What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Airlie is beautiful in June, so we encourage guests to arrive at 4 pm to tour the gardens and enjoy drinks and music at The Bottle Chapel prior to the ceremony. The ceremony will begin at 5:00 on the Oak Lawn and the reception will follow at 5:30 on the Bradley Creek Lawn.

What should I wear?

Our wedding is black tie optional. The ceremony and reception will take place outside on a lawn, so choose shoes accordingly. Women may want to consider wearing a shoe with a block or wedge heel. For other events, please see the schedule of events for attire suggestions.
