Question
ATTIRE: WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
Answer
For that Dolce Vita, James Bond style we are having a formal affair. Wear floor-length gowns or formal cocktail dresses, suits. Wear shoes appropriate for grass, gravel, and that tricky Italian cobblestone. It can get cool at night in Lake Como, so bring a shawl or a sweater in case you need to cover up. Be prepared for the possibility of rain. Refer to the SCHEDULE tab for the dress code for the other official wedding week events.
Question
