ATTIRE
We welcome and encourage all guests to join in on our medieval theme by wearing medieval "garb" (attire).
The "setting" of our wedding is late 1400s England - if you would like to dress for the time period, there is detailed information about the fashions of that time below. However, we also welcome a freer interpretation of "medieval" to include renaissance and fantasy elements. :) Resources for buying or making medieval garb are below.
Please note the venue is lovely but very rustic - think summer camp! This is a wooded venue with dirt paths which may be muddy if it rains (unlikely in late June, but always possible in Seattle!) - please plan to wear comfortable shoes. Ladies will be most comfortable in low heels or flats. This is also a PNW wedding, so we recommend bringing a light jacket or sweater as the night will cool off a bit. The average weather for the day is a high of 67 and low of 48.
SCHEDULE
Please plan to arrive in Ashford by noon on Saturday. The ceremony will begin promptly at 1:00pm. Wedding festivities will conclude by noon on Sunday.
