We’d love for our guests to wear cocktail attire to help us celebrate! Ladies, feel free to wear a cocktail dress or a dressy outfit in bright, summery colors. Gentlemen, a suit or dress pants and a button-down shirt would be perfect. We can’t wait to see everyone dressed up and ready to celebrate! (If you need ideas, I've put together a section labeled "What to Wear"
We recommend arriving 30 minutes before the ceremony begins to ensure you have plenty of time to get settled and find your seat before the processional starts. The Ceremony will begin at 3:30 at Hope WDM Chapel, so arriving at 3:00pm should give you plenty of time!
We would love to host everyone, but to ensure we can comfortably accommodate all of our guests within our venue's capacity, we can only provide for those specifically noted on your digital RSVP. If a plus-one has been included for you, it will be clearly listed when you go to RSVP. Thank you so much for your understanding as we finalize our guest list!
While we love the young ones, we’ve decided to make this celebration an adults-only event in order to create a relaxing and enjoyable evening for all our guests. We hope you’ll take this opportunity for a fun-filled night out!
You will be dearly missed!! If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "not attending" so we can plan accordingly. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!!
Both our ceremony and reception will be held indoors, so you’ll be cozy and comfortable throughout the evening. We also have a beautiful patio available for those who’d like to step outside and enjoy the view!
I'm not too sure actually, am I am just as curious as you! Our parents were the lovely taste testers for us and they were pleased with the selections from Lidderdale Catering.
Des Moines will be get quite busy in August do to the Iowa State Fair, so we recommend booking your accommodations sooner rather than later to ensure the best rates and availability. We’d love to have everyone staying close by, so check out the "Hotel Information" tab to see where we'll be staying!
