Question
What is an Après Ski theme?
Answer
For the dance floor after dinner, we'll be moving to après ski theme! Après ski originated in the 1950s and directly translates to 'after ski' – a term to describe any post-ski (or in this case, wedding) social activity. In the mountains, skiers head to local bars after a great day of skiing and enjoy an evening of drinks, music and mountain views. Après ski attire: think retro/vintage jackets, sweaters, beanies, bandanas, etc. easy to throw on over your western formal wear. Bring a pair of ski goggles, mittens, or sunglasses to complete the look.
