Questions & Answers

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ceremony begins to allow time for parking and seating.

Our day is all about effortless elegance—classy but relaxed. Think garden party chic: flowing dresses, stylish jumpsuits, tailored trousers with light blouses, or smart shirts with comfortable shoes. No need for full suits or ties unless you prefer that style. We're aiming for a beautiful, cohesive colour palette. Please wear nature-inspired tones such as: • Lush greens • Deep maroons • Dusty pinks • Warm ambers • Muted golds • Jewel tones White, ivory, cream, silver, light pastel shades, and black are strictly reserved for the bride and groom. If your outfit is too close to bridal tones—even very pale colours—you may be asked to change. We want everyone to feel confident and comfortable while keeping the focus where it belongs. For inspiration, see our Dress Code Moodboard. If you're wearing a smartwatch, please keep it discreet tucked under a sleeve or hidden from view. We'd love our photos to feel timeless.
