Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Yes! For the ceremony and dinner, semi-formal attire is requested. We kindly encourage guests to wear earth-tone colors (sage, champagne, tan, olive, rust, etc.) to complement the aesthetic of our special day. This is completely OPTIONAL —your presence is what matters most! For the evening reception, cocktail or evening chic is perfect.
