What should I wear?

Answer

We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Our suggested attire is semi-formal/formal. We kindly ask that no one wears jeans or shorts. The weather in October can range from 70s to lower 40s. All events will be indoors. Bridesmaids will be wearing dusty blue!
