For the wedding day, we recommend wearing beach wedding attire. August in Connecticut can be warm and humid during the day and breezy near the water in the evening. We recommend light, breathable attire and bringing a layer if you tend to get chilly at night.
The cocktail hour will be on the pier, but dinner will be under a tent on a sandy beach. Flip flops and bare feet welcome at the reception!
For brunch, casual attire.
