Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
The ceremony and reception is Black-Tie Optional; floor length gowns, tuxedos and bowtie, dark colored suits and ties (black, dark grey, or navy). Please avoid wearing light colored suits or light fabrics such as linen or cotton. Please refer to the Pinterest board if you need some ideas! https://pin.it/5AorjXasg This is your time to show off! We encourage floor length gowns in all different fall colors, textures, and patterns. Nothing is too much so have fun with accessories! We also suggest that ladies plan to pack a shawl or scarf for the evening as the temperature will drop down at night and weather permitting this will be an outdoor event. It is also recommended for anyone wearing heels to pack a platform style or with a thicker heel, the villa does have some uneven ground and mixed terrain. The rehearsal and welcome dinner on 10/24/2025 will be formal cocktail attire. Men, suits and ties are encouraged or suit jacket and dress shirt! Ladies, ankle length, tea length, or midi dresses are great, feel free to have fun with your look. https://pin.it/5Z4DlQnrI
Question
What weather should I expect?
Answer
October sees pleasant weather with a few more sunny days being traded in for cloudy, rainy ones. Temperatures across the Tuscany region run between 52-72°F and the Tyrrhenian Sea remains relatively warm until mid-October (70°F/21°C).

Question
What do I need when traveling from America to Italy?
Answer
When traveling from America to Italy in 2025, you will need a valid passport and a pre-travel authorization called ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) as it is expected to be mandatory for US citizens entering the Schengen Area, including Italy, starting mid-2025. Essentially, you will need to apply online for this authorization before your trip. Here's the link for more information + how to apply for EITAS: https://etias.com/what-is-etias

Can I take and post pictures on social media?

The ceremony will be completely unplugged and kindly ask that phones are put away and no pictures are taken. We want you to be present in the moment and we have an incredible team of videographers and a photographer to capture everything.
Question
What health and safety measures are you taking?
Answer
We will be staying up to date and checking for required or recommended vaccinations for Europe/Italy and we will stay updated on any travel health advisories before traveling. As the date approaches we just ask that all guests keep an eye on your health and how you are feeling, we will all be staying in one villa in close quarters so being mindful of the health of others around us is appreciated!
