Guest attire clarifications
09.02.2023As per the official invitation post at the bottom of this announcements page, the requested attire is "smart" (with a preferred colour palette of shades of blue, beige and cream).
Please no swimsuitsย ๐ฉฑ ๐ ๐ฉฒ โ
I.e. for female guests, dresses would be appropriate โ๏ธ
Shorts? No Sir! ๐ฉณ โ
For example, long trousers or chinos (legs rolled up on the beach would be fine) โ๏ธ however, no jeans โ
Keeping cool ๐๏ธ
09.02.2023We are looking into sourcing large umbrellas to provide some shaded areas to the back of the ceremony setup.
We ask you not to use your own umbrellas in the rows so that this doesn't block the view of others or interfere with photographs/footage.
For those wearing larger hats, please keep in mind the preferred colour theme of the general attire for these as well.
A note on footwear...
05.02.2023As this is a formal event, ideally shoes are worn. However, with the ceremony being on the islet (weather-dependent!) and access is via the beach and sea, then you may not want to wear shoes for the ceremony.
In this case a nice pair of sandals/flip-flops would be appropriate for the ceremony, saving the shoes for the reception if this is convenient, otherwise simply removing the shoes for the beach and transport to the islet is an option.
Is it a boat? Is it a stroll??
05.02.2023No, it's ... probably somewhere between the two.ย
For your information, access to the islet for the ceremony depends on the tide. In low tide, it might be possible to walk but the level of the tide will vary. In high tide, we will need to use a boat to reach the islet.
We imagine that to get to the islet (around 2-3pm) this will require the boat, but when returning to the beach from the islet after the ceremony, the tide might be low enough to walk.
We will get an idea of this situation in the days before the event while we are in Mithi and be able to announce at that time.
