Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Our wedding will be a joyful and elegant celebration, and we’d love for everyone to dress in their best spring formals. For Women: Wear a long or midi dress in light, romantic fabrics and soft spring colors—think pastels, florals, or gentle shades of blue, blush, or lavender. Bring a wrap or light jacket for the evening breeze. For Men: A dark or medium-colored suit (like navy, charcoal, or gray) or a tuxedo is perfect. Pair with a dress shirt, tie, and polished shoes. For Everyone: Choose an outfit that feels elegant, comfortable, and true to you. We kindly ask that guests avoid white, ivory, or cream.
