Formal attire fit for a timeless occasion!
We invite you to dress to the nines, with classic fashion and winter charm in mind. Think velvets, deep jewel tones, rich textures, and hints of antique elegance. Our hope is to be surrounded by the heritage and warmth we love most about Christmas time. Rachael's bridal party will be wearing dark green with natural and faux furs—some of which are cherished family heirlooms. Robert's side will be wearing a mix of rich browns and blacks. We welcome you to embrace formal winterwear in your own style, and if you have special pieces or heirlooms of your own (fur or otherwise), we’d love to see them!

Tips for the weather!
Dress warmly! Both the Basilica and Cutten sit on top of hills. It will likely be windy, even if you are only outside for a short while (we have no intention of leaving you outside). You'll want to be warm in transit from venue to venue! Layers are key, we don't know what we'll get in January! Ladies, I recommend layering tights under your dress. You can always take them off later. Borrow Grandma's dressy winter coat if she'll let you.
Shoes and Coats. There will be a coat hanging area available at Cutten (pictured left) to hang your winter coat and place your shoes (if you'd like to change footwear). Depending on the weather, a change of shoes might be best.
Would you fancy some inspo?
Some of you are (like me) lovers of a good mood board, so I made one! Just so you know, there is no such thing as overdressed, so please have fun with it!
