Question

What is ‘Black Tie Optional’ ?

Answer

Black Tie Optional means guests are encouraged to dress in formal evening attire. Tuxedos and floor length gowns are always welcome, while dark suits and formal cocktail or midi/maxi dresses are equally appropriate. Our wedding color palette is black, champagne, and ivory, so we encourage timeless, elevated styles and kindly ask guests to avoid wearing any white, ivory, or cream tones. Elegant & fancy but without the pressure. :)
