Black tie optional means we invite you to dress up, but we want you to feel comfortable. Tuxedos and formal gowns are welcome, as are dark suits and elegant cocktail or floor-length dresses. Think classic, polished, and celebratory, and wear what makes you feel your best while honoring the formality of the evening. We kindly ask that guests avoid wearing white or colors that may appear very close to white or ivory in photos.
