"Black Tie Attire"means formal tuxedos for the
men and long evening gowns for the women. I renewed my wedding vows with
my husband 10 years ago in the chapel of the Heidelberg Castle in Heidelberg,
Germany. The young couple who got married right before us had their
wedding party in formal equestrian
attire. Both groomsmen and bridesmaids were
wearing black shadbelly coats, white breeches, black riding boots,
and black top hats. The men carried black riding crops and the
women carried a long stem red rose. The bride wore a regular white
wedding gown, but the groom was in the same formal equestrian attire as the
groomsmen. It was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever
seen.
I have been invited to the Governor's
Inauguration and Celebration, so noted "Black Tie Attire. I want to
go, but I want to go in "Equestrian Black Tie Attire"......What exactly does
(Equestrian) "Black Tie Attire" look like?
