"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?
