What time should I arrive?
Please be seated at the venue no later than 4:45 PM
What should I wear?
For our wedding, we’ll be celebrating on a beautiful farm surrounded by natural grass and rustic charm. Dust off those dapper tuxes and pull out those gorgeous gowns, it's a black tie wedding! To keep things comfortable and practical, we kindly ask that all ladies wear block heels or wedges—this will make walking and standing on the grass much easier throughout the day.
And when it’s time to hit the dance floor, feel free to bring a pair of comfy dancing shoes to change into—so you can celebrate with us all night long!
Will the wedding be indoors?
All aspects of our wedding will be outdoors.
What if I have dietary needs?
Allergen and dietary specifications will be requested within your RSVP, but if any are severe concerns please also email our planner, Candice at hello@candicelorraine.com so we can have noted for all culinary elements of the events.
