Question

What should I wear?

Answer

The ceremony and reception are "Garden Attire" as explained below. While your basics stay the same, dress for the ladies, suit and dress shirt for the gents, this is a great time to loosen up on the fit and get more adventurous with colors. Summery colors like pastels, coral, turquoise, and shades of tan and grey are definitely a great choice.
