Why Phuket?
Thailand is a special place for us because it’s where we spent our first three months living together. We lived in Chiang Mai and traveled to Phuket during that time, creating some of our favorite memories before getting engaged. It feels only fitting to celebrate our wedding where our adventure truly began.
Dress Code & Attire for the Beach Ceremony
As our ceremony will take place on the beautiful beach, we encourage guests to dress comfortably and in light, breathable fabrics. Think relaxed yet elegant—suitable for both the sand and a special occasion.
We recommend:
- Footwear: Barefoot or sandals are ideal for walking on the sand.
- Attire: Light, casual wear is perfect—dresses, linen shirts, and smart casual attire work well for both men and women.
- Sun Protection: Feel free to bring a hat or sunglasses, as the temperature in Thailand is hot.
