What is the dress code?
The dress code for the evening is semi-formal!
Our ceremony will take place in a cozy chapel, so think elegant but warm! Ladies, we’d love to see you in midi or maxi dresses — think velvet, satin, sleeves, wraps, and all things winter fabulous. Gentlemen, a suit or jacket with dress pants will do the trick. Add a tie if you’re feeling fancy!
