Wedding wear s/o...how would you interpret this?

We are going to a wedding in North Carolina the last weekend in October.  The attire is:  "Mountain Casual."  What in the world does that mean?  I have also learned that this wedding is at a lodge, and there will be a Southern Style Barbeque for the reception...complete with a bonfire and s'mores bar.  Totally sounds like fun for this outdoorsy couple...but, what am I supposed to wear?

Re: Wedding wear s/o...how would you interpret this?

  • Hmmm..that's a tough one.  It's a wedding so I'd still err on the side of being kinda dressy.  Maybe just a cute fairly casual sundress?

  • I'm sure they don't mean what just entered my head when I read that.  Overalls, no shoes, and plaid. Stick out tongue  I really don't know what that means. 
     
  • At least it isn't mountain formal, cause then I would really be confused! I would think that something you would be comfortable in outdoors in.  I wouldn't go dressier than a sundress.  But I would imagine you will get a lot of people in jeans and shorts too! And like always, when in doubt, don't be afraid to ask. They were the crazies to make this unusual attire request. So I am sure you are not the only guests with questions about what that really means!
  • Something you would be comfortable wearing outside.  I wouldn't do anything formal or black.  Sundress or pretty fall shade dress bc the leaves should be changing.  For DH, I'd khakis and nice polo.

  • The immediate picture I got in my mind was a sundress with cowboy boots, kind of like this...

    I don't love this outfit, but this is the general look that came to mind. 

  • I would go with a nice fall day dress with a boot and tights. Since it is at the end of October, I don't think I would go with a sundress. While the weather is nicer in NC it is still fall.

    For your husband, I would do a nice khaki in either navy or tan with a nice plaid or striped button-down shirt.

  • Thanks ladies!  I'm probably going to steer clear of the sundress because it is going to be chilly at night I'm sure...and if it's outside, I'm not sure I want to be caught without layers to get me through day to evening.  I've got some really cute ideas for the boys and the hubby...but man oh man...I'm going to have real trouble with this one.  I have to go shopping.  Thanks for posting the pics...that definitely helps...but, it makes me realize I have n.o.t.h.i.n.g. updated that fits the bill.  And the definition of mountain casual made me laugh.

    As an aside...I wonder what the bride and groom are wearing.  Hmmmmmmmm

  • I would wait until the end August, beginning September.  Look at Lands End, they usually have a lot of nice options for reasonable and they always have a sale or discount code. I love the fact I can order it, try it on at home, then return to Sears.

    Last fall they had some nice modal knits that would work perfect for this occassion. Similar to this, this, or this

  • Hiking boots, jeans, a tank with a button down over it and a sun hat...maybe a walking stick?

    I'll admit I haven't a clue.

  • I totally skipped over the fact that htis was going to be in October.  Definitely do not go with a sundress.

  • I like the outfits Kris posted -- particularly the 1st. I think layers are perfect for that, since it sounds like an indoor/outdoor event and you never know what the weather will do in Oct.

    Mandy took the thoughts right out of my head!

  • I think you need a plaid flannel shirt dress and some fun boots with tights.
