FAQs

  • Cocktail Attire. Formal & elegant — but summer-friendly!

    We’d love for everyone to dress up in a way that feels stylish yet relaxed, perfect for a warm late-summer celebration.

    Style inspiration:

    • Long, flowing dresses in breathable fabrics

    • Elegant cuts and soft silhouettes

    • Linen suits, crisp shirts, and polished shoes (comfortable enough for a stroll on grass)

    Colour guide:

    • We’re encouraging block colours over prints or patterns.

    • Go for simple, elegant tones that harmonise together - such as earthy browns, sage greens, ocean blues, deep wine reds — anything inspired by the garden.

    Let’s keep it cool, classy, and comfortable as we celebrate under the sun (hopefully).

    Accommodation options we’d recommend:

  • During the ceremony we’ll request that it’s a phone-free zone, so that we can all be in the moment. We have hired a photographer and videographer who will be working hard to capture all of the special moments. So you don’t need to worry about capturing anything during the ceremony. We want you to be able to switch off and enjoy yourself!

    We’d love you to take photos during the rest of the day if you’d like to. We’ll share a QR code where you can upload any photos you capture.

    Following our wedding we’ll share the photos and videos with you all.

  • Our ceremony will be at Roserai House. There will be a cloakroom available here.

    Arrival is by 1:30pm, so please make yourself comfortable before the ceremony starts at 2:00pm.
