Country Club Casual Attire: Polished, relaxed, and a little autumnal. Think slacks and a sweater, a crisp button-down, floral dresses, rich fall colors, and elevated separates. Comfortable enough to mingle, but with a little effort and elegance.

Sunday morning we’ll be posted up in the Backyard for a loose, come-and-go brunch. No timeline, no structure - just coffee, breakfast, and varying degrees of recovery. Drift in whenever you’re ready (we won’t judge the timing), and if you’ve got a ferry to catch, come say a quick goodbye on your way out!
