The Western Wedding Essentials: Your Outfit Guide for Attending Summer Western Weddings

Wedding season is here, y’all—and if your calendar’s full of invites and you’re still wondering what to wear to a Western wedding, we’ve got you covered (boots and all). Whether the dress code says black tie or casual, we’ve pulled together inspiration for every kind of summer Western celebration.

 


First Things First: The One Rule

No matter the wedding, here’s one non-negotiable—don’t wear white (save that for the bride). With that out of the way, let’s explore what works for each type of dress code.

Black Tie Attire

Clothing:
Black tie is all about structure and sophistication. For the ladies, floor-length or maxi dresses pair beautifully with shawls or elevated dusters—this collection has just the thing. Gentlemen, opt for a formal suit: jacket, vest, dress shirt, and dress pants.

Accessories:
Dress it up with statement or subtle sparkle from LW Ranch’s accessory line. Gentlemen, if ties aren’t your thing, a refined bolo tie is a great option. And don’t forget your best belt with a polished buckle—it always pulls the look together.

Footwear:
Looking for an excuse to grab a new pair of boots? This is it. Think embroidery, florals, exotics—shop the elevated boot collection to find your perfect fit.

 


Casual Attire

Clothing:
For a relaxed Western wedding, aim for polished ease. Ladies—try a sundress, skirt and blouse combo, or tailored pants with a simple top. Gentlemen—clean jeans or dress pants paired with a snap shirt or collared short sleeve will do just fine. A blazer? Optional.

Accessories:
Keep it simple. Subtle sparkle or a fun belt is more than enough. Gentlemen—no pressure to accessorize too much here.

Footwear:
No need to buy new, just make sure your boots are clean and polished. A solid pair of well-loved boots is right at home here.

 


Semi-Formal / Cocktail Attire

Clothing:
This in-between dress code gives you lots of room to play. Shorter dresses, midis, flowy skirts, and pretty prints are all fair game. LW Ranch’s dress selection hits the mark for this category.

Accessories:
Go minimal or go bold—this dress code gives you that freedom. Statement silver, delicate gold, or a combination of both. Gentlemen—break out the bolo and your best belt buckle.

Footwear:
Boots again! Whether they’re new, vintage, embroidered, or blinged out—your boots are what make it Western.

 


Don’t Forget Your Hat

It wouldn’t be a Western wedding without a hat. Straw is perfect for summer, but if it’s a black tie affair, reach for a felt one. Hat bands are a fun way to add personality—go simple, go sparkly, or go custom.

From backyard vows to big ranch parties, we hope this guide helps you feel confident and Western wedding-ready. No matter the dress code, remember—it’s about celebrating love and living your own West.

Happy wedding season!
