We recommend using the following guidelines as you prepare for your big day!
Dos! | Don’ts! |
---|---|
Observe Professional grooming standards used at NCC. | Ignore Professional Grooming standards. |
Wear Professional Dress and Shoes (i.e. interview attire). | Wear Casual wear or Athletic wear. |
Choose solid or lightly patterned fabrics. | Choose boldly patterned fabrics (as they can be distracting in your photo). |
Choose mid-tone colors (e.g. blues, greens, purples). | Wear white (the photo backdrop is white and you will look like a floating head). |
If wearing a button up, consider a tie, sweater, or blazer. | Choose very bright colors (e.g. highlighter tones). |
Choose flesh tone colors (as tops that match your skin tone can blend your face into your clothing in the photo) |
ABSOLUTELY, it is encouraged!
After checking in with the welcome team, you will be mingling and taking photos with instructors, taking your
own social media photos, giving interviews on Facebook Live and preparing to walk into the arena.
There is not much time scheduled to arrive, check-in, and snap some pictures and videos before it’s
showtime…so
don’t be late. It’s NOT an option.
The entire arena will be open for their enjoyment. There are multiple concessions and bar locations open from
which they can purchase a variety of foods and drinks to enjoy during the ceremony.
Although there is plenty of seating, the earlier your guests arrive, the better chance they have of getting
their preferred seats.
