Answer 3

There are tuxedo rental places that have what you need. You do not have to wear a gown at 'black tie'. Just wear a beautiful dress with strap shoes, or if you like, you can wear a black tailored suit with black boots. Of course, you don't have to dress in black. You can even wear white, which may be a lot cooler than black, but 70 degree weather is not all that bad, but 80...yes. Your husband does have to wear black. Have lots of fun.

Remember: Even if it's a cowboy affair, black tie etiquette is just that...black tie. You can look it up on the internet and they will tell you exactly what is proper.

Answer 4

There is a western website that has black tie for western wear.
I was browsing the site the other day myself. You could get ideas from there. it's the Rod's .
Type in western wear

Answer 5

Make sure yer horsie's wearin' a tux, complete with bow tie (black), cummerbund around it's waist (if you can find one, but do horses have waists?) and shiny black shoes! A really good farrier can probably do it. (Gloves might get a little dusty!)

Have fun!
