FAQs
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
No colors will be enforced. Our theme is a fairytale forest, so feel free to incorporate that into your outfits! Level of dress is California formal.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
We will have valet on site, but it will be good to carpool. Feel free to let us know ahead of time (preferably before the day of the wedding!) if you’d like to ride with someone else but aren’t sure who.
Question
Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?
Answer
The rehearsal dinner will be wedding party and family.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
At least 30 minutes before the start time. We will *actually* begin on time.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
Here on Zola! Since we already live in a home, the biggest help would be the cash funds.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Unfortunately, we have a limited number of people we can have attend. We did create a guest list with everyone in mind though. Ideally, everyone has at least 3 people who they already know (more than an acquaintance).
Question
Are masks required?
Answer
No. If you’re not feeling well or may have been exposed to COVID, we would prefer you let us know and stay home. We do respect anyone wanting to wear a mask and will have some extras if anyone would prefer.
Question
Are people COVID testing before?
Answer
Yes, please! Either take one the night before or morning of and have a picture ready of the negative result. We are very cautious of our guests and our health and safety.
Question
Unable to make it but want to see the wedding?
Answer
We are working on a way to stream the ceremony. We know it’s not quite a possibility for some to travel or that things happen… or maybe you’re one of my students! We want to give anyone who wants it an opportunity to see everything from wherever they are.
Question
What are the colors?
Answer
Lavender, lilac, sage, and forest green.
