Ceremony Attire: The ceremony will be held in a traditional setting, so we recommend semi-formal attire. Think dresses, or dress pants with a nice top. Feel free to dress up, but comfort is key! The color theme of the wedding includes dusty blue, orange, yellow, and green. Reception Attire: The reception at Farm to Fancy is a rustic yet elegant farm venue, so think farm-chic! We encourage guests to wear something fun but also comfortable for dancing and walking around the farm. Heels may be tricky, so consider wedges or stylish flats!
We’ve planned carefully to accommodate all of our wonderful guests, so please check your invitation for specific details on whether you have a plus one. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to reach out to us to confirm!
