Dress code & Weather

What should I wear?

The dress code is black tie preferred, with a Texas twist! We're going for elegant with a touch of Hill Country charm. Feel free to incorporate your favorite boots or hats, but please no jeans or casual shirts. Think western chic or western formal—elevated and refined with a little Texas flair. Men should wear tuxedos or dark suits, and women should opt for long dresses. Our wedding colors are black and white, so feel free to coordinate with the palette if you’d like—but it's not required.

Can men wear jeans?

Our dress code is black tie preferred, men should NOT wear jeans. Men should wear a tuxedo or a dark suit with slacks and a dress shirt. Cowboy boots and hats are welcome—just pair them with sharp, dressed-up attire!

What’s the weather like in February?

It’s Texas, so it can be unpredictable! February usually brings mild temperatures—anywhere from the 60s to low 70s during the day, and cooler evenings in the 40s or 50s. While we’re hoping for beautiful weather, it’s not impossible for things to take a chilly turn. The ceremony and reception will both be indoors, so you’ll stay comfortable no matter what—but we still recommend bringing a jacket or wrap for walking between spaces or taking photos outside.

Can I bring a guest or kids?
