Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Our wedding will be semi-formal. For men, we ask that you wear a suit and tie. Bow ties are also acceptable. Suits can be any color as long as it is not listed as a color to stay away from. For women, we ask that you wear a dress that is knee-length or longer. Dressy separates and nice pantsuits are also acceptable. Please note that it may be chilly, so bringing a light jacket or shawl may be a good idea!

Answer

Our wedding colors are lilac, sky blue, and pearl. We kindly ask that you refrain from wearing those colors as it may clash.

We’re having an unplugged ceremony, and we kindly ask that all phones and cameras be put away during this time. We’ve hired a professional photographer to capture the moment—we can’t wait to share the photos with you!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to venue capacity restrictions if your invitation includes a guest by name or says, “and guest,” then yes—your plus one is invited! If not, we hope you’ll still join us solo for an amazing time!

Question

Can I bring my children?

Answer

While we adore your little ones, due to venue capacity restrictions we’ve decided to keep our wedding an adults-only celebration, with the exception of the children in the wedding party. We hope this gives you a chance to enjoy a relaxing night out!

Answer

We kindly ask that you refrain from posting photographs from our wedding until we have made our formal wedding announcement with our professional images.

Question

Will you be livestreaming your wedding?

Answer

At this time, we are unsure if we will be livestreaming the wedding. Some of the guests on our guest list are currently stationed overseas and we understand it may not be feasible for them to travel to the states for our wedding. While we would love to celebrate with everyone in person, we are still waiting to get RSVPs from guests to see if a livestream is something that is needed. We will be sure to update this FAQ once we know for sure!
