Thank you so much for the beautiful oak serving board! We can’t wait to use it during the many dinner parties you’ll be invited to this winter. Looking forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!

For a kitchen gift you received before your wedding

How did you know we were dreaming of those crystal champagne flutes?! They’re by far the most beautiful glasses in our home and we’ve never felt fancier. You’ll have to come over soon so we can toast to you! So excited to see you in June.

For drinkware you received before your wedding

We had a blast dancing the night away with you at our wedding. We also can’t thank you enough for the espresso maker. Our mornings have never been brighter! We can’t wait to see you in Austin next month… all caffeinated up!

For a coffee gift you received after your wedding

Where have you been hiding those killer dance moves? Thank you so much for rocking out at our wedding. And we absolutely love our new cast iron skillet and cookbook! We’re already cooking up a storm. Hope to see you soon in New York!

For cookware you received after your wedding

Thank you so much for the beer-brewing kit! We hope to be sipping backyard IPAs with you in no time. We missed you at the wedding, but know you were there in spirit. Can’t wait to see you when we’re back from our honeymoon!

Sydney & Andrew

Here are a few of our favorite places in the metro to keep you entertained.

Wedding guests get free admission to the gardens the day of the wedding during business hours. See if you can find the spot where we were engaged. :)

Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden

This is one of our favorite ways to spend a Saturday morning with friends! Andrew always gets a breakfast sandwich, and Sydney gets egg rolls. 7:00am-Noon Saturday

Des Moines' Downtown Farmers’ Market

We're a sucker for a good cocktail, and Bellhop never disappoints. Its located near our wedding venue, and is a great place to stop for a refreshing drink.

Bellhop

We lived just a block away from the sculpture park.

Pappajohn Sculpture Park

Want some fun Des Moines or midwest gear? RAYGUN is always a treat to shop around for unique finds.

Raygun

We regularly attended trivia nights here with friends when we lived downtown.

Peace Tree Brewing Co. - Des Moines Branch

If you love cats as much as we do, stop by this cute neighborhood for some great shopping, resturants, and a latte here. This is where we adopted Daisy in January 2021.
