Feel free to lean into being in Aspen in the fall and add some flair to your look - a silk pocket square, a hat you picked up from Kemo Sabe, or nice cowboy boots. Otherwise, it's the same as formal wedding attire! Peter will be in a suit, Colleen's wearing a white dress... you know the drill.
September in Aspen averages in the 60s - the mornings can be cooler in the 40s, then temps warm up as the sun comes up. We recommend a light jacket for exploring the town. Ladies should consider packing a light wrap for the ceremony. There can be the occasional rain shower - but not to worry. As the saying goes, if you don't like the weather in Colorado, just wait 15 minutes!
That would be the one and only, Cheri Paxton!
