Black-Tie Optional: Opt for a dark suit or a tuxedo, a formal evening gown, a cocktail dress, or dressy separates. Evening gloves and cufflinks won't look out of place. Lean into the romance of the historic surroundings where we will be celebrating together! Please refrain from wearing dresses, jumpsuits, suits, or tuxes that are white, cream, taupe, or colors that may look similar to those tones.

Garden Attire: Cocktail dresses, dressy jumpsuits, chinos or suit pants, button-up shirts, lawn-approved shoes, and a blazer or jacket in case it gets cold at night. Please refrain from wearing dresses, jumpsuits, suits, or tuxes that are white, cream, taupe, or colors that may look similar to those tones. We've put together a mood board to help you plan.

A taxi or Uber is the easiest way - Carberry Tower is about a 30 minute drive from the airport. You can also rent a car and park at Carberry, but you won't need to drive anywhere once at the venue for wedding activities.
Our transportation will pick us up at Carberry to take us into the city, beverages will be served on board. After a 45 minute tour of the city, including a photo stop at Calton Hill, those participating in the crawl will be dropped off near the first bar. Guests can choose to skip the crawl and stay on board to continue the tour for another 30 minutes before returning to Carberry around 5.30pm. Those who stay in the city for the bar crawl will take cabs/ubers back to Carberry.
Unless they are dual voltage, keep your hair tools at home - they will cause a fire if you use them in the UK. Other electronics (your phone charger etc) are fine to use but you will need to purchase UK adaptors! They are expensive in the airport so we recommend buying them ahead of time.
Tee times are available at Gullane Golf Club which is nearby Carberry. Make your reservation ASAP: https://www.gullanegolfclub.co.uk/
