General Guidelines

Our dress code intent is the formal black-tie-optional area, but no tuxedos.


Guests are expected to adhere to the provided dress code.

These guidelines should help inform your attire decisions.

-- All Wear --

Do's:

* We encourage guests to wear colors and express themselves (it's boring otherwise!). Feel free to experiment with designs and accessories.

* Use your discretion to avoid overshadowing the bride and groom (though we promise it'll be hard to).


Dont's:

* No white/ivory/etc. dresses, suit jackets, or pants. (White dress shirts are completely acceptable!)

* White wear with significant patterns (i.e. flowers, stripes) should be fine; check with us if you're uncertain.

* No crowns or tiaras.

* Groomsmen attire - light grey clothes, brown shoes. You can wear these without worry.

* Rainbow ties, bowties, and pocket squares should NOT be worn (that privilege is the groom's).
