FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the dress code?
Black Tie Preferred!
Men: Tuxedos are preferred, though dark suits with a tie are welcome.
Dark colors such as black, navy, or charcoal are most formal and ideal. Dress shoes and accessories like a tie, bow tie, or pocket square complete the look. Boots and a cowboy hat are also welcome—we’re from Texas, after all!! (:
Women: Long gowns are preferred, though elegant midi and long formal cocktail dresses are welcome.
Dressy fabrics such as silk, chiffon, lace, or satin work beautifully. We kindly ask guests to avoid red and any shades of white.
This day is so meaningful to us, and we would love to remember everyone dressed up, while comfortable and enjoying every moment of the celebration together!! (:
