Many of our friends and family live abroad, so we will be sending Save-the-Dates and Invitations via email to make sure our international loved ones receive theirs on time. Family and friends can RSVP here on our website.
We love your kids - we really do! But we want our wedding to be your night off. The festivities and matrimonial merriment will last long past your kiddos bedtime, so we're recommending parents make other arrangements for their children (though we totally understand if you want to bring your little party animals).
Yes! We only ask you give us 6 to 8 weeks notice so we can make arrangements with our vendors.
Cocktail Attire. This slightly less formal than black tie optional. For the gentlemen, that means a suit or slacks and a button-down shirt; for the ladies, a cocktail dress or jumpsuit. But first and foremost, wear something comfortable! There are several gardens to explore and there will be dancing later in the evening.
Seth and I are registered at Zola.com (which you can access on our wedding website), Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Amazon, and Target. If you need a suggestion for a gift, we need king-size sheets (can be found on all registries) and would love a pair of matching bookshelves for Seth's office (can be found on Zola registry), but we would also love cash to put towards our honeymoon.
Since many of our friends and family do not indulge in fine wine or spirits, we will not be serving alcohol at our reception. The Botanical Garden of the Ozarks does not allow alcohol on the premises, unless it is being served by a preferred licensed vendor.
Yes! Family and friends can arrive at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks beginning at 5:00 pm the day of the wedding. We will have private access to all of the gardens, including the butterfly room. We encourage our family and friends to take advantage of this beautiful venue.
