FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We're celebrating outdoors in the summer sunshine, so think bright, festive, and floral! Dressy but comfortable is the vibe—flowy dresses, colorful prints, and lightweight suits or dress pants with a nice shirt are perfect. No need to go full formal—blazers are optional, and ties are not required. Leave the stilettos at home and opt for wedges or flats (we’ll be on grass!). Skip the dark colors and embrace cheerful tones and garden party flair!
