Question

Is there a dress code?Is there a dress code?

Answer

We’re dreaming of a night full of love, laughter, and timeless style. Tuxedos or suits with ties are preferred, and we kindly ask that dresses be floor-length or formal in style. While full black tie isn’t required, we’re hoping for a look that feels as special as the day itself—graceful, elevated, and photo-ready. Short cocktail dresses or casual attire won’t quite match the vibe, so we kindly ask guests to lean into the romance of the evening. Need some inspiration? See link below for our Pinterest board with the aesthetic we’re envisioning. We can’t wait to celebrate with you in style! https://pin.it/2h13AS5YY
