Question

what is the dress code

Answer

Black with a Pop of Color – Formal but Fun NO JEANS. please wear black pants, cocktail or formal attire as your main color, with an optional accent of cool colors (blues, greens & purples) or jewel tones (rich, vibrant shades inspired by gemstones: emerald green, sapphire blue, amethyst purple, ruby red & deep pink). our wedding colors are purple, lilac, teal & aqua but any of those accents are great options. having our guests in mainly black will allow us to keep the color theme cohesive so please indulge us :) accessories, ties, jewelry, shawls, shoes or makeup all count as your “pop" of color. the ceremony will be conducted outdoors, so comfort is key — no heels allowed dressy flats, loafers or sandals are perfect.

Question

Answer

shoes should be grass appropriate. NO HEELS ALLOWED. failure to adhere to this rule will result in shoe removal for the duration of the event.

Question

can you bring a plus one

Answer

no, not guaranteed. your invite is only good for those whose names appear on the invite. you may request your plus one to be added to our standby list. we are working with an extremely strict capacity and may not be able to accommodate them but would love to try! so please keep your rsvp accurate so other may have the opportunity to join! thank you

Question

are children or pets welcome

Answer

no. please use this as an opportunity to have a fun date, time with friends or girls night. there are too many unmonitored risks for children to be present during this event. additionally animals are not allowed at either venue. we promise we have curated a thoughtful list and you will know other guests we have invited.

Question

is there a photo/phone policy

Answer

we kindly ask that you join us in an unplugged ceremony. please silence and put away phones and cameras so you can be fully present with us in this moment. there will be time for photos before the ceremony begins, during the interlude, and throughout the reception—so you won’t miss the chance to capture memories. thank you for honoring our wish to keep this part of the day intimate and distraction-free.
