Question

What should we wear?

Answer

Think summer colors! Ladies: sundresses or gowns. Sites like Azazie and Birdie Grey have a ton of dress options Men: suits or slacks w/ button-down shirts. Whatever you're most comfortable in! Just don't forget, we are getting married outside & though it is right off a well-groomed trail, sharp heels may be tricky. To help provide a visual for the summer "vibes", our amazing photographer, Laura, has created a Pinterest board for summer-inspired inspo based around the floral arrangement she plans to make for me. https://pin.it/5wQ9I5CDn Even though this is an elopement ceremony instead of a traditional wedding, Ed will be wearing a suit & I will be wearing a true wedding dress.

Question

Are there bridesmaids/groomsmen?

The guests we invited are the ones we would have chosen to be in the wedding party anyway-- so for us, there was no reason to establish the roles. ❤️
