Question
For the ladies, the semi-formal dress code explained:
Answer
As this is a confusing dress code, here are a few helpful suggestions: 1. We are going for a dress that hits under the knee, but not to the floor. Typically called "tea length" or "midi dresses." 2. It will be in the summer, so have fun with color or pattern...just kindly avoid white or white with a pattern overlayed! 3. As well, for those who do not want to match the bridesmaids, they will be in shades of pink! However, if you would like to wear pink, go for it! 3. If that made things more confusing and need the visuals... Copy & Paste this link to see our full Pinterest board for more inspiration! https://pin.it/1mbJf9d0r
Question
For the gentlemen, the semi-formal dress code explained:
Answer
Think dress shirt and slacks! Suits/Ties are quite welcome, but not required. If you are considering a suit, but hesitant because of the hot August weather, we recommend linen to keep you cool!

Question
If the ceremony ends around 4, why is the reception not starting until around 6?
Answer
While we are fortunate to have 2 beautiful venues, there is about a 20 min drive in-between them. We are planning on doing a receiving line directly following the ceremony to say a quick hello to those in attendance! With this is mind, if the ceremony ends around 4, the quickest we expect for the first guests to arrive at the reception is 4:30. There, we will provide ample appetizers! We will also have entertainment in the form of music and a poet! Guests will be able to meander the hotel, go to their rooms and nap (if applicable), or get their personal poem written and chat amongst the guests. We will do our best to make sure everyone feels intentionally thought of. Thank you all so much for being wonderful!
