FORMAL

Our wedding is formal or “black-tie optional.” Think: polished, elegant, and camera-ready. Dark suits or tuxedo with dress shoes (or classy, dance-ready kicks) with a tie or bow tie is encouraged. Cocktail dresses, floor-length gowns, cocktail dresses, or tailored jumpsuits are also welcome. Please avoid casual attire. Remember that September evenings in Providence can be warm or cool, so, consider a shawl, wrap, or tailored jacket. Our color palette includes warm oranges, deep purples, and floral tone. Feel free to incorporate these if you’d like, but there’s no strict color requirement. If you have any accessibility or wardrobe questions (comfort, mobility, or sensory needs), get in touch and we’ll happily help.
