FAQs
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
The dress code for welcome drinks is dressy casual. Men in dress shirts, polos, blazers and khakis. Women in sundresses, jumpsuits, or nice pants and a blouse. The dress code for the wedding is summer/coastal formal attire. Think elegant but with a relaxed, seaside vibe. Men in suits and ties and women in midi or long floral/summery-colored dresses and formal jumpsuits/suits. Please note, the ceremony and cocktail hour will be held on the lawn, weather permitting. Please choose footwear with this in mind.
