FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Attire should be comfortable. This will be your chosen outfit for the day, so it should be something you can walk and move around in. October in Washington is usually nice, but it may be a bit chilly for our Southern guests. A sweater, pashmina, or light jacket would be a safe choice, however a sports coat or blazer for the gentleman is completely optional. As for shoes, we recommend flats, low block heels, or boots, as the venue involves some walking and wandering outside! Our colors are olive and burnt orange, so avoiding those shades to preserve the bridal party would be appreciated. For guests, autumn jewel tones and muted colors or florals are preferred. (Think classic PNW autumn vibe!) A mood board is posted under the "Gallery" tab. Thank you for respecting our wishes!
