Garden Attire: Dress to Impress in summer style. Ladies should wear sundress, floral prints or pastels. We suggest wedges so you don't get a heel stuck in the turf. Gentlemen, a jacket is not required. We suggest light fabrics with light hues or prints. Have fun with it, wear a hat or fascinators or something from the Jazz Age. Think Gatsby, not Steel Magnolias.
The ceremony will start promptly at 3pm. Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to find your seat. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to get to Tree of Life in Audubon park from the French Quarter, so plan accordingly.
