What to wear
Reception and Rehearsal Dress code: Cocktail, but please feel free to dress up!
Florals, velvets, silks, and springy jewel tones are encouraged.
For the reception, be prepared for spring in Montana! The weather will likely be warm in the afternoon (high 70s, low 80s), but will likely cool down to the 50s in the evening. We suggest bringing a light jacket or sweater. There will also be plenty of room at the venue to store bags and other items you’d like to have with you during the day.
The ceremony will be held on the lawn and we hope that the majority of the day will be spent outside enjoying the sunshine, weather permitting.
If you’re unsure of what to wear or bring, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
All other events apart from the Reception and Rehearsal are casual!
