Dress Code

Answer

We invite all our guests to wear semi-formal pastels. Ladies, please avoid all ivory, cream, or any other pale hues that could photograph white. Some beautiful color options include lilac, apricot, French blue, and daylily yellow. If choosing between two shades, we encourage selecting the more colorful option. We also recommend classy yet comfortable footwear for the outdoor venue. View this visual style guide for inspiration: https://tinyurl.com/p93mvep4

Guest Photography

Our ceremony is unplugged. Please keep phones and cameras away during the processional, and do not post photos of children online unless they are your own. We are excited to take photos and celebrate with you during cocktail hour and the reception!

Question

Children

Answer

We love your little ones! While some children will be joining us— primarily close family and a few children we see regularly— due to space limitations and logistics we are only able to accommodate the children listed on the invitation and RSVP. If you have an infant who will need to attend with you, please let us know so we can make arrangements. We appreciate your help in keeping our guest list within our venue's capacity. Thank you for understanding!

Plus Ones

Now that the RSVP deadline of June 12th has passed, guests who did not submit a response have been marked as unable to attend. If you need to update your RSVP between now and July 31st, please contact Noah, Alyssa, or Jill directly as soon as possible. As final counts have already been provided to several vendors, we may not be able to accommodate additional guests or late changes.
