Please refer to your wedding invitation for plus-one details. We’ve thoughtfully planned our guest list, and your invitation will indicate if a guest has been included. Thank you so much for understanding!

Our wedding will have a soft, romantic greenery vibe. For women, think floor-length or midi dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or elegant cocktail dresses. Light, breathable fabrics are perfect for July! Soft neutrals, greens, florals, and earthy tones will fit beautifully with our setting. For men, we recommend a suit or dressy attire. Lighter colors like gray, tan, or navy are great for a summer wedding. The ceremony and reception will be in July, so please keep the weather in mind and dress comfortably for the season.
