Q + A

Is this really a Halloween party?

Yes, this is a Halloween-themed wedding!

What should we wear?

A Halloween costume! Your personal creativity is encouraged and celebrated, but if you would like a theme, aim for formal gothic, formal period wear, or masquerade garb. See inspirational images below. If you are uncomfortable in a costume, please wear modern formal attire in dark colors such as black or jewel tones.

What if I'm not sure what to wear?

Please reach out to Lizz or Michael and ask us! We'll send examples of what others are wearing and help you think of something you're excited about.
