Semi-formal is the ask. A suit, a cocktail dress, or dressy separates all work.

If you want a little Tennessee in the mix, boots, a cowboy hat, or a bolo are welcome.

If you’re traveling in: Tennessee fall is a different weather system than a lot of the country. A mid-November day here commonly runs from the upper 50s during the afternoon ceremony into the 30s once the sun goes down. Same day, two seasons. We suggest packing a jacket or a shawl just in case.

Ceremony and cocktails are outdoors on grass and gravel. The rest of the venue is paved and indoors. Boots or a stable heel will make the outdoor parts easier. White is still reserved for the bride.
