FAQs

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

Our wedding will be set among the breathtaking ruins of Santa Clara in Antigua — a setting that is both timeless and romantic. The dress code is elegant summer: For ladies: long dresses in flowing, breathable fabrics. Think refined and graceful — colors inspired by nature, soft or bold, are all welcome. For gentlemen: suits and you can use fabrics that complement the season. Ties are optional, but elegance is encouraged. We want you to feel part of a scene that is beautiful and celebratory, like a living painting.

Question

Any colors to avoid?

Answer

We want you to shine in your own style, so we suggest wearing a long dress in colorful tones, floral prints, or summery patterns. Note: We only ask that you avoid very light colors such as white, ivory, pastel colors or similar shades, so that on this special day the bride’s gown can shine even brighter.

Question

Are there any shoe recommendations?

Answer

Antigua’s cobblestone streets add to its charm but can be tricky in stilettos. We suggest wedges, block heels, or elegant flats for women. Gentlemen, classic dress shoes will be perfect.

Question

Practical Tips

Answer

Sunscreen and sunglasses are must-haves for daytime. Evenings are cooler — pack a light sweater or jacket. Cobblestones = bring a pair of comfortable walking shoes for exploring. Local currency is the Guatemalan Quetzal, but many places also take cards.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

We love your little ones, but our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope you enjoy this evening as a night out to relax, celebrate, and dance with us.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

No. We kindly ask that only those listed on your invitation attend. Thank you for understanding — we can’t wait to celebrate with each of you who are invited.

Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony and reception will take place outdoors, in the open-air ruins of Santa Clara. The afternoon sun will give way to a cooler evening, so bring a light shawl or jacket. Sunglasses during the day are also recommended — both for comfort and for photos you’ll want to keep forever.
