Question

Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
The dress code for the evening is black tie. Break out those floor length gowns and tuxes. Block heels are recommended for anyone planning to wear heels since part of the evening will take place on the lawn. Please steer clear of white, ivory, off-white, eggshell, beige, champagne, cream, blushes, or any other super light color that could be mistaken for white.
