Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
What should I wear?
The dress code is semi-formal, however please bear the weather in mind. The temperature in the Algarve in August can, and does, exceed 30 degrees. Therefore lighter summer dress material and shorts and a shirt would be ideal.
We will be changing into Sri Lankan traditional dress for the reception, we encourage all our guests to also change however this isn't compulsory.
What traditional dress can I wear?
Men would traditionally wear a Sherwani or a Kurta, both of these are straightforward to wear. Women would wear a Saree, Lehenga, Anakali or Gown. We would recommend a Lehenga or Anakali as these are either a blouse (top) and skirt or blouse and trousers and are very simple to wear.
These can be purchased online. In person we would suggest visiting shops in Southall in London or Bradford in the nothingnesses of England. Note it is traditional for the Bride to wear red/fuschia.
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by 01.02.2023
Are kids welcome?
Yes!
What will the weather be like?
Most likely very hot and dry. There will be shade throughout the event, but for the 20mins for the ceremony. Please bear this in mind when choosing your outfit!
Where should I park?
There is parking available at the hotel should you be driving.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony is outdoors, however the meal will be indoors (with aircon!)
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Heals are OK however to access the cliffs you will need flat shoes so bring some flip flops!
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes! We would love for you to take photos.
However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony.
