What does countryside chic mean for the day before pizza party?
Countryside chic is all about blending rustic charm with a touch of elegance. Think comfortable yet stylish outfits that you might wear to a vineyard. Linen is a perfect choice for this theme. Ladies and gents, consider wearing linen shirts, chino pants, or floral dresses for that effortless, breezy look. For more outfit inspiration, check out our Pinterest board linked in the question.
What are the specifics of formal attire for the wedding day?
Ladies: Embrace earthy, vibrant colors that capture the essence of southern Italy (but please, no red!). Gents: Tuxes are encouraged, but a sharp suit and tie will do the trick too. The ceremony and reception will take place on grass and gravel, so please choose your footwear accordingly. Bring a wrap for those breezy evenings, and don't forget to check the weather before you pack! For more outfit inspiration, check out our Pinterest board linked in the question.
Is swimwear necessary for the day after pool party?
Swimwear is not mandatory. You're more than welcome to join us for brunch and relax by the pool. The day after the wedding is all about rejuvenation, relaxation, and fun, so feel free to participate in whatever way makes you most comfortable.
Is it advisable to rent a car for my stay?
We highly recommend renting a car for your convenience. While we do offer shuttle services from three main hotels on the wedding day, having a car will make your stay more comfortable. If you choose to rent a car, please inquire with the rental company about ZTL zones to avoid fines. These areas restrict access to non-residents, and driving in them may result in penalties.
Do I need an international driving license to rent a car?
If you plan to rent a car, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP). For those traveling from the US, you can obtain an IDP through your local AAA office or apply online via the AAA website. For travelers from Asia, you most likely need to translate and notarize your foreign driver's license. Please double-check if any other steps are required.

Will the Jubilee Year celebration in Rome affect the wedding?
The Jubilee Year, also known as the Holy Year, is a significant event in the Catholic Church that occurs every 25 years. It involves a series of religious celebrations and attracts millions of pilgrims to Rome. Due to the increased number of visitors, we suggest you book accommodations, rent cars, and plan your travels early to avoid any inconvenience. However, since the wedding is in Umbria, once you leave Rome, you should not encounter any issues related to the Jubilee celebrations.
Do I need to obtain a visa to travel to Italy?
For US citizens: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months post-travel and have several empty pages. If you need to apply for a passport, or renew it, please do it sooner than later, as rush fee can be costly. For Chinese citizens: You must obtain a visa prior to arrival. Please consult the nearest Italian embassy or consulate for detailed visa application procedures.
