Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The welcome party and wedding ceremony will be outdoors, but the cocktail hour and reception will be indoors.

Question

What should I wear for the welcome party?

Answer

For the welcome party, you are welcome to wear tasteful red, white, and blue but not required. Please dress similarly to how you would for a summer date night. (Mini to midi length dresses, rompers, blouse and shorts, etc.) (Short sleeve button ups or polo shirts and khaki shorts, etc.). See attire inspiration photo (top of this page) for a launching off point. Also, keep in mind that it will be summer and there will be some lawn games, so make sure you are comfortable moving around in whatever you wear. Please dress comfortably for all weather, as the welcome party will be outdoors and will happen rain or shine.

Question

What should I wear for the wedding day?

Answer

For the wedding, please wear colorful formal/cocktail attire, basically just err on the dressier side of cocktail attire. (Floral prints, summery solid colors, fun accessories, jumpsuits, and midi or maxi length dresses, etc.) (A suit and tie, etc.). See attire inspiration photo (top of this page) for a launching off point. The ceremony will be outside on a lawn, so maybe rethink the stiletto heels. Please dress comfortably for all weather, as the ceremony will be outdoors and we will be getting married rain or shine. Oh, and wear your dancing shoes! ;)
