37 Days To Go!

1. What time should I arrive at the ceremony? The ceremony starts at 5:00 pm. We recommend guests arrive at least 30 minutes before the official start time to enjoy a glass of champagne and settle before the ceremony.


2. What is the dress code? Black tie formal. The attire for this wedding is black and white only. Since women do not traditionally wear white to weddings, and we will not have a bride, women are encouraged to wear floor-length gowns in white! In the alternative, black. The dress code for the men is either a black tuxedo or a black suit. Ladies, leave those red shoes at home! Chunk heels are recommended as the ceremony and reception are on grass.


3. Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception occur indoors or outdoors? The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will be outdoors, under the open sky, beneath the trees!


4. What will the weather be like? Coastal wedding weather provides cool breezes, sunny skies, and a beautiful atmosphere. During July, the average high is 67 degrees, while the low is 53. We will provide cozy wraps for the evening.
