Question

What should I wear?

Answer

This is a formal event -- suits and midi or full length cocktail dresses are great. Think: summer garden party. The ceremony will be on the lawn, and we expect you to be ready to dance the night away, so please choose your footwear accordingly! Still not sure what to wear?
