Garden Attire
Our wedding ceremony will be at 4 pm at Samara Farm in Acme, WA, a 30 min drive from Bham. Guests should arrive 15-20 minutes before the ceremony. The reception is at the same venue. We will enjoy a barbeque dinner followed by dessert, lively discussion, and ecstatic dancing. We look forward to seeing your best moves. At 9 pm the pizza truck rolls up. At 10 loud music stops, but the party continues by the campfire. The venue is outdoors in a partially wooded, partially open area with gravel, dirt, and lawns. The bride advises sandals, wedges, or a chunky heel - no stilettos!
