Dress Code: Garden Party Formal – Black Tie Optional For our celebration, we invite you into a world of garden party elegance with a touch of black-tie magic. Think: twilight in an enchanted garden, where everyone looks just a bit like they’ve stepped out of a storybook. For gentlemen: a suit with a tie or bow tie – polished, charming, and ready for toasts under the stars. For ladies: a dress that falls below the knee or longer, sweeping gracefully as you wander through blooms and candlelight. We warmly encourage you to lean into the garden party theme: florals, soft patterns, and dreamy pastel hues you already own are joyfully welcomed—like petals scattered across a moonlit lawn. The only magic we must preserve: ✨ Please, no white – that color is reserved for the bride and her moment in the spotlight.
Your invitation is your very own scroll of honor, sealed with love and a touch of magic. The names written directly on your invitation are the distinguished guests invited to witness the ceremony and revel in the reception. Each name is chosen with great care—like stars placed intentionally in the night sky. If a name does not appear on your invitation, that person is not included on the guest list. Consider your invitation a finely crafted enchantment, graciously extended to those whose names it bears. 💫
