Friday's welcome event attire will be "elevated casual". We’d love for you to wear something a bit dressier than casual, but not too formal. For Women: A midi dress, jumpsuit, or dressy top with trousers or a skirt. For Men: A button-down or polo with chinos or dress pants. A blazer or tie is optional. If you’re arriving later in the day, no need to stress—casual travel attire is absolutely welcome. Just come ready to relax, unwind, and celebrate! Saturday’s events will be a bit more dressy—please plan for formal attire. For Women: Floor-length gowns, elegant midi dresses, or sophisticated dressy separates. For Men: A dark suit and tie. The reception will be held outdoors on grass, so we recommend choosing shoes that are lawn-friendly. Also, it may get a little chilly Saturday night, so we recommend bringing a jacket.
