We’re excited to celebrate our big day with you in a relaxed yet polished style! For our wedding, we’re asking guests to come dressed in Smart Casual attire. This means no jeans or sneakers, but you won’t need to worry about wearing a tie either. Think of it as a step up from casual, but not as formal as a suit and tie.
If you’d like to dress for the theme, think Art Nouveau-inspired outfits or jewelry.
