FAQs
Question
What should I wear? Is there a dress code?
Answer
This is time to dress up and show off! There are not many moments that we have this group of amazing people together for this beautiful event. Dress Code is Formal/Black Tie Optional (don't worry I had to google this wedding lingo too!) What does this mean? Suits are optional but not required, men are welcome to wear button ups, etc. but do not be afraid to dapper up and show some personality. For women the options can range from a cocktail dress, a floor length dress, a dressy pant suit, or anything that makes you fill beautiful, comfortable, and (hopefully) ready to dance! Do consider this is a tropical island April. Our event is indoors, keep in mind temperatures above 80 as you build your fit and layers. All colors are on the table except white, leave that to the bride.
