FAQs

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

Our dress code is Western Chic/ Classy Cowboy: think elevated Western with a polished twist. Cowboy boots, hats, and Western details are welcome when paired with cocktail or semi-formal attire. Our celebration will be outdoors and may cool off as the sun sets, so we recommend bringing a stylish jacket, shawl, or coat. Boots and block heels are encouraged for the terrain. To honor tradition, we kindly ask that guests please avoid wearing white or ivory attire.

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will take place outdoors. Please plan accordingly for grass and cooler evening temperatures. Some outdoor heaters will be provided.

What should I wear to the Welcome Reception?
