FAQs

Question

Where should you plan on staying if you’re traveling to attend?

Answer

In the Travel section of our website, we have listed a selection of hotel options for guests traveling from out of town. There are many additional accommodations nearby, and we recommend staying in the Franklin or Cool Springs area for convenience.

Question

Which airport should I fly into?

Answer

Nashville International Airport (BNA) is the closest airport for those choosing to fly. It is about 1 hour away from Franklin where our wedding will be held.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 5 o’clock in the evening, please arrive no later than 4:45pm or you will sadly miss out on our ceremony.

Question

What is the dress code for guests?

Answer

Guests are kindly requested to arrive in formal attire. For gentlemen, this includes a long-sleeve collared dress shirt and a blazer or sport coat. As the ceremony will take place outdoors in August, we recommend selecting lightweight fabrics for comfort. We respectfully ask that guests refrain from wearing white, as well as Lavender Purple or Dusty Blue, as these are reserved for the wedding party.

Question

Where can I find the registry?

Answer

Our wedding registry can be found on our Zola website. Since our home is located in Hawaii, many retailers are unable to ship directly, so our registry primarily features monetary gifts. For those who wish to bring a physical gift, a gift table will be available at the ceremony for your convenience.

Question

What will the bridal party be wearing?

Answer

The Bridesmaids will wear floor-length matte satin Lavender dresses in styles of their choosing. The Groomsmen will be dressed in Tan Taylor suits with Lavender ties and Dusty Blue boutonnieres.

We are having an “unplugged ceremony” (no phones or cameras) we wish for you to be fully present with us as we say “I do”. We have hired professionals to capture this moment for us and promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. After the ceremony feel free to take as many photos and videos as you’d like, we will have a QR code that will share your pictures with us so we can see our wedding through you.
