Our dress code is summer formal. We recommend light, breathable fabrics. Because Old Homestead Farm has grassy and uneven areas, wedge heels, block heels, or flats are encouraged over stilettos. Gentlemen may opt for suits or dress pants with a button-down; jackets are welcome but not required in the summer heat. THINK EASTER IN THE SUMMER
