1. What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

We hope our wedding will be a fun excuse to wear your favorite black-tie/formal attire! For women, a full-length silhouette. For men, a tux isn't required but welcomed, but please do include a tie and a suit jacket.

· Are there any colors you would prefer me not to wear?

Our bridesmaids will be in lilac, and our groomsmen will be in charcoal, and I will be in white 😊 If possible, please avoid these color schemes

2. What will the weather be like this time of year?

Temperatures tend to dip a bit at night, and since the event will be outside you might want to bring a jacket or wrap. However there will also be heaters to help keep all of our guests warm.

22. Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Yes, we encourage guests to post pictures on to their social media channels of their vacation time in MT, and of course any photos taken during the cocktail hour and reception. We do request a NO PHOTO ceremony, outside of our fantastic photographer Kelly Kirksey and her second shoots. If you do post photos to your social media, we ask that you please tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #VivaLaVargas so we can keep track of all of your pictures! We will have a SnapChat filter at the venue, too!
