The Wedding Website of Brian Sandstrom and Avery Maltman
Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Semi-formal dress is appreciated. For men, suit and ties acceptable but please no chinos or jeans. For women, jumpsuits or floor length, midi, or cocktail dresses with chunky heels or wedges recommended. Blooming Hill is a real working farm - we suggest clothing choices that are comfortable and shoes that can withstand grass, mulch, pea-stone, and decking. The tent will be closed with heaters as the sun goes down, but an additional light layer could be useful for marshmallows by the campfire.
