FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

While our official wedding ceremony start time 2pm, you may want to arrive 15- 30 minutes before the ceremony starts. That way you can get settled before the proceedings.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Semi-Formal or Dressy Casual Part of dressing for a semiformal or dressy casual wedding is taking the time of the wedding into account. Opt in for light colors and fabrics for this daytime event. Try a below-the-knee dress or a dressy skirt and top. An elegant pantsuit is also appropriate. Floor-length gowns, however, would be inappropriate. Pair with heels, nice wedges, or formal flats. The ceremony is being held outdoors and you'll be walking across a lawn, avoid traditional heels that will likely get stuck in the grass. Men should wear a dress shirt and slacks, dark or light, with the option to wear a tie. Semiformal gives you flexibility on comfort, but be sure not to dress too casual,

Question

Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place outdoors?

Answer

Yes! The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception will all be outdoors. Florida sits on a peninsula that divides the North Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico in the west. The state has a tropical climate in the south, while conditions are more subtropical in the north. This brings Florida its year-round warmth, although the surrounding oceans will help keep you cool. April’s one of the sunniest months of the year.
