FAQs

The Wedding Website of Benjamin Phillips III and Talia Brown
We can’t wait to celebrate with our family and friends, and we would love to see everyone dressed for the occasion. The evening attire is formal, women are encouraged to wear floor‑length gowns or formal dresses, and men should wear suits, dress shirts or collared shirts, and slacks. Garden party attire encouraged. Think soft, light, and seasonal colors: pastels, florals, and airy tones. We kindly asky guests to avoid darker shades like black and to refrain from wearing jeans, as well as colors traditionally reserved for the bride and bridal party, including white, ivory, cream, blush, or similar shades. Still unsure? Please refer to the style guide above for inspiration.
