My notes on dress code are extremely long as I think more details are helpful for planning and I would hate for anyone to question if what they packed will work for each event.

Smart Casual

~ Italian Summer Flavored ~

(this means you should look like you just got off a Vespa)

Mood board linked here.

No denim shorts or white dresses please.

Summer Cocktail

Slightly more formal than the welcome party

Midi or short dresses/skirts for women and collared shirts / pants for men. Linen is highly encouraged for men, jackets/long sleeves are not necessary. No shorts or white dresses please.

Please note, the rehearsal dinner takes place at an Enoteca down the road. It is about a 3-5 minute walk on a gravel road. I will be wearing heels regardless, but please choose shoes according to your ability to walk in them.

Italian Summer Formal

Mood board here

Think “elevated summer flair”—a bit less formal than black tie, but still formal. It will be hot, so I highly recommend linen suits or breezy separates for men, and lightweight midi or maxi dresses—silk, chiffon, or anything airy—for women.

Style-wise: the bolder, the better. Bright colors, fun prints, statement accessories—nothing is “too much” (unless it’s white or a wedding gown). If you’ve been saving a fabulous, over-the-top dress for the right moment, this is it. The vision is for everyone to look like a vibrant, joyful bouquet in photos.

Please avoid neutrals or black if you can. That said, feeling confident and comfortable is most important—so if you feel best in black or a neutral, wear it! Men: colored suits are encouraged, but if that’s not your vibe, neutrals are totally fine.

A quick shoe note: the ceremony area includes grass and gravel, so stilettos may not be ideal early on. However, dinner, dancing, and the afterparty will be on solid ground—so if you want to wear tall heels, go for it! And since we’ll be staying onsite, you can always run back to your room for sandals if needed. Don’t feel pressured to wear a practical block heel unless you want to.

And lastly (but importantly): please no white dresses.

Swimsuits / Cover ups and lots of sunscreen!

Wear whatever you'd like! No dress code.
