Wedding Attire

Black Tie Elegance with a Southern Twist We are so excited to celebrate our special day with you! Our wedding will be a black-tie affair, meaning formal attire is required. As a special touch, we kindly ask that guests wear all black to create a timeless and elegant atmosphere. Since our celebration will take place outdoors in Savannah, Georgia, during the summer, we want to help you dress stylishly while staying comfortable.
Question

For the Ladies

Answer

A black floor-length gown or an elegant midi dress is perfect for a black-tie wedding. Rich fabrics like silk, chiffon, or crepe will keep you looking polished while remaining breathable in the warm summer air. Since our event is outdoors, we strongly recommend opting for block heels, wedges, or chic flats instead of stilettos—trust us, you don’t want to sink into the grass! A light shawl or wrap may be useful for when the sun sets, and statement jewelry or a clutch will complete your ensemble beautifully. Keep in mind that Savannah summers can be warm and humid, so lighter fabrics and breezy silhouettes will help you stay cool and comfortable.

Question

For the Gentlemen

Answer

A classic tuxedo with a bow tie is the standard for black-tie events, but a well-tailored black suit with a formal tie is also appropriate in the summer heat. A white dress shirt, polished dress shoes, and classic cufflinks will complete the look. Since this is an outdoor wedding, consider lightweight fabrics like linen-blend or breathable wool to help keep you cool while maintaining a sharp, formal appearance.

Question

Additional Tips for the Savannah Summer

Answer

☀️ Stay Cool: Light, breathable fabrics will help you beat the summer heat. 👠 Mind Your Footwear: Ladies, opt for wedges or block heels for comfort on grass. 🌿 Embrace the Setting: A sophisticated yet comfortable look will ensure you can enjoy the celebration to the fullest. We can’t wait to see you all dressed in your finest as we celebrate together under the Savannah sky! If you have any questions about attire, feel free to reach out.

Question

A Touch of Derby Day Fun

Answer

In honor of the Kentucky Derby, we invite guests to bring a fun, fabulous hat to wear during the cocktail hour/reception! Whether it’s a dramatic fascinator, a stylish fedora, or a classic wide-brim hat, we encourage you to embrace the spirit of Derby Day with a little flair. However, before you ask—no, the Derby will NOT be showing at the wedding! But don’t worry, we promise plenty of excitement, celebration, and maybe even a few mint juleps to go around. 😉 We can’t wait to see you all dressed in your finest black attire as we celebrate together under the Savannah sky! If you have any questions about attire, feel free to reach out.
