FAQs

How to Survive in the Wild West
Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Welcome Party: Denim and Blazers...Western flare highly encouraged! (Cowboy hat, boots, bolo ties, are all welcome along with sport coat or blazer for men and casual dresses for women). Wedding: Cocktail Attire - Suits for men, long dresses encouraged for women along with closed toed boots. Please no denim. Light sweaters or jackets are also a good idea in the desert. It is a rugged landscape. For the wedding and all events, we recommend close toed shoes, boots etc. There are a lot of prickly things out west, so its best to cover the toes!
