Attire

Let's start with some facts. 
  1. We are getting married on October 12th. I have done some research: In 2008, the high was 82 degrees. In 2009, it was 52. In 2011, it was 88, and last year it was 62. Crazy. 
  2. We are getting married outside in a tent with removable sides and heaters 
  3. But, we still have lovely indoor bathrooms on the property and a covered bar 
  4. There will be wicked games of badminton, croquet, bocce ball, and possibly a potato sack race. 
  5. We would love you to stay as long as you like, even if it means changing out of your awesome dresses and suits and into jeans when it gets dark. 
Quincy has dreams of a Gatsby-esc suit and vest, am me, I am wearing a long white dress, but YOU? You on the other hand have endless possibilities. I have, in recent years, used several of your weddings as excuses to add fabulous dresses to my collection and highly encourage you to do the same, but maybe a fabulous jacket or sweater to match? It is in a field, so high heels may be discouraged... so wedges? flats? cowboy boots? And plan B outfit for when you accidentally fall in the pond and need to change before you get on the trolley back to the hotel.

Think picnic or garden party, but more than anything think something comfortable so you can have fun.

** An added note on shoes! Quincy and I recently attended our friend Jessica's beautiful wedding in Long Island at a golf course overlooking the ocean. I, smartly, decided to wear by 3 inch tall black suede heals, not realizing just how much of the event would be taking place outside. I looked awesome, but the golf course received and unscheduled aerating as I noticeably sank inches into the ground with every step.  Our entire wedding will be happening out of doors. I would suggest flats, boots, and wedges!
