Dress Code

Woodland Wedding Setting

Woodland Formal

We want everyone to look their best, but more importantly, we want you to be comfortable! Since we’ll be celebrating among the trees, we’re going for a "fancy-comfortable" vibe—dressed up, but practical for a day in the forest.

Fabrics

Light and breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or seasonal blends will keep you feeling great all day.

Colors

Natural vibes—think earthy tones, soft neutrals, or light colors that feel at home in the woods.

Footwear

We'll be on natural ground, so please choose your shoes accordingly. Block heels, flats, or dress boots are your best friends here!

The Look

Suits, Button Ups, and dresses are perfect. We want you to look sharp, but keep it relaxed enough to enjoy the outdoors with us.
