Question

What should I wear?What should I wear?

Answer

We invite guests to dress in semi-formal, outdoor wedding attire that keeps you confident, comfortable, and ready to dance the night away. The ceremony and cocktail hour will take place on grass, so flat shoes, block heels, —or Whitney’s go-to move of ditching her shoes altogether—are highly encouraged. For colors, the bride will be in white, and the bridesmaids will wear taupe. We ask that guests avoid white or ivory dresses, but otherwise, please wear whatever makes you feel your best!
