FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

For the wedding ceremony and reception, please dress in formal attire. This means elegant floor-length gowns, chic midi dresses, a classic suit and tie, or a tuxedo if you wish. Since our ceremony will be outdoors in a garden, we recommend choosing footwear that’s comfortable and suitable for walking on grass and uneven surfaces. The overall vibe is timeless black-and-white elegance, so dress to impress! For the welcome party, cocktail attire is perfect. Think elevated but comfortable—dresses, jumpsuits, dressy separates, or slacks with a button-up. It’s a relaxed yet stylish way to kick off the weekend and celebrate together.
