FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Our wedding attire is formal, with black-tie attire welcome but not expected. The groomsmen will be wearing tuxedos, and the bridesmaids will be in floor-length black dresses. We encourage guests to dress in a way that feels elegant and celebratory — for example, long dresses, midi dresses, dressy jumpsuits, dark suits, or cocktail dresses in elevated fabrics are all wonderful options. The ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors on a grass lawn, so we recommend shoes that are comfortable for walking on grass. Ladies, kindly refrain from wearing white, ivory, or cream, including in patterns. To keep the wedding party colors distinct, we also ask guests to completely avoid red attire.

Question
Is the ceremony unplugged?
Answer

Question
