What should I wear?

The vibe is semi-formal/dressy casual, so cocktail length dresses (points for florals) for the girls and dress pants with a polo shirt (blazer optional) for the boys.

If you want, you can also choose to wear some of our favourite soft pastels as per the colour guide below!

What’s the weather like?

November is the start of the New Zealand summer season. The temperature tends to be around the low 20 degree Celsius range. As the ceremony will be held outside, please wear sunscreen. The weather cools down in the evening, so a jacket is always a good idea.

Can I bring a gift?

We are already thankful that you are able to celebrate with us, but if you wish to give a gift, we will gratefully accept any contribution to our Home Fund at 01-0221-0826201-01 or you can drop them off at our wishing well on the day!

Can I take photos and videos during the ceremony?

We would like to request that no photos and videos be taken during the ceremony. After that is fine, though!
