Question
What should I wear to the wedding?
Answer
We kindly request formal attire for our wedding—think tuxedos, suits, long gowns, or elevated cocktail dresses. To complement the setting, we encourage guests to wear pastel tones. We kindly ask that you avoid white, ivory, or champagne shades, as well as neon or bold red hues, to help keep the overall look soft and elegant.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
Due to strict venue capacity limits, we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on each invitation. Unless your invitation specifically includes a plus one, we kindly ask that you attend solo.
Question
Should I bring nice jewelry?
Answer
While Brazil is way safer than what Americans crack it up to be, to be on the safer side, we wouldn't recommend wearing anything flashy. Thieves can't tell the difference between "fake gold" and "real gold".
Question
What season will it be in Brazil?
Answer
Since Brazil is in the southern hemisphere, it will be fall. You can expect daytime highs around 22–26°C (72–79°F) and cooler evenings. We suggest packing for warm weather, with light layers for the nighttime. Don't forget your swimsuit and Havianas ;)
Question
What options are there for transport?
Answer
Guests can use Uber, taxis, or private transfers to get around. On the wedding day, we’ll also be providing a shuttle from the hotel to the venue for your convenience.

Question
Can I leave my belongings unattended at the beach?

Question
Can I keep my cellphone in my back pocket?
Answer
To be cautious, we recommend avoiding keeping your phone in your back pocket while walking around town, as it could be easier for someone to grab.
Question
What Brazilian dishes should I try while I'm there?
Answer
Feijoada – Brazil’s national dish: a hearty black bean stew with pork, served with rice, farofa (toasted cassava flour), and orange slices. Picanha – A prized cut of beef, often grilled to perfection at churrascarias (Brazilian steakhouses). Açaí - a delicious frozen treat made from the deep purple berries of the Amazon. Served in a bowl and blended into a thick, sorbet-like texture, it's typically topped with granola, banana, and sometimes a drizzle of honey or condensed milk. Pão de Queijo - Warm, chewy, and totally addictive, pão de queijo is Brazil’s beloved cheese bread made from tapioca flour and cheese—usually a sharp, salty cheese like Minas or Parmesan. Naturally gluten-free and slightly crisp on the outside with a soft, stretchy center, these bite-sized rolls are found everywhere from cafés to bakeries to airport snack counters.
