FAQs-All the Little Details

The Wedding Website of Madelyne Arends and Alex Barabasz
Question

What’s the dress code?

Answer

We kindly ask that guests wear formal attire. Think mid-calf to floor-length gowns, elegant cocktail dresses, button-ups and suits. If you love getting a little fancy, this is your moment!

Question

Can I wear white, ivory, or cream?

Answer

We’d really appreciate it if guests avoid wearing white, ivory, or cream to let the bride stand out on her special day. Thank you for helping us honor this tradition—we love you for it! 🤍

Question

What kind of shoes should I wear?

Answer

Since both our ceremony and reception will take place on grass, we recommend shoes that won’t sink into the ground. Block heels, wedges, flats, or stylish sandals are great choices. Bonus points for shoes you can dance in!

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 PM, so we kindly ask guests to arrive by 4:00 PM to allow time for parking, seating, and settling in. We don’t want anyone to miss the moment we say “I do!” 💍

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We’re having an unplugged ceremony, which means we kindly ask that all phones and cameras be put away during this special moment. We want you to be fully present with us—no screens, just love! Don’t worry, we’ll have professional photos to share afterward!

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our wedding will take place entirely outdoors—the ceremony and reception will be held on a mix of grass and cement. There’s also a small bridge to cross, so please keep that in mind when choosing your footwear. We’ll be celebrating under the open sky, so come prepared for sunshine, shade, and a little fresh air magic!

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please RSVP by June 1, 2026 so we can finalize all the details and make sure there’s a seat (and plate!) with your name on it.

Question

How do I RSVP?

You can RSVP right here on our wedding website through Zola—just click the “RSVP” tab in the menu and follow the prompts. If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!

Question

Can I bring a date or a plus-one?

Answer

We’re so excited to celebrate with our closest friends and family, and due to space limitations, we’re only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. We hope you understand and know how much we’re looking forward to spending the day with you!

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

Kids are warmly invited only if they’re listed on your invitation. We want to make sure everyone has a comfortable and joyful experience, so please check your invite carefully. Thank you for understanding!
