We are so excited to celebrate with you! As our wedding will take place in the winter, with festivities both indoors and outdoors, we encourage everyone to dress accordingly and bring a warm layer for time spent outside.
Thank you for helping us create the elegant atmosphere we've envisioned. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
Attire Particulars
Colors to Avoid
To ensure the bride remains distinct, we kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing white, ivory, or cream. Additionally, while our venue is lush with greenery, earthy tones are highly encouraged to complement the natural surroundings.
Footwear for the Evening
The ceremony will be held in the chapel on the manicured grounds of the Hoyt Hallow estate. We recommend wedges, block heels, or elegant flats for maximum comfort and stability. Due to a portion of the evening being outdoors stiletto heels may prove difficult on the natural grass surfaces of the grounds.
Weather Preparation
While December in Alabama is generally mild, the air can become quite crisp once the sun sets. We recommend bringing a light wrap, pashmina, or tailored jacket to stay cozy during the outdoor cocktail hour and the evening reception at the venue.
