Question
What is semi-formal attire?
Answer
We know this dress code can seem a little ambiguous. The most important thing to us is your presence, but to help you plan an outfit, our main goal is to acknowledge the formality of the occasion while also leaving room for dressing for the weather - it will most likely be hot! Please add your own personality to whatever you choose, but here’s an excerpt from an article that we think fits our high-level definition of semi-formal: “When choosing a semi-formal wedding ensemble, you want to select something fancier than you would wear to the office, but a bit less formal than black tie garb. As the term “formal” is still in the works, attire should still be refined. This means putting on that silky pantsuit, a midi satin dress, a fitted jumpsuit or another option that is polished, without looking like you’re heading to the Met Gala. If you’re reaching for a suit, you can hang up the tux for this wedding dress code. You still need to put thought into your appearance, however. A dark suit with a dress shirt and shoes is appropriate — extra points for a tie.”
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
We have hotel blocks on our travel page that are midway between the church and reception venue. If you want to go on your own, our wedding is in the West Lake Hills area (southwest Austin) and our reception is in the Cedar Valley area (farther southwest of Austin). Either area is a good place to stay. Oak Hill or Sunset Valley are also good areas, and are around the midpoint between the wedding and reception. Closer to downtown is also an option if you want a more urban place.
Question
How should I get to the wedding and reception?
