Things to Do

Registry

We’d love for you to lean into our garden party theme—think light, colorful dresses, floral prints, pastel suits, or textured linens. For men, a lightweight suit or dress slacks with a blazer and tie or an open‑collar shirt works well; women might choose midi or tea‑length dresses, jumpsuits, or dressy separates....The ceremony portion of our day is outdoors at Smith Lake in Bremen, Alabama on July 4, 2026—expect warm weather, so breathable fabrics (linen, cotton, lightweight silk) and comfortable, stable shoes are recommended. A light shawl or blazer is a good idea for sunset breezes. ...If you’d like style ideas, check our inspiration page <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/emilylhecker/garden-party-formal-inspo/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a>
