Beach cocktail attire is similar to semi-formal beach wear. Men’s ties are optional but welcome; a collared long-sleeve or short-sleeve button-down with dressy pants is perfectly acceptable in the Florida heat — sport coats are optional. Appropriate footwear includes nice loafers or boat shoes. Women may wear a semi-formal dress (maxi or midi), a jumpsuit, or dressy separates; vibrant colors and bold prints are encouraged. Finish with a low heel, wedge, or dressy flats and beachy accessories like a raffia clutch. Please note: our wedding is outdoors in Longboat Key in September, so dress for warm daytime weather but bring a light layer for after sunset when temperatures may drop. Absolutely no t-shirts, flip-flops, or bathing suits at the ceremony — please save those for your beach or pool day.
