Dress Code Policy
Black Tie Optional
Tatum and Pavel will, of course, be dressed to the nines. It's strongly recommended that wedding guests follow a black tie optional dress code.
​
For transparency, we expect this flexible dress code to encompass a range of semi-formal attire to black tie formal wear, including:
-
Tuxedos
-
Dinner jackets
-
Black or color suits/pantsuits
-
Blouses or collared shirts
-
Dress pants or skirts
-
Dresses or skirts of all lengths
-
Dress shoes with heels of any height
​
We request that people avoid wearing:
-
Athletic outerwear or sweatshirts
-
T-shirts
-
Shorts or sweatpants
-
Flip flops
The betrothed acknowledge the complexity of clothing and self-expression, and above all, encourage wedding guests to wear attire that's accessible and empowering.
Kindly, Do Not Wear All Black or Red
Traditionally, wedding guests do not wear white dresses to weddings. However, neither the betrothed nor their wedding are traditional. As such, based on the attire Pavel and Tatum curated for the occasion, wedding guests are instead asked to not wear all black or red.
​
Wedding guests are welcome to wear color. They can also wear black suits/tuxedos with white or color shirts, burgundy or pink attire, even white dresses!
A Note on An Outdoor Wedding
While the betrothed are planning for rain and sunshine with heated tents galore, wedding guests are encouraged to dress for the weather as we get forecasts closer to the date (i.e. overcoats, gloves). Additionally, given that the wedding will be on mostly flat grass, guests should use caution when or avoid wearing pointed heels.
