Black Tie Optional Attire For our wedding at Mountain Shadows, we invite guests to dress in black tie optional attire to complement the setting and occasion. Men: A tuxedo is welcomed but not required. A dark, well-tailored suit with a dress shirt and tie is perfectly appropriate. Please err on the side of formal and wear a tie! Women: A floor-length gown, or elegant midi dress is ideal. Dress to impress. Mountain Shadow's beautiful desert landscape and candlelit ambiance make for a stunning backdrop, so dress to impress while keeping comfort in mind!
