FAQs
What is the dress code?
We’d love to see our family and friends get dressed up for the big day! The dress code is formal. The goal is to look elegant while staying comfortable and enjoying a beautiful outdoor setting (i.e., light or breathable fabrics). Opt for floor or tea-length dresses, jumpsuits, suits, or tuxes.
Florals, pastels, and summery colors are encouraged—think upscale garden party!
What kind of shoes should I wear?
Please keep in mind that the ceremony will take place outside on grass. If you plan on wearing heels, a block heel or heel stoppers are highly recommended.
Will the wedding take place indoors or outdoors?
Both! The ceremony and reception (tented) will take place outdoors. The cocktail hour and after-party will be indoors.

What’s with the apple tree?
Our wedding logo is featuring an apple tree because an apple tree symbolizes love, growth, and new beginnings—perfect for our story together and for our celebration at an apple orchard and cidery. The carving “A + J 4eva” adds a playful touch, reflecting our childlike spirit and the enduring nature of our commitment.
