What to Wear

The dress code, our palette, and a few practical notes for a January evening in the desert — everything you need to feel comfortable and look wonderful.

The dress code

Semi-formal

Polished, but nobody’s renting a tux: suits or sport coats (tie optional) and slacks; cocktail dresses, midi or maxi dresses, or a sharp jumpsuit. Dress for a garden celebration that runs into a cool desert night.

What it looks like

A feel for the direction while we finalize the dress code. These are placeholders, not the real inspiration board — we’ll swap in true-to-code examples once it’s official.

  • Example — midi dress
  • Example — suit, no tie
  • Example — maxi dress with a wrap
  • Example — sport coat & trousers
  • Example — dressy jumpsuit
  • Example — knit dress & boots

Practical notes

Bring a layer

January days in Phoenix are lovely — highs around 68°F — but the desert cools off fast after sunset, with evenings near 45°F. It is genuinely cold once the sun goes down, so plan on a coat, wrap, or warm jacket for the evening.

A note on heels

The venue is garden-style — lawns, pavers, and outdoor paths — so stilettos will have a hard night. Block heels, wedges, or flats are the safe bet; we’ll confirm the exact surfaces once we’ve walked our ceremony spot.

Indoors or out?

The ceremony spaces at our venue are outdoors in the gardens, and the evening carries on there until 10:00 PM — so dress with the desert night in mind. The full rundown lives on The Wedding page.

The one rule

Please leave white and ivory to the bride.

Everything else is fair game — truly. Wear what makes you feel wonderful.
