Dress Code

Summer formal

Gentlemen, a tuxedo or an elegant suit; ladies, a long colourful dress in the shade that suits you best. We kindly reserve white for the bride.

A night just for the grown-ups

As much as we adore your little ones, our celebration will be an adults-only evening. Please take it as the perfect excuse for a well-deserved night off — dress up, stay out late and dance until the last shuttle leaves.

Gifts

Your presence means the world to us. As this is an international wedding, we do not have a registry. If you wish to contribute, a monetary gift toward our honeymoon would be deeply appreciated. There will be a dedicated place for gifts on the day of the event, or we can provide bank details upon request.
