Itinerary

By this, we mean "dressy with a brighter color palette, but not too formal". Think "Elegant Garden Party" vibe and lighter weight fabrics as June weather can be unpredictable.For the ladies: Maxi or midi length dresses, jumpsuits or other chic options in pastels or floral prints. The ceremony will be held outdoors (weather permitting) and mostly on grass, so please keep that in mind for your footwear choice. There may be full sun at 5PM, so stylish hats are also welcome.For the men: a dark or light suit or a sport coat worn over a collared shirt with trousers or khakis. Neckwear is optional.Whatever you pick, make it something you can comfortably dance and have a good time in!
