Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Semi-Formal or Cocktail Beach Wedding - Think light colors, not black. Ties and Jackets optional for men. Tea-length or Maxi dress for women. For color inspiration, Google "Miami Beach color palette" and think ocean blues, turquoise, coral, peach, blush pink, soft greens, sandy neutrals, and other light, tropical-inspired shades.

An umbrella or light rain gear for occasional showers.

Question
For Our Guests Traveling from Europe: do I need a visa and how long does it take to get it? What else do I need?
Answer
Most of our European guests won't need a visa and can travel with an ESTA instead. It's quick to apply online, but we'd suggest doing it a few weeks before your trip. You can apply here: https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov. Also, don't forget to get a travel insurance, as medical care in the U.S. can be very expensive. One more thing you'll need is a U.S. power adapter for your electronics.
