Dress Code

We request cocktail to formal attire for our wedding celebration. Think elegant cocktail dresses, suits, and dress shoes. We want everyone to feel comfortable and confident while looking their best! If you are unsure of what cocktail to formal attire looks like (because honestly, who does), The Knot has a great resource to look at.

We request that guests do not wear dark orange dresses to help distinguish our bridesmaids.

Appropriate Attire ✓

Here are some examples of appropriate formal attire:

Cocktail dress or elegant knee-length/midi dress

Floor-length formal gown

Three-piece suit with tie

Two-piece suit with tie

Men's Attire Guidelines

Masquerade Masks

When choosing a masquerade mask, think elegant ball, not Halloween mask. A colorful mask that matches your outfit is a great choice! You are welcome to use a hand-held mask, but keep in mind that hors d'oeuvres and drinks will be served during cocktail hour.

We kindly ask guests to refrain from wearing primarily white masks. Below are a few examples of appropriate and inappropriate masquerade masks to wear.

Appropriate mask - White and blue formal mask with handle

Appropriate: Formal colorful masks with or without handles

Appropriate: Simple but formal masks that can be tied or secured with elastic

Inappropriate: A Phantom mask

Inappropriate: Any other costume mask

Pro Tips

Weather: October evenings can cool down, so bring a light jacket, wrap, or shawl
Comfort: You'll be dancing! Choose shoes you can move in comfortably
When in Doubt: Err on the side of being more formal rather than less
