Is there a dress code for the wedding ceremony and reception?

Answer

Yes! The dress code for the wedding ceremony and reception is cocktail attire (e.g., suits; cocktail dresses of any length). As a springtime outdoor event in Northern California, we encourage you to consider brighter colors, floral prints, and lighter suits. It is typically warm this time of year but might get chilly in the evening.

Should I wear my stilettos?
