Ceremony
1:00 pm
4 Darling Street, Northern Ireland BT74 7EW, United Kingdom
Wondering what to wear? Here's an excerpt from British Vogue: "The idea of wearing a long formal gown is considered a little showy or even inappropriate. In the UK, female guests tend to stick to more summery and celebratory - even whimsical - frocks. Chiffons, ruffles, and floral prints are all considered the more festive route to take. " And of course hats and fascinators are encouraged!
More details to come.
