We have no idea what the weather will be, and it can often swing in the Adirondacks. Please come prepared for hot days, cold nights, monsoons, or maybe all of the above throughout the weekend! We want you to be comfortable, so we can have fun no matter what the weekend brings. If you are staying at camp, bed linens and bath towels will be provided. 1. Attire for the wedding events (consider the weather!) -Welcome Party & Sunday Brunch: Casual– jeans are fine! -Rehearsal Dinner: Summer Cocktail Attire–Women can wear sundresses with block heels, wedges, or flats (no stilettos as we will be on the beach). Men can wear dress pants with a button-down – blazers are welcome but ties aren’t necessary. -Wedding Ceremony & Reception: Dressy Cocktail Attire–Think somewhere between cocktail and black-tie optional. Women can wear short or long cocktail dresses. Men can wear suits and ties or a tuxedo. Once again, block heels and wedges are encouraged because we’ll be outside on the sand and gravel. -Color Wars: Athletic gear and sneakers. Find your team assignment on the attached list in case you want to pack your color (green or gold). Everyone will get a t-shirt in their color, so don’t stress if you don’t have anything. 2.
