About the Wedding Dress Code

What is the Dress code for your wedding?

The dress code is tropical island attire. Don't sweat the details, though. No matter what you wear, we're just happy to have you there!

Are there any colors or styles you’d prefer me to wear?

Break out your favorite colors and wear a bright flowy patterned dress or you can go for tan linen guayabera wear. We're having a  wedding in Puerto Rico, so we'd love for you to get really into it.

What is the weather like in the area?

Keep in mind that even though it's January, we'll be closer to the equator so it still gets to 85 degrees during the day! Bring clothes for the heat, humidity, and sun. I reccomend planning your hair around that as well. Now may not be the time for a silk press ladies. Also, don't forget your swimsuit!
