🌾 THE VIBEThis ain’t no dainty tea party — it’s a weekend full of belly laughs, saucy sliders, whiskey toasts, late-night two-steps, deep chats on the porch, and women showing up as their full, flavorful selves. Think: firepit warmth, soulful food, sweet country soundtracks, and that Southern “make yourself at home” kind of love.

🐎 DRESS CODE“Denim & Diamonds Meets Southern Belle Realness”
Cowgirl boots, worn-in denim, leather fringe, statement earrings, bold lips, silky bandanas, flannel tied around the waist, or even a little sparkle with your sass. Comfort meets cowgirl cool.
