Registry
Whilst your presence at our wedding is more than enough, should you wish to get a gift or give a contribution to our honeymoon fund, it would be greatly appreciated!
We have linked our wedding list here.
Any questions?
Can I bring a plus one?
Due to limited capacity, we’re only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We’re having an unplugged ceremony, so we kindly ask that you keep phones and cameras away during this time and be fully present with us. There will be plenty of time for photos afterwards!
What happens if it rains?
September weather can be unpredictable, but we’ve got it covered! There are beautiful indoor options at Pylewell Park, so the day will run seamlessly whatever the weather.
What should I wear on Saturday ?
The dress code is wedding formal, so think elegant dresses, tailored suits, and timeless silhouettes, we would encourage women not to wear black if possible. Hats, on the other hand, are excellent! As the day will include time outdoors at Pylewell Park, we recommend appropriate footwear for grass and gravel.
What are the transport arrangements?
There is free parking at the church and Pylewell Park. In the evening we will be running shuttles between Pylewell and Elmers Court/Careys Manor so there's no need to arrange transport back to the hotel. We've also arranged shuttles back to Pylewell from Elmers Court/Careys Manor on Sunday morning. If you wish to use this service, there is an option to select this on your RSVP form.
What should I wear on Sunday?
The dress code is casual chic, so think elevated comfort.
