FAQs

Question

Do you have any gift preferences or items to avoid?

Answer

While we both enjoy lovely scents, we kindly ask that guests refrain from gifting scented items unless they are specifically listed on our registry. Due to allergies and asthma, strongly scented products—such as candles or wax melts—can be particularly triggering. Additionally, the bride has several skin sensitivities and generally needs to avoid fragranced products like certain soaps and perfumes. We truly appreciate your understanding and consideration in helping us stay comfortable and healthy.

Question

Why are there fewer kitchen items on your registry?

Answer

While many couples include a variety of kitchen items on their registry, we’re fortunate to already have a well-stocked kitchen between the two of us. We’ve added a few items that we truly need or would love to upgrade, but otherwise, we’re lucky to have most of the essentials already.

Question

What are your favorite colors?

Answer

Brandi loves red, pink, and purple, while Josh’s favorites are blue, black, and red. These are simply our personal favorite colors and aren’t tied to the wedding theme—we’ve just had a few people ask and wanted to share!

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

We want everyone to feel comfortable while celebrating with us in style. Our dress code is Country Chic — think rustic elegance with a western touch. Floral prints in earthy tones, soft neutrals, or romantic wedding-inspired colors are perfect, along with lace details, ruffled accents, flowy dresses, and dressy western-inspired attire. Cowboy boots are absolutely welcome! Our wedding colors are burgundy, navy, blush pink, and gold. If you’d prefer not to clash with the décor or wedding party colors, we recommend avoiding bright neons, overly bold prints, and white attire, though we encourage you to use your own discretion and personal style. A photographer and videographer will be present throughout the day capturing all the special moments, so we wanted to share the overall theme and color palette ahead of time. Weather permitting, the ceremony will take place outdoors, followed by an indoor dinner reception at the Shrine Club.

Question

Are guests allowed to take photos during the ceremony and reception?

Answer

We’ve hired both a photographer and a junior photographer to capture our day from multiple angles, so we can relive every special moment. During the ceremony, we kindly ask that guests refrain from taking photos so everyone can be fully present and our photographers can do their work without distraction. Once the reception begins, though, we’d love for you to join in capturing the celebration! Feel free to snap photos with your friends, your tablemates, and family of the bride and groom—especially during moments when the photographers are focused on the couple. We’re excited to see the day through your eyes, including all the little moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. We just ask that you please be mindful not to step in the way of our professional photographers. We’ll provide a QR code where you can easily upload and share your photos with us. Thank you for helping us preserve these memories—we truly appreciate it!

Question

What will guests do between the ceremony and reception?

Answer

While the couple is taking photos immediately following the ceremony, we’ve planned a few things for guests to enjoy. Weather permitting, we’ll have some yard games available. This is a great opportunity to mingle and to find yourself seats for the reception dinner. This is also a wonderful time to sign our guestbooks. We will have two options available: a Bible guestbook, where we invite you to sign your name and, if you’d like, leave a message or highlight a favorite verse; and an audio guestbook for spoken well-wishes. Please feel free to participate in either or both. There will also be a photobooth available during part of the night. We’re so grateful for your presence and can’t wait to celebrate together!

Question

Is seating assigned at the reception?

Answer

Seating will be open for most guests, so feel free to choose any available seat and make yourselves comfortable. There will be a reserved head table for the wedding party, their guests, and immediate family of the bride and groom. There will also be a table reserved for a few of Ms. Humphries’s special guests. Otherwise, we invite you to sit wherever you’d like and enjoy the evening with us!
