Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Cocktail Attire/Semi-Formal: The Rustic Factor: Think of this dress code as semi-formal with a rustic twist. You want to look polished, but there’s room to embrace the relaxed atmosphere of a vineyard/farm setting. Avoid anything too formal like tuxedos or evening gowns, but don’t go too casual either. Women: cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, maxi/midi dresses. Flowy fabrics like chiffon, lace, or crepe. You don't need a full-length gown. Soft, floral patterns or boho-inspired designs fit well with the rustic theme. There are gravel paths and grassy areas, so please keep that in mind if you're wearing heels. If you're looking for inspiration: fall tones such as cabernet, navy, olive green, or yellow will work well. Jewel tones such as emerald and amethyst will be great pops of color. Cream, taupe, and blush are also light and fresh! Men: A suit is always a good option, but don't feel like you need to go super formal. If a full suit isn't your style, a blazer with dress pants is another great option. Button-downs work well. Feel free to add a subtle pattern or color. Ties are optional if you want to dress things up a bit more.
