Wedding Expectations

Attire & Color Palette

Style is something both Noelani and Christina care deeply about, and they would be overjoyed to see their guests fully embrace the dress code. It would be absolutely delightful to see everyone looking their best, adding even more magic to their beautiful wedding weekend. See below for further details and inspiration.

Wedding & Reception

A Timeless Fall Evening in Tuscany; Formal & Statement

Embrace the refined elegance of Tuscany with luminous fabrics such as silk, chiffon, and other soft, flowing textures. For those inclined to make a statement, consider joyful prints, romantic ruffles, or subtle touches of shimmer—perfect for an ensemble that moves gracefully from day to evening. Traditional cultural wear, mid- to floor-length dresses, tailored suits, and polished sets are all warmly welcomed. Opt for elevated materials like cotton, silk or silk-like blends, and fine wools for a timeless look.

We encourage you to accessorize thoughtfully and incorporate vibrant colors—this is a celebration, after all.

To honor the setting and occasion, we kindly ask that guests dress within our color palette or choose shades that complement it. We also request that guests refrain from wearing white, ivory, cream, beige, or black.

Rehearsal Dinner

Chic & Fabulous; All Black Cocktail Attire

For our rehearsal dinner, we envision an evening rooted in connection, and understated elegance. As we gather to share a beautiful meal and heartfelt toasts under the Tuscan sky, we invite you to dress in a way that reflects the spirit of the evening—refined yet relaxed, timeless yet personal.

Traditional cultural wear, dresses, suits or sets are all welcomed.

To bring a sense of cohesion and poise to the night, we kindly ask all guests to wear all black attire. We can’t wait to celebrate this special moment with you.

Welcome Dinner

Relaxed & Refined; Semi-Formal Attire

Join us for a cozy, welcoming evening to kick off the wedding weekend! The vibe is cozy-classy, perfect for gathering outside with delicious food, flowing wine, and the best company.

While there’s no need for formalwear, we do ask that guests skip jeans to keep the evening feeling a bit more special.

Partial suits, cozy sets, and smart-casual separates are all perfect for the occasion.

This is your chance to dress in pieces that feel polished yet comfortable—just right for toasting, mingling, and soaking in the Tuscan night.

Arrival to the villa

We expect that all guests will have arrived no later than Thursday, October 1st by 4pm local time. But we highly suggest arriving Wednesday, September 30th, to allow yourself time to get settled in before festivities begin for the weekend.

Phones & Photos Policy During the Ceremony

We’re so excited to share this moment with you and want everyone fully present for the ceremony. You’ll have one designated opportunity to snap a photo—our officiant will let you know exactly when. After that, we kindly ask that all phones and cameras be put away until the ceremony ends. We promise there will be plenty of time (and beautiful lighting!) for photos afterward.

Particpation and Vibes

We’re bringing the energy all weekend long—and we hope you will too! From the welcome night to the last dance, come ready to celebrate, connect, and make memories. Bring your best dancing shoes, toast-raising skills, and party spirit. Your joy and presence are what will make this weekend unforgettable. Let’s make it a celebration for the books!

+1s

We kindly ask that you honor our guest list as it appears on your invitation. Due to the intimate nature of our celebration, we are only able to accommodate those listed—thank you for understanding!

Children at the wedding?

We love your little ones, but we're keeping things adults-only for the weekend—it's our chance to enjoy a little getaway with all of you! Thanks for understanding and being part of our special celebration!

Timeliness

We kindly ask that guests plan ahead and arrive on time for each event throughout the weekend. Your presence and punctuality mean so much to us, and we want everyone to fully enjoy each moment we’ve thoughtfully planned. Thank you for helping everything flow smoothly!
