Dress Code: Black Tie

what’s encouraged:

suiting:
Tuxedos–black or midnight navy–with a formal shirt, bow tie, and classic evening shoes. Think traditional black tie rather than cocktail or business formal.

dresses:
elegant, relaxed evening wear- floor-length or long dresses in tonal or muted colors. Think refined silhouettes and elevated fabrics rather than cocktail or daytime styles. Dressy sandals are absolutely welcome.

Please note: The ceremony is going to be held on a sidewalk and the reception is a five minute walk away. There will be seating throughout, but we suggest elegant, yet comfortable shoes.

weather:

Early October is one of the nicest times of year in New York.

Days are typically mid-60s°F (18–21°C)–perfect for being outside–while evenings cool to the mid-50s°F (13°C), so a light jacket or shawl is a good idea.

There’s about a 25–30% chance of rain, usually just a brief shower. Most years are crisp and comfortable… which of course means it might rain. We’ll keep an eye on the forecast and adjust if needed.

please avoid:

• Suits, sport coats, blazers, or mix-and-match jackets

• Colorful bow ties or anything ‘fun’ (This is strictly prohibited by Tom and yes its me writing this, don’t you dare)

• Open collars, long ties, or anything cocktail-leaning

• Short, daytime, or overly casual dresses

• Stripes, polkadots, or loud patterns/colors (sorry Mum)

When in doubt, text tom.
