Things to Do

Wedding Day Attire 

Bring on the formal mountain flair! From bolo ties to bow ties and bright colors or hats (it is Kentucky Derby Day, after all!) expressive styles are welcome. Think elegant with a mountain touch. Guests are encouraged to wear formal attire suited for an outdoor setting. Choose comfortable, sturdy footwear (block heels, wedges, or boots) for walking on grass on farm. Feel free to embrace a “mountain chic” or "rustic elegant" style with soft fabrics, natural textures, and subtle rustic details. Not sure about the hat? No worries! <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_cackling_crow_/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cackling Crow</a> will be present at the wedding with custom hats for purchase.
