Wedding Party

Colin and Alaina are encouraging guests to use this as the perfect excuse to dress up! Pull out that dress you never seem to have an occasion for, dust off that button-up, and - most importantly - be comfortable. We encourage colourful attire but it is not mandatory!We understand that a July wedding might be warm, but keep in mind that Newfoundland weather can change on a dime. The reception will be outside (weather permitting), so it’s a good idea to keep an eye not only on the temperature but also on the wind.In other words: come dressed for summer… but maybe keep a sweater nearby. Welcome to Newfoundland, Capers!
