You're Invited

My darling girls —
let's send her off right.

We have exactly seventy-two hours to spoil Gabby rotten, sing too loud, eat too much hot chicken, and dance until our boots give out. Pack your prettiest things, your stretchiest jeans, and the kind of energy that only shows up south of the Mason–Dixon. I cannot wait to see all your beautiful faces in Music City.

Dress Code

What to wear

A loose dress code, mostly so the photos look incredible. Lean in.

Look 01 · Travel Day
Friday — Travel Day
Easy Does It

Cutoff denim shorts, a cute cropped tank, your favorite cowboy boots, and a wide-brim hat. Comfortable enough for the airport and pulled together the second you hit Broadway.

04 / Tones
Look 02 · Saturday Night
Saturday — Boots & Honky Tonk
Rhinestone Cowgirl

Bring out the rhinestones. Sequin tops, white mini skirts, fringe bags, white cowboy hats and tall white boots. Sparkle from across the dance floor — the bride goes head-to-toe shine.

04 / Tones
Look 03 · Farewell Brunch
Sunday — Farewell Brunch
Southern Picnic

Breezy striped maxi dresses, sun hats, silk neck scarves and a glass of rosé. Picnic-table-ready and easy on a slow Sunday morning. Sandals or low boots — your blisters will thank you.
