There will be a quick family ceremony, sideboard buffet, beer + wine, desserts, & acoustic music. Attire is Cocktail or Dressy! This event is an indoor, elegant, & intimate setting. If you need some ideas here are a few examples of Cocktail / Dressy: Knee-Length or Midi Cocktail Dress – Versatile and stylish. Wrap Dress or Slip Dress – Flattering and easy to dress up. Chic Skirt and Blouse Combo – Feminine and flexible. Tea-Length or Midi Dress – Great for summer weddings. Dressy Romper or Jumpsuit – Comfortable yet festive. Floral or Solid Sundress – Light and breezy for outdoor settings. Suit (Optional) – Lighter colors OK, think navy, grey, or tan. Blazer (Optional) – Adds polish if the event leans dressy. Tie & dress shoes – Optional but Recommended. Patterned or Colored Shirt – Adds personality without being too casual. Button-Down Shirt + Chinos or Dress Pants – Light and comfortable.
This is a cocktail party that will be indoors at a hip bar in Avondale Estates with light hors d'oeuvres, full bar, & music by a vinyl DJ. Attire: Cocktail or Dressy Casual
