Any important things to know?Any important things to know?
Answer
Salida is 7,082ft above sea level. For our friends and family travelling from lower altitudes (especially those flying), we would recommend taking some extra precautions to avoid feeling ill. Lots of water, rest, and acclimating to Denver prior from driving down to Salida can help. We apologize in advance for any inconveniences, and are crossing our fingers that everyone feels well.
Question
What is the dress code?What is the dress code?
Answer
For the dress code, we want everyone to look and feel their best! For women, we are hoping to see longer more semi-formal dresses, (midi to maxi length) with block heels or a nice shoe/boot. (we will be in grass, so please beware of wearing any heel with a point or stiletto) For men, we'd love to see dress pants and a collared shirt, option to wear a suit jacket and a tie as well! But please, no jeans! In terms of color, wear whatever you'd like! But, if you are wanting a more clear direction on which colors to lean more towards, our wedding's theme will be full of rich tones, wine reds, dark purples, light pinks, fresh greens, and dark browns that play into the scenic atmosphere of the Ranch in the Rockies.
