We ask that guests please follow a formal dress code. Below is a definition of a formal dress code: A tuxedo isn't required, but it can still be worn, if preferred. If men do opt for a suit, it's best to wear a formal dark suit, white shirt, and a conservative tie. For women, the outfit choices remain the same as black-tie affairs: a floor-length gown, a fancy cocktail dress, or a dressy pantsuit. In fact, there isn't much of a difference between black-tie and black-tie optional for women, although Mae says it's more acceptable to wear a dress that shows the ankles to a formal event (unlike a black-tie dress code).

The bridesmaids will be in a light lavender color, and the groomsmen will be in a dark grey suit with a dark green tie.

As much as we love our littles, we want our guests to have a great time without worrying about little eyes and ears. We will not have any children under 15 at the wedding, or reception. Thank you!
