It should go without saying that WHITE should be avoided! Other than that, wear whatever color you want! Our bridal party will be dressed in all different fall colors and we aren't concerned with anyone looking too "matchy" to the bridal party. The more fall colors, the better!

Question

What should I bring?What should I bring?

Answer

Our ceremony will be inside a church and our venue is a barn-style building with cocktail hour planned outside (fingers crossed we have nice weather for it!). As it will be late October, almost anything can go for the weather. Please consider bringing a change of shoes if wearing heels for cocktail hour outside and a sweater or jacket in case of cold weather. While we hope no additional measures are needed outside of the venue's heated floors, our venue owners have had guests bring throw blankets in the past and offered this as a suggestion just in case!
