FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
We'd love to see our guests dress to impress! Our wedding is garden formal, meaning ladies should wear tea-length dresses, floor-length gowns, or dressy separates. Gentlemen should wear a suit and tie or a sport coat. Feel free to explore with fun patterns or colors for the "garden" part of our dress code. Please reserve colors such as white, ivory, or cream for the bride. No jeans please!
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
To help with our planning, we ask that you kindly RSVP by April 19th, 2025. If we don't receive your RSVP by the date specified, we will have to assume you are not coming and indicate you as a "no". We need to provide the venue with a total guest count in a timely manner and appreciate your understanding!

Are kids invited?
