The short answer is black-tie optional - let's get dressed up! The long answer is that a formal, black-tie optional dress code generally means midi-long evening gowns or cocktail dresses for women, and for men, dark-colored suits and ties or tuxedos are all perfect. We want to emphasize the word *optional* - please wear what you feel your best in! The (brief) ceremony will be outdoors, followed by an indoor cocktail hour and dinner. Ladies, you will not be asked to walk on grass in heels for more than 5ft to find your seat.
