Think refined yet comfortable for Phoenix in May.

Styles: Cocktail or midi dresses, dressy jumpsuits, elegant separates; suits or a blazer with tailored trousers. Ties optional.

Fabrics & colors: Lightweight, breathable materials (linen, cotton blends, chiffon, silk, crepe) and lighter or spring tones (or shades of purple) work well in the sun.

Shoes: The ceremony is outdoors—opt for block heels, wedges, dressy flats, or polished loafers to handle grass or uneven paths. The reception floor is indoors and smooth.

Layers: The reception is indoors with strong A/C—bring a light wrap, blazer, or shawl.

Kindly avoid: Casual denim, shorts, t‑shirts, athletic sneakers, baseball caps, and white/ivory/cream.
