Join us for a laid-back evening at Big Grove Brewery, one of the bride and groom’s favorite spots—and a longtime favorite hangout for many of our friends and family in Iowa City. Come say hello, grab a drink, and mingle with the couple, their families, and fellow guests in this fun, local gem. Attire is casual.

Ceremony + Reception

4:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Garden Party

We would love for our guests to dress in “garden party” attire, which is a step above casual but not as formal as black tie. Think polished, comfortable, and appropriate for an outdoor setting. For men, this could look like lightweight dress pants or chinos paired with a button-down shirt or polo. A sport coat or blazer is a great addition but not required. Lighter colors and breathable fabrics like linen or cotton work especially well for the setting and season. Loafers or dress shoes are perfect, and ties are optional. Overall, aim for a neat, put-together look that feels relaxed yet refined. For women, think light, flowy, colorful dresses. Midi or full length dresses are great options, along with dressy sandals, heels, or flats that are comfortable for walking on grass. Accessories can be simple and elegant, and a light wrap or shawl is a nice addition for the evening. For more details and examples, please see the FAQ.
