Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We're so excited to celebrate with you, our dress code for this wedding is formal attire. If you’re ever unsure, it’s always better to be a bit overdressed than underdressed! For Women: Floor-length gowns, midi dresses, and long jumpsuits are perfect for the evening. Heels are recommended but keep in mind there will be some walking and dancing. Since this is a spring/summer wedding, all colors are encouraged. We ask that you do not wear any white, cream, or light pastel colors. For Men: A suit with a dress shirt and tie or bowtie is ideal. You’re welcome to wear a tuxedo if you want to elevate your look, but a well-tailored suit will fit the vibe beautifully. Dress shoes are essential. Please do not wear any jeans or overly casual attire.
