Wedding Attire

The Wedding Website of Shelly Marc and John Todd
ALL-BLACK BLACK-TIE Guests are required to wear formal black attire from head to toe, creating a cohesive, elevated aesthetic that reflects the tone of the celebration.
Question

Is Black Required?

Answer

We are so excited to see everyone in their formal best! To help us achieve a timeless, monochromatic aesthetic, we kindly request that all guests wear solid black. For the Ladies: A floor-length gown or a formal cocktail-length black dress. For the Gentlemen: A black suit or tuxedo, paired with a classic white dress shirt.

Question

Are textures and details welcome?

Answer

Absolutely. Velvet, satin, silk, sequins, lace, leather accents, beading, and subtle shine are all encouraged. This is where personality and style come through.

Question

Can I wear patterns or prints?

Answer

If present, they should be black-on-black only. Please avoid visible color, contrast prints, or metallic patterns that introduce other tones.

Question

Are charcoal, gray, or navy acceptable ?

Answer

No. To maintain a cohesive look, we ask that attire remain true black rather than dark neutrals.

Question

What about shoes and accessories?

Answer

Black footwear is requested. Accessories should complement the look, black or subtle metallic accents are perfect.

Question

Is cocktail-length acceptable?

Answer

Formal attire is preferred. Floor-length gowns and tuxedos or tailored suits are strongly encouraged to match the black-tie tone of the evening.

Question

What should I know about the venue’s flooring and my choice of shoes?

Answer

Our venue is a beautiful historic space with floors that require a little extra care. To help preserve the setting, the venue will provide complimentary heel protectors for guests wearing stilettos or thin heels. If you would prefer to skip the protectors, we recommend opting for a block or stacked heel for your comfort and convenience!
