Question

What is the Dress Code?

Answer

Mountain Cocktail Attire - A perfect balance between dressy and adventurous. A blend of elegant and rustic, incorporating elevated textures such as velvet, fur, lace, suede, wool, or tweed and natural-inspired elements while remaining dressy. Ladies might choose a midi or floor-length dress, or elevated separates complemented by a jacket or shawl and dressy boots, wedges, or block heels, (stilettos are not recommended due to the uneven terrain) . Men can experiment with suit colors and styles that echo the mountain palette, consider a blazer with dress pants or chinos with dress shoes or stylish boots. Be prepared for temperature changes with a jacket or wrap. We kindly request that guests do not wear white. Inspo: https://pin.it/5XR63ZQdg
