FAQs

Question

Do you have a color?

Answer

We decided to stick to a color palette of pastel pinks, light oranges, and butter yellow as opposed to an individual color. Because the ceremony is taking place on the grounds of Meadow Brook Hall in June, we wanted to opt for early summer florals to capture the vibrancy and beauty of the setting. Think garden party!

Question

What is the dress code?

The dress code for the wedding is formal. While we want you to be comfortable on our big day, we ask that you leave the jeans, sneakers, and other casual attire at home. For those opting to wear a dress, we ask that you wear a maxi or floor length gown.
