Q&A

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Dress code is formal attire. We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Gentlemen: Suit and tie. Ladies: Floor-length, tea-length, or midi dresses. Since the bridesmaids will be in beautiful black dresses, we would love to see guests’ dresses embrace the colors of summer. No shades of white please. No jeans, shorts, or hats allowed.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate the guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP.

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults only event (other than the groom’s nieces and nephews). Thank you for understanding!
