Question
What is the dress code for the ceremony and reception?

We’d love for our guests to join us in garden formal or semi-formal attire. Gentlemen, please wear a suit or blazer with dress pants. Ladies, please wear a midi dress, floor-length dress, jumpsuit, or dressy separates (see the collage above for inspiration!) To match our garden-party vibe, light and pastel colors and floral prints are welcomed, but not required. Bridesmaids will be in floor-length pastel pink dresses.
