Is there a dress code?

Our wedding dress code is called "Black Tie Black" — a black tie formal event with a twist. We request all men to wear black tuxedos and all women to wear black, floor-length gowns. This theme will create a stunning and cohesive look for our celebration.

What should women wear?

All women are asked to wear black, floor-length gowns. Think timeless, elegant, and formal.

What should men wear?

All men are required to wear black tuxedos. This includes a black bow tie, black formal shoes, and a white dress shirt. If you don’t already own a tuxedo, here are some recommendations for rental options in the Rhode Island area: Men’s Wearhouse (Warwick, RI): Offers a range of black tuxedos and formal accessories for rent. Aldo’s House of Formals (Providence, RI): Specializes in tuxedo rentals and has a variety of classic black tuxedo styles. Tony’s House of Formals (Cranston, RI): Known for excellent customer service and high-quality tuxedo rentals.

Can I wear another color besides black?

To maintain the cohesive and elegant aesthetic of our wedding, we kindly request that all guests adhere to the black tie formal dress code and wear the specified attire. Your cooperation means the world to us!
