Yes! We ask that you come in Garden Party attire: this means at minimum slacks, nice shirt, bow tie, hat, suspenders, fun pocket squares, fun socks, interesting ties or printed dresses, jumpsuits, fascinators, interesting accessories, etc. Dress shoes, heels, flats, sandals, or very clean dress sneakers are recommended. The West Lawn is grass, so stiletto heels are not recommended. Jeans, sneakers, flip flops, graphics tees, or other casual, everyday clothing is not appropriate for this event.
We ask that you please refrain from taking photos and videos during our ceremony so that we can all be fully present and celebrate. We have a fantastic photographer that will diligently document the day for us and capture all of the sweet moments! We will also have time after the ceremony to take pictures with everyone during formal portraits.
If you are vegetarian, vegan, or have other food allergies or restrictions, please let the server know upon ordering and their scratch kitchen will happily accommodate your request!
Unfortunately, due to the capacity limitations of our vendors, we cannot accommodate additional guests that aren’t on your invitation. We carefully selected our guests that are our closest family, friends, and loved ones. Thank you for understanding!
Because of an upcoming move and other circumstances beyond our control, we declined to create a registry. If you would like to send us a gift, please consider sending a gift card, cash, or waiting until August to send your gift. We would be happy to send you a thank you card and let you know how we used your gracious gift! Please do not feel obligated to send a gift; your love and well wishes are cherished. We would appreciate if you shared a recipe with us or something else that is a tradition or special for you if you're feeling extra gracious!
Due to our expedited timeline, tight budget, and other extenuating circumstances, we could not invite everyone with whom we wanted to share our special day. We chose our closest loved ones and our families and we understand that this upsets some. Please know that you’re in our hearts and we will plan a larger celebration at a later date where you and your loved ones will be able to celebrate with us. Thank you for your understanding!
Because this is an adult-only event, we ask that unless we explicitly invited/included your child’s name on the invitation that you arrange childcare for the evening.
