What should I wear?
We suggest semi-formal / garden party attire. Think elegant but comfortable - you'll be enjoying cocktails on the lawn, followed by dinner outdoors in the courtyard, before moving indoors for dancing.
Ladies, please note that parts of the venue have grass and gravel paths, so consider wedges or block heels rather than stilettos. Gentlemen, please wear a suit jacket.
Evenings can be cooler, so we recommend bringing a light layer or wrap.
Our Wedding Color Palette
Many of you have asked about wardrobe guidance, so we're sharing our wedding attire color palette here.
We would absolutely love to see you wearing tones from this selection. If you already have something in your closet that fits within or close to these colors — perfect. Please don't feel any pressure to purchase something new just for our celebration. This is simply soft guidance to help create a harmonious atmosphere.
The colors are not connected to gender — navy isn't just for men, rose isn't just for women. Wear whichever shade you feel best in.
Most importantly, come as you are and celebrate with us.
