Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our ceremony will take place on a picturesque oceanfront lawn, followed by an elegant reception indoors. We kindly request semi-formal to formal attire with a touch of coastal sophistication. Think beachy and coastal yet refined. Nautical-inspired elegance like chic cocktail dresses, flowing midi or maxi dresses, tailored suits, or sport coats. Since the ceremony is on grass, we recommend wedges, block heels, or stylish flats for effortless walking. The ocean breeze can be refreshing and the sun can be warm, so sunglasses and light wrap may come in handy. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in style!
