Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

We’re tying the knot on the beach — so dress for a celebration in paradise! Think Beach Formal meets Vacation Chic: stylish, elevated, but still breezy and comfortable for sand, sun, and dancing under the stars. Light, flowy fabrics like linen or chiffon are perfect. Dressy jumpsuits, sundresses, airy suits, or coordinated sets — all great choices! Feel free to show off bold prints, bright colors, and fun accessories. Footwear-wise, go for wedges, sandals, loafers, or anything you can comfortably walk on the beach in (pro tip: skip the stilettos). The vibe: Effortlessly elegant, tropical, and festive. The forecast: Warm, sunny, and perfect for a beach celebration. Wear what makes you feel good, look amazing, and ready to party. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in paradise!
