FAQs
Question
What should guests wear the day of the wedding?
Answer
Wedding Attire: Beach Cocktail Our wedding will have a dark tropical aesthetic. Think lush greenery, moody florals, & elegant accents. To balance that vibe, we’d love for you, our favorite people, to be the pops of color! Think tequila sunrise vibes when it comes to attire: tropical hues like orange, pink, yellow & blue. We’ve included a collage of outfit inspo to help you get a feel for the look. • Ladies: Short or long dresses, flowy or fitted, whatever makes you feel fabulous. • Gents: Lightweight jackets or breezy button-downs, in linen or other breathable fabrics. Most importantly though, we want you to feel great, so wear whatever makes you comfortable & ready to celebrate! Please note: The ceremony will take place in the sand, so consider your footwear accordingly. The cocktail hour & reception will be on solid ground, so you’ll be able to party comfortably!
