Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Our dress code is a mix of cocktail, garden party, and a touch of Texas flair. This is your chance to break out the Stetsons, embrace florals, and use our wedding as your runway. We want our guests to feel polished yet comfortable, so here’s what we suggest: + Feel free to wear a cocktail dress, a flowy garden party dress, or something semi-formal. You can opt for lighter fabrics and playful prints for a garden party vibe, or go for a more elegant look with cocktail attire. + A suit or blazer with dress pants is perfect. A tie is optional but encouraged for a more formal look. You can go for lighter colors or fabrics for a garden party feel, or keep it classic with a suit and tie for a cocktail or semi-formal style. + Feel free to add Texan touches like boots, a bolo tie, or a western-inspired jacket. Whether you lean into the elegance of cocktail, the relaxed vibe of garden party, or add a Texas twist, we encourage you to have fun with your outfit. Since part of the celebration will be outdoors, keep the Texas weather in mind.
