Dress code
Think sophisticated festival - summer dresses, jumpsuits, funky prints on shirts or suits, chinos, linen shirts
Feel free to change in the evening - if you want to whip out the sequin hot pants, glitter cape or any other coachella worthy outfit, knock your sparkly socks off in the evening. Once the band starts playing (around 3pm), go wild 🎉
What not to wear (morning ceremony)
Dress nono's - Unless it's a white dress, and it covers both of your arse cheeks and both your nips - it's fine
Bridal party clash - The bridesmaids are all in burnt orange/rust, so please avoid this colour
Shoes - This is an outdoor event (covered from any rain), so heels might be quite a hindrance
Don't go too casual - No jeans, t-shirts, mini dresses/skirts etc. it's still a wedding people
Food & Drink
Food - We're providing lunch after the ceremony (1pm), a bagel bar & dessert table in the evening (7pm) and there will be a sweet bar all day
Drink - Please bring your own drinks! There will be some drinks available at the honesty bar, plus table & toasting wine is provided, but this is not enough for all guests so please do not rely on this being your only source of hydration
Good to know
Dogs & children - Unless your invite mentions a child or dog, we cannot accomodate for them
Honesty bar contents - Beer, 0% beer, kombucha, espresso martini, some spirits, basic mixers and a sodastream with various cordials
Gifts - We are not having a registry, or requesting any money for us. We would however love for any donations to go to our chosen charity - Coppershell Farm Sanctuary
