FAQs

The Wedding Website of Katelynn Valenzuela and Steven O’Dell
Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We’d love everyone to wear Garden Party Formal, with elegant yet comfortable attire fit for an outdoor celebration. Think florals, pastels, and light fabrics. For women, flowy dresses, midi or maxi lengths, or dressy jumpsuits are perfect. For men, suits or dress pants with a button-up work great. We kindly ask that our guests avoid wearing white, ivory, or anything too close to the bride’s color.

We can only accommodate those guests formally listed on your wedding invitation. If you receive a plus one it will appear on your invite. We want to keep our wedding intimate with our closest family and friends!
