DRESS CODE: WHAT IS BEACH SEMI-FORMAL?

Brides.com has a great explanation; Beach Semi-Formal; For women, a dress or formal jumpsuit work for a semi-formal beach affair. Feel free to include prints, avoiding anything too loud or any style that might clash with the venue. If you choose to wear a beachy dress, specifically, consider it in either tea-length or maxi to avoid looking too casual. What's more, dressy sandals, heels, and wedges are acceptable footwear options.

For men, while a jacket isn’t required, a breathable sport coat or unique blazer is a fun addition. Feel free to include prints, avoiding anything too loud as well. Shoes can be a little more casual, but they still need to be closed-toe, such as a loafer or deck shoe. Again, shorts and sandals are not permitted for men.

WILL THE CEREMONY TAKE PLACE ON THE BEACH?

Yes and no. We will be getting married on the beach, under a palapa (beautiful, covered gazebo type structure) right on the beach.

WE WILL ADD MORE INFORMATION AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE WEDDING DAY, SO BE SURE TO CHECK BACK (:
