The dress code for our wedding is Garden Party Cocktail ✿
Our venue is an outdoor garden, in the forest, on the Big Sur coast. You are welcome to lean into the funky, foresty, floral venue vibes as much as you want! Feminine: Festive midi or maxi dresses are great. Fun styles, colors, and florals are welcome! Light jackets or shawls are perfect for when the sun goes down. Wedges, flats, or heels are all appropriate. Masculine: Suits and blazers of all colors are great. Fun ties are welcome! Feel free to bring your dancing shoes! And for those who love a visual example, we have a pinterest board for inspo! https://www.pinterest.com/emmataylor17/garden-party-cocktail/
We will provide a shuttle service, departing from the Monterey Plaza Hotel at 2:30pm. The shuttles will return to the hotel when the wedding ends, at 10pm.
The weather in the Monterey Bay area will be much cooler than you'd think! Prepare for days in the 70's, but nights in the low 50's. We recommend bringing layers, especially for the evenings. You won't regret packing that sweatshirt for walking around at night! This is the perfect place to rock your coastal grandmother aesthetic clothes :) As for the wedding, it is outside, but thanks to the Big Sur microclimate, it will be much warmer at Loma Vista Gardens than Monterey! We'll also have heaters and a SCORCHING dance floor!
Absolutely! We would love for you to camp in Big Sur while you're here! Please be mindful the arranged transportation will only pickup/drop off from the hotel, so you will need to make your own arrangements for transportation.
While we love your little ones, the wedding will by adults-only. We have arranged childcare for the evening at the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa. Please contact Matt and Emma to participate in this option no later than May 1.
