FAQs
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Black-tie optional. Ladies, ideally you are wearing a midi or floor length dress. If you'd like, we encourage dresses in warm tones (pink, red, coral, orange, yellow, etc.) to match our colors. The ceremony will take place in the gardens and the grass is soft so please be mindful about shoe choices. Gentlemen, a dark suit and tie will look great and if you have a tux, now is the time to show it off!
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
The event is for adults 21 years-old and over. While we love your kids, we would love even more for our wedding to be your night off.
Question

Our wedding will be completely outdoors at Selby Gardens. October weather in Sarasota is beautiful but please note that it is still outside so dress accordingly. We are hoping for sunny and 75 to 80 degrees.
