Our wedding will take place in the very place where gold was discovered in 1848, sparking the legendary California Gold Rush of 1849. To honor this historic site, Gold Rush–era attire is highly encouraged!

Think Victorian charm meets frontier spirit:

For gentlemen: three-piece suits, waistcoats, suspenders, newsboy caps, bow ties, boots, or even a miner’s rugged look with rolled-up sleeves and suspenders.

For ladies: long skirts or gowns with lace or ruffles, corsets, puffed sleeves, prairie dresses, shawls, bonnets, or wide-brimmed hats.

Accessories welcome - from pocket watches and parasols to boots and gold-toned accents.

Gold Rush attire is encouraged but not mandatory! Wear whatever makes you feel good.

**DO keep in mind this is an outdoor wedding at a historic park. That means dirt paths, uneven ground, and the chance of sunshine or rain (April can be unpredictable in Coloma). Comfortable shoes are highly recommended, and layers never hurt!
