The dress code for our wedding is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Ladies, feel free to wear a floor-length dress or cocktail dress. Gentlemen, lets wear a suit and tie or sports coat.
After the ceremony, downtown Des Moines, there will be an hour or so before cocktail hour begins in the Country Lane Lodge. Please feel free to stop back at your hotel rooms to freshen up, grab some dance floor shoes, and get ready to party! Don't forget to check out the Botanical Garden or Peace Tree Brewing Company before you head to Adel -- those are just a few of our favorite spots!
