Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

To add a touch of vintage charm and elegance to our garden wedding, we invite you to dress in attire inspired by the glamorous styles of the 1940s and 1950s. Enchant with tea-length dresses adorned with floral prints, delicate lace, or flowing fabrics that evoke the romance of bygone eras. Pair your outfit with kitten heels or vintage-inspired flats, and don't forget a sunhat or a dainty fascinator for a timeless garden look. Embrace the suave sophistication of the mid-20th century with lightweight suits in pastel colors or classic patterns like pinstripes. Alternatively, smart casual attire such as trousers paired with a button-up shirt will also capture the essence of the era. Complete your ensemble with loafers or oxford shoes to stroll the lawn in style.

Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?
