We warmly invite guests to dress in Garden Party Formal attire, reflecting the timeless coastal elegance of our outdoor Newport celebration. For inspiration and guidance, we have included a link to our Pinterest board below.

For Women:
Full-length or midi dresses in elegant, flowing fabrics such as silk, chiffon, or organza are appropriate. Bright tones, classic florals, and graceful silhouettes complement the coastal garden setting. Block heels, wedges, or elegant flats are recommended for comfort on grass and stone pathways.

For Men:
Lightweight suits in seasonal tones (think light blue, tan, gray, or navy) paired with a tie or bow tie are appropriate. Complement the outfit with dress shoes or tasteful loafers.

We ask that guests refrain from wearing dresses or suits in shades of white or cream, as this color is reserved for the bride.

The ceremony will begin promptly at TBD. Please arrive no later than TBD or you will sadly miss out on our ceremony.

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Thank you for understanding.

Yes! There will be valet services provided at the entrance.
