Lucy & Bradley

Our dress code is summer formal — suits for men, no ties required. It will be hot in the Dordogne in August, so choose something light; we'd rather you were comfortable than sweltering. Women should wear full length summer dresses or equivalent — no hats required. Please bear in mind that parts of the day will be on grass, so stiletto heels may not be your friend!

Your invitation will name everyone we've been able to include. The château can only hold so many of us — we hope you'll understand!

Please let us know as early as you can, and no later than the date given on your invitation. If your plans change afterwards, just get in touch.

Please plan to take a taxi to and from the château rather than driving — it means nobody has to worry about getting home, or about how much fizz they've had. Taxis in rural France do need booking in advance — we will soon share recommendations for local taxi companies. We will also be running a shuttle service between Château Lacanaud and central Eymet at the close of our celebrations.

Largely, yes — we expect to hold the ceremony down by the lake, with drinks in the gardens and dinner under the trees. There's shelter on hand should the weather surprise us. Sunglasses and sun cream are both worth bringing.

Simply tell us when you RSVP — there's a box for exactly this. Allergies, intolerances and preferences are all no trouble at all, as long as we know in good time.

Your presence in France is genuinely the present. Should you wish to give something anyway, we'll share details closer to the time.

During the ceremony we'd love you to be fully present with us, so we'd ask that phones and cameras are put away — our photographer will capture everything. After that, please snap away to your heart's content.

Do just get in touch with us directly — there's a message box on the RSVP form, and we're always happy to hear from you.
