Question

Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Wondering what to wear to our wedding? Guest attire should be semi formal or festive formal. Festive formal is a relatively new term, but it basically means creative semi formal. Think unique textures, patterns, glitter, colors, etc. while still remaining semi formal. It’s important for you look and feel good in what you are wearing. Don’t be afraid to let some personality show! Nice sneakers and a funky dress? We’re here for it! Velvet suit and patterned shirt? Love that for you! Get creative with your attire and let your personality shine.✨ If you are a little bit shy with your style, that’s ok! It’s up to you on how creative you want to be. The most important thing to us is that you are comfortable.😊 Please check the weather and dress accordingly. Weather permitting, our ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside. The reception will be held in a climate controlled barn.
