FAQs

The Wedding Website of Ernesto Salinas Jr and Teddy Gabriel
Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Our wedding attire is inspired by warm earth tones and Filipino elegance, blending natural textures with timeless tradition. For ladies, flowing dresses in our color palette are ideal. Alampays or boleros in coordinating tones may be worn for added elegance and layering. For gentlemen, traditional Barong Tagalog in classic ivory or soft natural hues is highly encouraged. If you don't have a Barong, guests may also opt for a formal suit.

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by March 20th.

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

OPTIONAL Post Wedding Brunch: For anyone who would like to join—and depending on how everyone is feeling (including the newlyweds!)—we’ll gather for a casual brunch at Napa Yard, followed by a stroll through downtown Napa and possibly a wine tasting or two. This will be a relaxed, pay-your-own-way outing. Please RSVP if you plan to attend. Details to come!

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Having you celebrate with us means everything. In place of a traditional gift registry, we have created a cash fund to support our future together—whether it’s travel, our home, or the memories we’ll create as a family. Please go to the "registry" tab for more info. Thank you for your kindness, love, and for being part of our journey.
