Question
What should I pack for the weekend?
Answer
Pack for both celebration and comfort! The ceremony and reception will be semi-formal - dresses, dress shirts, and slacks are all great options (just keep in mind it’s an outdoor setting, so pointy heels might be tricky!). Before the ceremony on May 16, you’ll likely be hanging out on the island - think casual clothes, layers, and comfy shoes for walking on dirt paths. Bring a jacket or sweater for the evenings, and if you're up for paddleboarding or lounging by the water, toss in a swimsuit too!
Question
What's the dress code for the weekend?
Answer
We’ll share more details soon, but the ceremony and dinner will be semi-formal (think: dressy but outdoor-appropriate), and you’ll want to bring something fun and comfortable for dancing at the after party. The welcome dinner and brunch are more casual.
