Question

What is the dress attire?What is the dress attire?

Answer

Our wedding will be cocktail attire, with the celebration taking place mostly outdoors. Please keep in mind the fall weather and terrain when planning your outfit. For the Ladies: • Dresses or jumpsuits at midi or knee length are perfect - stylish but practical for staying warm and dancing the night away. • The ceremony will be on uneven terrain, so we recommend bringing a pair of flats for that portion or wearing wedge heels for easier walking. • A shawl, wrap, or light jacket is encouraged in case the evening temperatures dip. For the Gentlemen: • Suits or dress slacks with a blazer and tie are appropriate. • Dark dress shoes or loafers are best, but keep in mind the outdoor setting when choosing your footwear. Most importantly, wear something you’ll feel comfortable, confident, and ready to celebrate in!

Question

What is the weather like this time of the year?What is the weather like this time of the year?

Answer

End of November in North GA will likely be on the side of chilly. However, we can randomly get hot days! Make sure to check your weather app leading up the event. But you can likely plan for mid-60's during the day, and low 50's at night. Basically: layers are your friend. (Umbrella optional, positive vibes mandatory.)

Question

Answer

Tim and I will be very busy, and likely overwhelmed. We’ll be a little busy… you know, getting married so we would appreciate you texting us only in emergencies. Or to tell us how amazing we are together. However, any of our close family members on both sides would be a great resource to reach out to with questions! On the Baird side, Tim's mom, Kathy Baird or his sisters Stacey and Megan. On the Hechler side, Sarah's mom, Debi Hechler or her sisters Ashley and Kristen.

Question

Can we take photos / post on social media?Can we take photos / post on social media?

Answer

Of course! We'd love you to share your photos! Our hashtag is #BecomingTheBairds. But please try to refrain from photos during the ceremony so our photographer can have a clear shot. We wouldn't want your pretty faces blocked by a mobile phone in the photos either! Post-ceremony, snap photos to your hearts content! Just remember to get our good sides 😉
