Attire

Tea & Tequila is a chic daytime event that flows into a festive evening celebration. We encourage guests to embrace polished, elegant attire that feels stylish yet comfortable for the afternoon setting. The event takes place on the terrace, where it can become chilly as the sun sets, so please bring a wrap, jacket, or other layer to stay cozy throughout the evening. Blankets will be provided.
