Question

What is the Dress Code?

Answer

We'd love to have our loved ones get dressed up for our big day. Dress code is formal attire. Gentlemen, being that we live in Texas you are welcome to wear "Texas Formal" incorporating Western elements like dress boots, cowboy hats, or bolo ties with a suit, or a blazer with dress pants or dark jeans. Ladies can wear floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dresses. Please take into consideration while planning coats/cover that weather in March and in Texas can be unpredictable and can range drastically. Some of the nights events, including dancing, might be held outside if the weather is nice, but for the most part, activities will be held indoors. Please no work jeans, t-shirts, or shorts.
