Question

Is there a theme/attire for the wedding? Formal?

Answer

Yes, 20's inspired. (NOT A COSTUME PARTY) Since Heather's engagement ring is from the 20's and the Inn itself is from that era, we are suggesting that guests may dress in 20's or art deco influenced attire. We have been told some gentleman are wearing tuxedos, white dinner jackets or classic dark or light suits. Ladies, you can't be too over dressed. I know of some ladies wearing knee length and some wearing long gowns. I highly encourage something for your shoulders, as it could get cold outside. In addition, leave the stilettos at home. The grounds are hilly with many steps & terraces.... you would be far more comfortable in a flat or low wedge.
