Our wedding will be on Saturday, July 19th, 2025 at The Hotel Del Coronado. The ceremony begins at 6 O’Clock in the Evening on The Del’s Main Beach, followed by a reception in the hotel’s Crown Room.

Creative Black Tie is a dress code that provides a more relaxed and expressive alternative to traditional black tie attire. It allows guests to have fun with their formalwear while still adhering to an elegant and elevated standard. Dressing in dark colors is welcome, but not required! Creative black tie gives permission to push the boundaries of traditional formalwear by incorporating more personal style, color, texture, and design. It’s still polished, but playful.

• Gowns with a Twist: Bold colors, unique silhouettes, or textured fabrics like sequins and velvet.

• Stylish Jumpsuits: Tailored, luxurious fabrics with dramatic necklines or embellishments.

• Chic Separates: Floor-length skirts with statement tops or tuxedo-inspired ensembles.

• Standout Accessories: Bold jewelry, artistic clutches, and embellished heels.

• Patterns/Prints: Subtle florals or abstract designs for creative flair.

• Hair/Makeup: Glamorous hairstyles and bold makeup for a polished finish.
