We kindly ask our guests to wear semi-formal attire! For men, think suits or a sports coat with dress pants and a dress shirt. For women, think cocktail or midi-length dresses. Please keep in mind that the ceremony will be at a Catholic Church, and dress appropriately. If you feel so inclined, you may bring a shawl or wrap to wear for the ceremony.

Please avoid wearing white, ivory, or cream to allow the bride to shine in her dress.

Kids & Plus Ones
