Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will start at 4:30 p.m.. Please arrive 30-45 minutes before the ceremony to get settled!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

This is something we feel very strongly about, and we kindly ask for your full support in helping us preserve the intimacy and meaning of our day!!! Our ceremony will be a STRICTLY UNPLUGGED experience. We respectfully ask that all phones, cameras, and recording devices REMAIN PUT AWAY from the moment the ceremony begins UNTIL IT CONCLUDES. This includes photos, videos, and any form of recording by guests. We have hired a professional photographer to thoughtfully capture every moment, and it is EXTREMELY important to us that our ceremony is experienced without distractions, screens, or interruptions. EQUALLY IMPORTANT to us, we ask that no photos or videos of US (the couple) are POSTED OR SHARED AT ANY TIME BEFORE WE HAVE OFFICIALLY SHARED OUR WEDDING IMAGES OURSELVES. This includes Instagram, Facebook, or any other platform. We truly value being the first to share our day in the way we have envisioned it, and we appreciate your respect in honoring that boundary. Thank you for understanding, respecting, and helping us protect the beauty, privacy, and intention of our ceremony!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We kindly request semi-formal attire for our celebration. For women, this may include midi or maxi dresses, elevated cocktail dresses, or refined two-piece sets. For men, this may include dress pants paired with a button-down shirt, with or without a blazer, and dress shoes. We invite you to dress in muted neutrals and deep, elegant tones—think rich earth tones, jewel shades, and classic darker hues that beautifully complement our day's aesthetic. To honor our bridal palette, we kindly ask that you AVOID WHITE, IVORY, BEIGE, BROWN, PALE PASTELS, or ANY SHADES THAT COULD RESEMBLE WHITE. We can't wait to celebrate with you in your most elevated and beautiful attire.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

To ensure we can accommodate all our beloved guests, only those EXPLICITLY named on your invitation are included. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We kindly request no children, unless specified on your invitation! Thank you for your understanding!

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

Because the bride and groom are both underage, our wedding will be an alcohol-free celebration, featuring a delightful selection of non-alcoholic beverages for all guests to enjoy.

Question

Do you have a wedding registry?

Answer

Yes, we do! You can find links to all three of our registries on the Registry page of our website.

Question

What happens if it rains?

Answer

In the event of rain or inclement weather, our ceremony will proceed outdoors as planned but without seating. We'll then move the reception and cocktail hour into the beautiful glass conservatory, where we can continue celebrating together.

Question

What’s the weather like/ what should I expect?

Answer

Early August in Central Florida brings warm, humid, and tropical weather. You can expect daytime temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, with evenings cooling to the mid-70s. Afternoon thunderstorms are typical this time of year, though they're usually brief and pass quickly. We recommend wearing light, breathable fabrics since our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner will all take place outdoors. A compact umbrella or lightweight wrap will be perfect for any passing showers! (We also recommend bug spray as June-August is peak mosquito season)

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there will be parking available across the street from the venue!
