Evening cocktail attire - look nice, but be comfortable. Spring dresses, jackets and slacks. Suits optional. The ceremony and cocktail hour will be on the grass lawns, so plan your footwear accordingly! If it is helpful to know, our theme is a lowkey woodland fairytale vibe, our colors are blues and purples, but you in no way need to match this - you do you!
