We invite you to step into a touch of fantasy —think elves in flowing fabrics, tieflings with bold touches, wizards in layered robes, rogues in dark linens and leather accents, or any soft medieval look that hints at magic and adventure. Go subtle or go bold, whatever feels fun.

If dressing in theme isn't your thing, all-black semi-formal still fits perfectly into the atmosphere.

Arlington in early October tends to be cool, and rain may drift through like a passing spell. Bring layers so you can bundle up or lighten your look as the day unfolds. Our ceremony is expected to take place on grass (if it isn't raining), so choose footwear that keeps you comfortable and sure-footed on the forested grounds.

We ask that guests avoid white, ivory, cream, or any near-white shades, so the bride can keep her moment of magic. Please skip neon colors and modern logos, as they break the fantasy spell of the day. Props are welcome, but no real weapons of any kind (foam or clearly decorative items are fine). For everyone's comfort, please refrain from strong perfumes, and avoid large props like wings that could block seating or views. Lastly, please skip light-up or LED accessories, as the venue will already be beautifully lit for the evening's enchantment.
