What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

While the official wedding ceremony start time will be listed on your invitations, you can expect the ceremony to begin in the evening around 5 PM Italian time. Additionally, it is quite a drive from the nearest city, please give yourself plenty of time and arrive anywhere from 15-30 minutes early as to not disrupt the ceremony.

What should I wear?

This should come as no surprise but please please just AVOID any bright or neon primary colors. :)

FOR WOMEN

Please use this color palette as a guide below for your dress. Think muted, lighter colors that are not very contrasting. Florals are also okay. A floor-length gown, knee-length or midi dress, or a dressy pantsuit works! Opt for light colors and fabrics, using the palette as a guide. Please of course, AVOID anything white, cream or close to ivory.

FOR MEN

The above color palette does not necessarily apply to men (but if you want to, go for it!). In general, suits in any neutral color would work (tan, brown, black, grey, navy etc.) White button-down shirts are okay. Opt for lighter colors where possible. Barongs are also welcome.

Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

Everything will be outdoors!

What will the weather be like?

I recommend checking the forecast closer to the date, but as we'll be in Italy, from what I know it will be hot and a bit humid.

What will the wedding-day timeline look like?

Scheduling info will be updated on this site shortly, but for now, please expect the wedding to be around sunset.

How do I get to the wedding venue? Will transportation be provided?

Please find our venue info here and all of our travel info here. Please feel free to reach out to reginaldandsara@blanc-weddings.com if you need assistance in booking any travel accommodations, or a shuttle to and from the venue.

Is there parking available at the wedding venue?

Yes, there should be plenty of parking.

Do you have a hotel block for guests? Where do you recommend I stay?

We will be covering the stay for all guests at our venue. If you prefer to stay somewhere else, we have listed a couple of hotel options near the venue here.

Can I bring a Plus 1?

Unfortunately due to limited space issues, you are only able to bring a Plus 1 if we've specifically told you that you have one. Thanks so much for your understanding!

Can I bring my kids?

While we love your little ones, due to limited space we were unable to accommodate all of the little kiddos. Appreciate your understanding for this difficult decision, and we'll party with you and your little ones once we return!

What type of food will be served during the cocktail hour and reception?

There will be a charcuterie board during cocktail hour (Umbria is known for their specialty meats!), along with a couple of live food stations - please try them all! This is followed by a three-course plated dinner and traditional Italian wedding cake for dessert.

What about drinks?

Yes, we will have an open bar, you alcoholics.

You will also be served wine along with dinner. All I ask is.. you pace yourselves!

I have dietary restrictions/allergies. What's the best way to let you know?

You should be able to note this through our RSVP page but if there are any major concerns please reach out to us directly.

Where are you registered?

While your presence at our wedding is already more than a gift to us, if you'd like to get us a something little extra, find free to shop online registry here. Due to the fact that we'll all be traveling, please have any gifts shipped directly to our household -- there should be an option to do so on the registry website. It'll be easier for both you and us this way, so we can all avoid trying to fit all of these within our carry-ons while traveling around Europe!

I originally RSVP'd yes but something came up and now I can't make it. How should I let you know?

Please reach out to us directly.

Do I need to RSVP officially through this website?

Yes, but please hold for now as we still need to update the form. This should be ready once we send out official print invites in the coming weeks!

I can't make it to Italy, will this be the only reception?

We will miss you in Italy, but don't fret we will be having another reception back home in the summer of 2024 for those who can't make it!
