Our wedding day will be a formal evening celebration with a "Black Tie Optional" dress code. Again, for my fellow Virgos (or anyone who enjoys visuals as much as the bride does), yes - there’s an inspiration collage above. It’s simply inspiration. We care most that you feel comfortable, confident & ready to celebrate within Black Tie Optional attire. FOR WOMEN: Floor-length gowns are requested, or a formal tailored suit or jumpsuit. Color, prints, & texture are welcome if desired. Please no white, ivory, or similar shades. Cocktail hour will be outdoors (weather permitting), so choose shoes suitable for fine gravel & consider a shawl/light layer. FOR MEN: Tuxedos are welcome, but not required. A dark suit with a dress shirt & tie or bow tie is perfectly appropriate. TLDR: Formal & celebratory. Floor-length gowns requested, dark suits with ties encouraged, tuxes welcome. No white or ivory please.
