REMINDERS
& WEATHER
REGARDING ATTIRE FOR THE WEDDING AND RECEPTION:
REMINDER:
Everyone in the wedding party including the Best Man, & Woman &
Mothers of the Grooms should wear clothes from one of
the colors of peacock feathers.
The wedding ceremony will be outside in the
early evening so it may be a little bit chilly.
The reception site is a quick 2 block walk from
the ceremony site and is indoors. As far as
attire we would like everyone to get done up,
accent on swanky, kitsch, retro, funky and cool.
What does that mean…
let your imagination wander, funky hats, vintage
dresses, cool ties, retro suits, hip formal but not
stuffy… whatever gets you through the night
and makes you look good!
