Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony starts at 4:30p sharp. We encourage you to arrive 15 minutes early to grab your seats!

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our wedding will be outdoors, surrounded by the natural beauty of Blithewold Mansion. Please dress accordingly and keep an eye on the weather, as we’ll be celebrating rain or shine! We’ve got a backup plan in place just in case, so no worries if the forecast isn’t perfect.

Question

Will transportation be provided? If not, is there easy parking at the venue?

Answer

At the moment, transportation is TBD. There will be parking at Blithewold Mansion, however, we encourage anyone spending the night in Newport or surrounding areas to Uber.

Question

What's the dress code for the wedding?

Answer

Dress Code: Garden Party Formal For woman, we strongly encourage mid-length or floor-length dresses (think soft fabrics like chiffon, silk, or lace, in light or floral patterns that complement the garden setting), delicate jewelry, elegant clutches, & a shawl or wrap for the evening, & closed or open-toe block heels. For men, we strongly encourage light or dark colored suits or tuxedos, dress shirts (feel free to wear subtle patterns or textures), ties or bowties & dressy loafers or oxford shoes. To note, the event will be held outdoors, so please consider the weather and terrain when selecting your shoes. Please avoid casual clothing such as jeans, t-shirts, or sneakers!

Question

What's the dress code for the welcome event?

Answer

Dress Code: Cocktail Formal with a "Something Blue" Twist We’re celebrating our “Something Blue” in style—so come dressed in it. For Women: Cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, or polished sets in any shade of blue—powder, periwinkle, navy, cobalt, you name it. Go bold or keep it soft, but make it blue. For Men: Cocktail attire with at least one staple piece in blue. A full suit isn’t required—think a blue button-down with light beige pants, a navy blazer, or another elevated combo that nods to the theme. Just skip the jeans & sneakers and keep it polished.

Question

What's the dress code for the day after brunch?

Answer

Dockside Daydream: Coastal Cool, Your Way Think coastal chic without the dress code pressure. Linen, gauzy textures, oversized button-downs, sun dresses, breezy sets, boat-ready vibes. Sailor stripes? Love it. Flowy and floral? Go for it. It’s about feeling easy, polished, and pulled-together—but like you didn’t try too hard:) For shoes, we encourage slides, sandals, or even sneakers. ATTIRE INSPIRATION HERE: https://pin.it/5gBzbaDo2
