Are there any styles or colors you'd prefer me to wear?

Semi-formal wear; dress with a variety of colorful and elegant colors in mind. The more colorful, the better! Keep in mind that the ceremony and reception will be held indoors, and the cocktail hour will be held semi-indoor and semi-outdoor, so dress appropriately.

Question
What will your wedding-day timeline look like?
Answer
The ceremony will start at 1:00 P.M. and end at 2:00 P.M. Cocktail hour will follow around 3:00 P.M. and end around 3:50 P.M. AN hour is given between the ceremony and cocktail hour to give guests an hour to take a breather and commute to the reception venue, which is about 20-30 minutes from the ceremony venue. Dinner will begin around 4:30 P.M. The reception is lined to end at 8:00 P.M. Guests can continue to hang around on reception venue property past 8:00 P.M. until 10:00 P.M. Guests must leave the premise by 10:00 P.M. Note: Timeline is an estimate and may be subject to change.
Question
Is there parking available at the wedding venue?
Answer
Yes, there is an open grass parking lot right across the street from the reception venue for guests to park at (look for "Event Parking" sign). Note: The driveway path to the reception building is quite long, so drivers are welcome to drop off those who may get easily tired or have trouble walking at the entrance of the building.
