Attire & Weather Preparedness
This is a Rain or Shine outdoor event held on a beautiful organic farm. Tents will be provided for guest comfort; however, guests are strongly encouraged to dress in layers and come prepared for all weather conditions. Summer evenings can shift from warm sunshine to cool breezes, so bringing an extra layer is highly recommended to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the festivities.
Bring additional Rain jacket and / or umbrella if rain is in the forecast!
For those who love a theme, we invite you to embrace a little Farm Chic for the evening! Think flowing summer dresses, wide-brimmed hats, cowboy boots, trucker hats, linen shirts, denim jackets, or even a pair of stylish overalls if inspiration strikes. Whether your style is rustic elegance, country casual, bohemian, vintage, or uniquely your own, we encourage you to have fun with it and express your creativity.
Please note that these attire suggestions are simply for fun and are entirely optional. The most important thing is that you come comfortable, prepared for the elements, and ready to enjoy a magical Summer Soirée under the open sky.
