FORMAL

Formal We’re celebrating in classic style—think polished, elegant, and refined. For gentlemen: a dark suit or tuxedo, dress shirt, tie or bow tie, and dress shoes. For ladies: a cocktail dress, formal midi or floor-length gown, or a dressy pantsuit; dress shoes or heels recommended. PLEASE AVOID casual denim, sneakers, or athletic wear. Our color palette for the day leans toward champagne, taupe, mocha, gold accents, and soft floral tones—feel free to incorporate those hues, but PLEASE AVOID bright red, royal blue, neon colors, stark white or ivory (reserved for the couple), and icy cool grays. If you have questions about specific outfits or need accessibility accommodations, contact us—we’re happy to help.
