Ahhh the most exciting question!! (According to Paige, that is.) Welcome party- Cocktail Attire Elevated cocktail attire -- dresses, sets, and suits for men. Color and a little Italian flair is always welcome. Wedding- Black Tie Consider this your Italian Met Gala. Dress to Impress!! Floor length gowns and elevated formal dresses. For men, tuxedos preferred. One small request: Gold is being saved for the bride's sisters, so please kindly avoid predominantly gold gowns. **Regarding shoes: We recommend a block heel for Villa Cimbrone's gardens. Ravello is filled with charming cobblestones and steps, so if you'd like, bring a change of shoes for the walk to and from the villa. Heels highly recommend upon arrival, of course.
With a destination wedding and a strict guest limit at our venue, we've had to be especially thoughtful with our guest list and keep the celebration to the people who have been closest to us throughout our lives and relationship. For this reason, we're only able to accommodate the guests specifically named on each invitation. We are so grateful to have you celebrating with us in Ravello!
We recommend arriving in Italy by Thursday May 27th so you can settle and enjoy a little time on the Amalfi Coast before the festivities begin. Friday arrivals are absolutely welcome- just plan to make your way to Ravello with enough time to settle in before our Welcome Party! And if you can come earlier-- even better!! Make a trip out of it.
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be adults-only with the exception of immediate family who are part of the wedding party. Thank you so much for understanding!
We are not doing a traditional bridal party and are keeping the "party" to family only. If we included all of the friends we love, half the wedding would be walking us down the aisle! We want everyone making the trip to Ravello to relax, enjoy their vacation and simply celebrate alongside us.

We completely understand!! We know traveling to Italy is a big commitment, and while we would absolutely love to celebrate with you, we understand that making the trip may not be possible for everyone. Please know there is truly no pressure -- we are so grateful to have you in our lives & will be thinking of you from Ravello. XO
We know getting to the mountains of the Amalfi Coast takes a little planning! Head to our TRAVEL tab for airport recs, private transfer information and everything you need to make your trip to Ravello easiest. Safe travels!!
We actually don't recommend it!! Ravello is almost entirely explored on foot, and once you arrive, you really won't need a car. Driving and parking along the Amalfi Coast can also be an adventure on its own. For more info regarding private car transfers to and from Ravello, please head to the Travel tab.
Late May in Ravello is typically beautiful, with warm comfortable days in the mid 70s and cooler evenings in the 60s. We recommend bringing a light layer for the evening to have as an option.
