Our Wedding

Once upon a time, in a Melbourne bar, a Yorkshire girl was introduced to a local boy. They talked about brunch, music, travel and life, and what began as an easy chat quickly turned into a friendship. A few weeks later came their first date in an underground speakeasy and for their second date, they ran a half-marathon together — from that moment on, they never did anything by halves.The following year, they moved back to the UK and Noah joined the family. Two years of relaxed travel and parenthood in London followed, before life called them back to Australia, where Arielle arrived. Life became busier as a family of four, they bought a house, took on a major renovation, but somehow it still felt like someone was missing. That someone turned out to be Giselle, completing the family.So is it any wonder they never quite found the time to get married?One beautiful day, high in the French Alps with Mont Blanc standing tall behind them, the Melbourne boy finally popped the question…… so here we are, counting down to July and the day we get to celebrate with the people we love most and we couldn’t imagine getting to this incredible milestone without you all by our side supporting our journey.

How it all began…

Wedding Party

We’d love to see you all dressed up for our special occasion in summer style. Suits for men (ties encouraged for ceremony), colourful dresses for women and of course hats are very welcome. Weather permitting the ceremony will be held outside, so remember sunglasses, sunscreen and most importantly some comfy shoes to dance the night away!

This is a night to celebrate, dance and have fun. Think colourful, festive and joyful. Traditional Indian attire is encouraged, including saris, lehengas, kurtas and sherwanis, but it is absolutely not required. If you do not own Indian clothing, bright cocktail attire, flowing dresses, or smart shirts with colour are perfect. Comfort is key, especially for dancing. If in doubt, choose more colour and less formality.

Join the train at Paddington Station, London. Book early and sit on the left-hand side to get the breathtaking views of the Riviera Coast. Journey can be booked to St Erth station if options not available for St Ives. This is the local mainline station and a taxi can easily be booked to collect you to drive the last 15mins to St Ives. Travel time between London and St Ives is approximately 6 hours so please factor this is to your arrival.

London to St Ives Train

Travelling from London, the quickest route is via the M4 past Heathrow. However, if you have the time and inclination the M3 turns onto the A303, a beautiful scenic route past Stonehenge. From Yorkshire drive to the West towards Manchester or Birmingham and join the M5. All routes join the M5 and once just past Exeter, turn off at junction 31 for the A30 heading towards Devon. Follow&nbsp;A30&nbsp;to&nbsp;roundabout at Hayle and take the 2nd exit to Nut Lane and A3074 to St Ives town. If you’d prefer to break the journey, Cheltenham, Gloucester or Bristol are about half way from Yorkshire. From London popular places to stop are the Cottswolds or Bath.

By road

If flying from Australia, most likely you will arrive in London. The journey from here can be made by hire car or by train (please note both journeys will take 6+ hours so please leave plenty of time). If flying from Europe or another part of the U.K. the nearest airport is Newquay although there are limited carriers who fly to this destination. Travel time to St. Ives is approximately 1 hour by taxi or train. Bristol is 3.5+ hours and Exeter 2.5+ hours from St Ives but again flight pathways from Europe are limited so plan accordingly.
