Question
Ceremony & Reception Details
Answer
The ceremony and reception will be held at two separate locations, approximately a 15–20 minute drive apart. The ceremony will take place outdoors on the grass, followed by an indoor reception. We recommend choosing shoes and attire that are comfortable and suitable for a backyard setting. Complimentary on-site parking will be available at both locations. Carpooling is encouraged, as the ceremony will be held at a private residence.

Question
Attire
Answer
We invite our guests to embrace soft, romantic fall tones and semi-formal attire for our garden party celebration—think elegant, seasonal, and a touch whimsical. For women: Cocktail or midi-length dresses are perfect, especially in flowy silhouettes or wrap styles with elevated fabrics like chiffon, satin, or crepe. Simple, elegant maxi dresses are also welcome. We kindly ask that overly formal or heavily embellished evening gowns be avoided. For men: A suit and tie in classic tones such as black, navy, or grey is ideal. A crisp dress shirt paired with leather shoes completes the look. Tuxedos are not necessary, and we kindly ask that casual attire such as jeans, polos, and sneakers be avoided.
