The Wedding Website of Catherine Shepherd and Gregory May
Frequently Asked Questions. If you have a question that is not included below or cannot find an answer to on the website, please reach out to either Catherine or Greg.
Question

What is the dress code? What should I wear?

Answer

Picking out what to wear for a wedding can be difficult! Depending on who you ask or what website you go on, each attire can be explained differently. For our wedding, think of the appropriate attire as a hybrid between cocktail, semi-formal, and formal attire. Please refer to the collage above for outfit inspiration. There is no color palette or theme to adhere to. Appropriate outfits include: mid-calf to floor length dresses, dressy jumpsuits, jacket and tie, or suits (tuxes not necessary).
