The wedding dress code is formal/semi-formal attire. We suggest that men wear a suit, and women wear a midi- , tea- , or floor-length dress. Because the ceremony is outdoors, please be mindful of what makes you the most comfortable in the June heat. Please avoid colors such as cream, white, ivory, etc. For guests that love visual examples, please check out our wedding guest attire mood board at https://pin.it/55xxB2wzn
