Question

What should I wear? What is "Garden Party Formal"?

Answer

Garden Party Formal is a dress code that combines elements of formal attire with a relaxed, outdoor vibe. The venue will be a mix of outdoor and indoor, with some grass and potentially uneven terrain such as cobblestone paths. There should be at least one smooth route to get where you need to go, but keep your footwear in mind when planning your outfit! Think of it as a blend of elegance and comfort. It's about looking polished and put-together, but in a way that's suitable for an outdoor setting. Feminine attire could mean a chic midi or floor length dress. Masculine attire could be a suit or blazer. Pick nice footwear that you can navigate outdoors in. So, while it's a step down from black tie, it's definitely a step up from casual.

We love our venue, but it can get a tad confusing to navigate! Please see the map above and prepare accordingly to give yourself enough time to arrive. For those staying at the castle, check in begins around 3 pm.
