Wedding Party

We kindly invite our guests to join us in black-tie attire as we celebrate together. Tuxedo's or Black/Dark Suits are encouraged for men. Our wedding will feature a soft summer palette of pinks, greens, and timeless neutrals, and we welcome guests to incorporate these tones if they’re inspired. We kindly ask that white and ivory be reserved for the bride.
