We are asking all of our guests to wear ALL BLACK. We highly encourage black-tie attire and would love our guests to dress up with us. This means black suits, black shirts and black dresses, DRESS TO THE NINES! Elevated cocktail attire will also work.

Question

What does "black-tie encouraged" mean?

Answer

"Black-tie encouraged" means we are hoping guests will dress in formal evening attire or their most formal attire. For men, this typically means wearing a tuxedo or black suit tie optional, while women are encouraged to wear a formal evening gown, a chic cocktail dress, or an elegant dressy outfit. We understand that not everyone may have access to a tuxedo or gown, so everyone is welcome to dress in their best formal wear.
