Is there a dress code?Is there a dress code?
Answer
Dress Code: Garden Chic We're celebrating our wedding in a beautiful garden setting and invite our guests to dress accordingly! For the warm end-of-August event, we recommend garden-inspired semi-formal attire. Think floral dresses, flowy cocktail options, light-colored suits, button-ups, and khakis. A few key guidelines: absolutely no jeans or t-shirts, and please avoid white, cream, or beige to ensure the bride stands out. Comfort is key—the venue includes some gravel pathways, so we suggest wearing shoes you can easily walk and dance in. Not sure about your outfit? Feel free to text Zoey for a quick style consultation. We can't wait to see you looking fabulous and ready to celebrate!
