Question
WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
Answer
This is a formal event and we would love to see our family and friends dress up with us! The dress code is Black-Tie Encouraged. We ask that all of our guests wear formal BLACK attire.
Question
WHAT DOES "BLACK-TIE ENCOURAGED" MEAN?
Answer
"Black-Tie Encouraged" means that guests have the option of wearing their most formal attire (an evening gown or tuxedo) Generally, a black-tie encouraged dress code means that the couple and their wedding party will be dressed in black tie. It's therefore courteous for guests to reflect this level of formality in their attire. Ladies: Black formal midi dresses, black full length dresses, or black pant suits. Men: Black Suits, Black dress shirt with tie, or black tuxedos. Please do not wear colors that are traditionally reserved for the bride. Ex: white, ivory, champagne, cream, etc. No sneakers, short dresses, cargo pants, or shorts. We have also put an outfit inspiration tab on our website. Please reach out if you have any questions.
