Our wedding will be Black Tie Optional. We want you to feel comfortable, but we’d love for everyone to embrace the elegance of the occasion. For Gentlemen: A tuxedo is welcome but not required. A dark suit (black, navy, or deep charcoal) with a dress shirt and tie works beautifully. Polished dress shoes complete the look. If wearing a tuxedo, pair with a black bow tie, black dress shoes, and a crisp white shirt. For Ladies: A long evening gown, formal cocktail dress, or dressy separates are all great options. Fabrics like satin, chiffon, or velvet create a more formal feel. Add elegant accessories, heels or dressy flats, and your favorite polished hairstyle. The Overall Vibe: Think formal, sophisticated, and celebratory — we want you to feel like the best version of yourself.
