Attire & Footwear for the Wedding

Many of you have asked us for recommendations on appropriate attire and footwear for our wedding.

First, a few key pieces of information about the venue and wedding:

• Most of the festivities will take place in the great outdoors on the grounds of the Cayuga Nature Center.
• The average high temperature in Ithaca for August is about 80 degrees with lows in the mid-50s.
• The trails crisscrossing the Nature Center grounds are lined with wood chips, light gravel and in some places just plain dirt. You are encouraged to explore!
  
• Our ceremony will take place on the expansive back lawn of the Nature Center and you'll have to walk over grass to get to and from the main lodge.
• We'll be dining al fresco under a tent, with grass beneath our feet.
• Following dinner, there WILL be dancing!
  

We want you to be comfortable, but also to look snappy for all those wedding photos!

Fellas, we think khaki or linen pants with a polo or collared shirt would do the trick. Aloha shirts MOST welcome! Suits and sport coats are not necessary.

Ladies, we recommend a summery dress, skirt or slacks. Think twice before wearing high heels as you might sink into the grass or have trouble maneuvering the trails. And you can be sure the bride won't be wearing them!

If you're still confused or want more clarification, we suggest googling the term "resort casual," or just ask us!
