Kaisa & Andrea

The dress code is formal. October in Lecce is warm during the day (around 20°C) and mild in the evening, so a light layer or a jacket for later is a good idea. The day is long and there will be plenty of opportunities for dancing, so we recommend to wear comfortable shoes. Churches typically ask visitors to keep their shoulders and knees covered. However, the guidelines are flexible, for example, a skirt that falls slightly above the knee is generally acceptable. For outfit inspiration, you can browse the Instagram or YouTube channel of Atmosfera Blu, the company providing music for our wedding. Their videos often feature wedding guests too.

The church follows the traditional seating arrangement: the bride's guests sit on the left and the groom's guests on the right.

Both the church and the venue have on-street parking nearby, so we recommend allowing a little extra time to find a spot. The church in Campi Salentina is in the pedestrian centre, easily reached on foot from the surrounding streets. Blue parking lines indicate paid parking, white lines mean free. Easypark works in Lecce, but in Campi you may need coins.

Italian weddings flow organically. Timings are a guide rather than a strict plan.

On arrival you will be welcomed with drinks, followed by a wide range of 'antipasti' before moving to the dining area. You may not see us right away as we will be with the photographer. We will join the party during the welcome drinks or antipasti depending on the timing, and we will say a proper personal goodbye to each of you as you leave at the end of the evening. There is plenty of food and wine. One thing worth knowing: in Italy it is considered socially unacceptable to appear visibly drunk. We hope everyone will enjoy themselves and keep a celebratory spirit throughout.
