Between the two

Getting from one to the other

The church and the yacht club are a short drive apart, both in Grand Baie. Parking is restricted at both, so please travel together and share a car wherever you can. We hope to run a couple of shuttles between the ceremony and the celebration — we will confirm nearer the day.

Island smart

Warm weather, sand and grass underfoot, dinner outside. A jacket if you want one, but no need. Shoes you can stand and dance in.

See a few examples

Lovely for the day

  • Light, breathable fabrics — linen, cotton, chiffon
  • Flat or block-heeled shoes — there may be sand and grass
  • A layer for the evening breeze off the ocean

Perhaps leave behind

  • Full suits, or anything too warm for the tropics
  • Stiletto heels that struggle on soft ground
