Dress to Impress

Elegant coastal sophistication

What to Wear

Beach Formal

We're celebrating by the ocean, so think elegant yet comfortable. Light, breathable fabrics are perfect for our seaside setting, allowing you to look stunning while enjoying the coastal breeze.

Color Palette
Soft pastels, creams, sage green, dusty blue, and blush tones beautifully complement our beachside venue. Please kindly avoid white, ivory, and cream as these are reserved for the bride.

For Her
Flowing maxi dresses, elegant midi dresses, or sophisticated jumpsuits. We recommend wedges, block heels, or dressy sandals for comfort on the lawn and sand.

For Him
Light linen or cotton suits, dress shirts with tailored slacks, or blazers with chinos. Ties are optional but welcomed. Lighter colors work beautifully for our beach setting.
