The attire of our wedding is "Garden Party Formal." For ladies, this could mean a chic midi dress in a floral print. Out of respect for the gardens, ladies should wear sandals, block heels, or wedges, and try and avoid stiletto heels or other pointy heels. For men, a light-colored suit or blazer is the perfect look. This is an outdoor ceremony, so opt for breathable and comfortable fabrics, such as linen or cotton. As for colors, think soft, pastel shades or vibrant floral prints. Try and avoid dark, heavy colors. Do not be afraid to ask for clarification if you are unsure about the dress code!

Although we love children, due to space restrictions, we cannot accommodate children at our wedding. We appreciate your understanding.

We are opting for an unplugged wedding ceremony. We want our guests to be fully present and engaged with the ceremony and the commitment we are making to each other.
