Seamless underwear Smooth, simple underwear works best under most dress silhouettes and fabrics. Shapewear (optional) Only bring shapewear if you plan to wear it on your wedding day — it’s not required. Wedding shoes or a similar heel height Your actual shoes are ideal, but a comparable heel height helps visualize proportions. Inspiration images Saved photos or Pinterest boards give your stylist insight into your aesthetic and preferences. A small, trusted support group One to three people who know your style and will support your decisions. Your budget range Being upfront allows your stylist to pull gowns that align with what you’re comfortable spending. Hair clip or tie Pulling your hair back can help you picture different necklines and dress styles. Light or minimal makeup Keeps gowns clean and helps you focus on the dress rather than full glam. An open mindset Many brides fall in love with a gown they never expected to choose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/99a2d550-8527-4dd8-9c9e-85f6210c980b/eastern-iowa-wedding-dress-shops+%283%29.jpg Blog - Best Bridal Dress Shops in Cedar Rapids & Iowa City - Embody Bridal, Cedar Rapids Shop Open Times: Monday – Tuesday: 12:00 PM – 7:00 PM Wednesday: Closed Thursday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Saturday – Sunday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM Appointments are required to ensure each bride receives Embody Bridal’s full, personalized experience.

It symbolizes two individuals coming together to create one shared life and marriage. Because of its simplicity and powerful visual meaning, the unity candle ceremony has remained a popular choice for decades. During a unity candle ceremony, each partner typically lights a taper candle, then together use those flames to light a larger central candle. This act represents two separate lives joining into one union. In some ceremonies, parents or loved ones light the taper candles at the beginning, symbolizing the families that raised and supported each partner before the marriage. Unity candle ceremonies work especially well for indoor weddings, where wind and weather aren’t a concern. They fit seamlessly into religious, spiritual, and non-denominational ceremonies and are easy for guests to understand without explanation. The symbolism is clear, timeless, and emotionally resonant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733245247184-B44OVVCVUUBH766WGKBB/Amanda+%26+Brett+35.jpg Blog - Modern Wedding Ceremony Unity Ideas - Sand Ceremony A sand ceremony is a popular wedding unity ritual that symbolizes two lives being joined into one. During the ceremony, each partner pours a different color of sand into a single vessel, creating a layered design that can never be separated — representing the permanence of marriage and the blending of two lives, families, or journeys. Sand ceremonies are especially popular for outdoor weddings, beach weddings, and destination weddings because they’re visually meaningful and not affected by wind in the same way as candles. They’re also highly customizable, allowing couples to choose colors that match their wedding palette or hold personal significance. One of the reasons couples love sand ceremonies is their inclusivity. Children or family members can easily be incorporated by having each person add their own sand to the vessel, making this unity ceremony a meaningful option for blended families or couples who want to honor loved ones during the ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/4c2d8292-53f4-46c4-93ed-2230fac7839a/ceremony_unity_ideas+%281%29.jpg Blog - Modern Wedding Ceremony Unity Ideas - Handfasting Ceremony A handfasting ceremony is a meaningful wedding unity ritual rooted in ancient Celtic tradition. Historically, handfasting symbolized an engagement or marriage agreement, with the couple’s hands bound together to represent their commitment to one another. Today, it has evolved into a symbolic and customizable unity ceremony used in both spiritual and non-denominational weddings. During a handfasting ceremony, the couple joins hands while an officiant gently wraps ribbon, cord, or fabric around them. The binding represents the intertwining of two lives, promises, and futures. Some couples choose a single wrap, while others incorporate multiple cords or colors — each symbolizing values like love, trust, family, or strength. Handfasting ceremonies are popular because they are highly personal and flexible. The materials, colors, and wording can be customized to reflect the couple’s personalities, cultural heritage, or wedding aesthetic. This makes handfasting a great option for couples who want a unity ceremony that feels intentional without being overly formal or traditional. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/8fea8155-967b-462d-8b7b-ea249564c800/717UWJjrQ7L.jpg Blog - Modern Wedding Ceremony Unity Ideas - Braiding Ceremony A braiding ceremony is a meaningful wedding unity ritual that symbolizes two lives being woven together into one strong bond. During the ceremony, strands of cord, ribbon, or fabric are braided together by the couple — sometimes with the help of an officiant or loved ones — representing unity, strength, and interdependence. Each strand often carries its own meaning. Couples may choose different colors or materials to represent individual identities, shared values, family, faith, or the life they are building together. Once braided, the strands create a single cord that reflects how two separate lives remain distinct while becoming stronger together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/59425dbb-9793-4132-9e3c-877099f79856/Unique_ceremony_unity_ideas+%282%29.jpg Blog - Modern Wedding Ceremony Unity Ideas - Foot Washing Ceremony A foot washing ceremony is a deeply symbolic wedding unity ritual rooted in humility, service, and unconditional love. Traditionally associated with religious or spiritual ceremonies, foot washing represents the couple’s commitment to serve one another with compassion, respect, and selflessness throughout their marriage. During the ceremony, one partner gently washes the other’s feet — sometimes reciprocated — symbolizing a willingness to care for one another in both joyful and challenging moments. Rather than being about hierarchy, the act reflects mutual devotion, humility, and the promise to support one another fully in marriage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/5af79747-e3c4-427e-b854-ffd9bac473a1/Unique_ceremony_unity_ideas+%281%29.webp Blog - Modern Wedding Ceremony Unity Ideas - Handwashing Ceremony A handwashing ceremony is a meaningful wedding unity ritual that symbolizes purity, renewal, and the intention to enter marriage with open hearts and clean hands. During the ceremony, the couple pours water over one another’s hands — either together or one at a time — representing the washing away of past burdens and the commitment to begin their marriage with honesty, grace, and mutual respect. Handwashing ceremonies are often chosen by couples who want a unity ritual that feels symbolic yet understated. Unlike more elaborate unity ceremonies, handwashing is quiet, reflective, and visually simple, making it well-suited for intimate weddings or ceremonies that prioritize mindfulness and intention. It can be religious, spiritual, or completely secular depending on the wording used by the officiant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1750788159909-U724HIMJX4UAPK1JHHGP/rolling-meadows-wedding-ceremony+%284%29.jpg Blog - Modern Wedding Ceremony Unity Ideas - Tree Planting Ceremony Unity A tree planting ceremony is a modern wedding unity idea that symbolizes growth, stability, and the shared future a couple is building together. During the ceremony, the couple plants a tree or adds soil or water together, representing the roots they’re putting down as they begin married life. This unity ceremony is especially popular with couples who love nature, value sustainability, or want a meaningful ritual that lasts beyond the wedding day. As the tree grows, it becomes a living reminder of the commitment made during the ceremony. Tree planting ceremonies work best for outdoor weddings or venues that allow planting on-site. If planting at the venue isn’t an option, couples can plant the tree in a container during the ceremony and replant it at home later. When planned thoughtfully, this unity idea adds a beautiful, intentional moment to the ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/e3353792-938a-4876-81fe-8d046308a379/ceremony_unity_ideas+%283%29.jpg Blog - Modern Wedding Ceremony Unity Ideas - Time Capsule Unity A time capsule unity ceremony is a modern and deeply personal way to symbolize the beginning of your marriage. During the ceremony, couples place meaningful items — such as handwritten letters to each other, photos, or small keepsakes — into a container that is sealed and saved to be opened on a future anniversary. This unity ceremony is especially meaningful for couples who value reflection and storytelling. Rather than focusing on a visual ritual, a time capsule captures emotions, promises, and memories from the wedding day, allowing you to revisit them years later. Many couples choose to open their time capsule on a milestone anniversary, creating a meaningful tradition beyond the wedding day itself. From a planning perspective, time capsule ceremonies are simple and flexible. They work well for indoor or outdoor weddings and can be customized to include children, family members, or even notes from loved ones. When thoughtfully explained by the officiant, a time capsule unity ceremony becomes a heartfelt moment that connects your wedding day to your future together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/fcf9502c-4e09-47dd-864e-6d2048f57226/ceremony_unity_ideas+%282%29.jpg Blog - Modern Wedding Ceremony Unity Ideas - Branding Ceremony A branding ceremony is a bold and highly symbolic unity ritual that represents permanence, commitment, and shared identity. Rooted in historical and cultural traditions, branding ceremonies have been reimagined by modern couples as a deeply intentional way to mark the joining of two lives. During a wedding branding ceremony, couples typically use a custom brand or symbol that represents their union. This can be done in a variety of ways — from branding a piece of wood, leather, or another meaningful object, to using a heated or engraved symbol on an item that will be kept as a keepsake. The focus is not on pain or shock value, but on symbolism, intention, and permanence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/89a23824-41b9-406a-b3cd-aa0e67066285/Unique_ceremony_unity_ideas+%282%29.webp Blog - Modern Wedding Ceremony Unity Ideas - Ring Warming Ceremony A ring warming ceremony is a heartfelt wedding unity ritual that invites guests to take part in the couple’s commitment. During the ceremony, the wedding rings are passed among guests, who silently offer well-wishes, prayers, or positive intentions before the rings are exchanged. This unity ceremony is especially meaningful for couples who value community, connection, and inclusion. Rather than focusing on a physical ritual between just the two partners, a ring warming ceremony acknowledges the role loved ones play in supporting the marriage. By the time the rings return to the couple, they symbolically carry the love and encouragement of everyone present. https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/20-best-rehearsal-dinner-locations-in-des-moines monthly 0.5 2026-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/9d661dfa-1eec-4655-83d3-6fb49d17b0d8/Salisbury_House_Wedding_Reception+%2822%29.jpg Blog - 20+ Best Rehearsal Dinner Locations in Des Moines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/95ea2a46-7324-428e-a7ac-45d1750da506/des_moines_rehearsal_dinner_locations+%282%29.webp Blog - 20+ Best Rehearsal Dinner Locations in Des Moines - Big Grove Brewery, Des Moines Style: Casual-Modern, Social, Lively Rental Pricing: Contact venue directly for rehearsal dinner or private event pricing Capacity: 40 - 250 Guests The Crescent Room Located inside the historic Crescent Dealership building, The Crescent Room blends original architectural character with modern design elements for a space that feels both nostalgic and elevated.

Beyond being “fun,” a photo booth creates connection, energy, and meaningful moments that guests genuinely enjoy throughout the night. Photo booths: Break the ice between guests who don’t know each other Give guests something fun to do during downtime Keep energy high without overwhelming the wedding day timeline Create shared moments, inside jokes, and spontaneous laughter Offer entertainment for guests who don’t love dancing Encourage guests to interact across friend groups and families Give guests a reason to move around and explore the space Provide instant keepsakes guests can take home or share digitally Instead of guests standing around waiting for the next moment, they’re actively engaged — laughing, posing, and creating memories together. Photo booths also help fill natural lulls during the reception, ensuring there’s always something happening without pulling attention away from key moments like speeches, first dances, or cake cutting. From a planning perspective, photo booths are one of the easiest ways to elevate the wedding guest experience while maintaining a smooth flow. They run continuously, require minimal coordination once set up, and seamlessly enhance the celebration without adding pressure to the couple or the timeline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/9709a8c8-cde9-4fe1-94c2-c990f49709e8/iowa_photo_booth+%282%29.jpg Blog - Why a Photo Booth Is a Must-Have at Your Wedding - Photo Booths as Wedding Favors (A Double Win) One of the biggest benefits of having a photo booth at your wedding is that it can double as your wedding favor. Instead of spending money on favors that may get left behind, a photo booth gives guests something personal, interactive, and meaningful to take home — or share digitally — long after the wedding day. Photo booth photos act as instant keepsakes. Guests leave with real memories of the night, whether that’s a group photo with friends, a silly pose with family, or a candid moment they wouldn’t otherwise have captured. With custom overlays featuring your names and wedding date, those photos become personalized reminders of your celebration rather than generic favors. From a planning perspective, using a wedding photo booth as a favor also simplifies logistics. There’s no need to display, package, or distribute favors — guests naturally participate on their own throughout the evening. Digital galleries and instant sharing options make it easy for guests to access their photos without carrying anything extra, while still feeling like they received something special. For couples focused on guest experience, this is truly a double win: guests are entertained during the wedding and leave with a keepsake they’ll actually use. A photo booth combines fun, interaction, and practicality in a way few traditional wedding favors can — making it one of the most impactful additions to your wedding day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/9caaf2c5-5aa9-498f-85aa-8b5f8dea5a8e/iowa_photo_booth+%286%29.jpg Blog - Why a Photo Booth Is a Must-Have at Your Wedding - Why Digital Photo Booth Photos Are in Higher Demand Than Photo Strips While traditional photo strip prints were once the standard, digital photo booth photos have quickly become the preferred option for modern weddings — and for good reason. Today’s couples and guests want photos that are easy to access, share, and keep long after the wedding day ends. Digital photos offer instant gratification. Guests can download their images immediately, share them on social media, text them to friends, or save them to their camera roll — all without worrying about losing a printed strip before the night is over. This makes digital photo booths especially appealing for weddings where guests are already capturing and sharing moments in real time. From a guest experience standpoint, digital photos are more flexible and inclusive. Guests can take multiple photos, group shots, or individual portraits without being limited to a single printed strip. They also allow for higher-quality images, better lighting, and customizable layouts that feel more polished and intentional than traditional strips. Digital photo booths are also more practical from a planning perspective. There’s no risk of running out of prints, no printer malfunctions slowing things down, and no piles of unused strips left behind at the end of the night. Instead, couples receive a full online photo gallery they can revisit, download, and relive long after the wedding — making digital photos both an entertainment feature and a lasting keepsake. While photo strips can still be a fun nod to nostalgia, digital photo booth photos align better with how guests actually engage with memories today. They’re easier to share, harder to lose, and far more likely to be enjoyed well beyond the wedding day — which is why they’re now the most in-demand option for modern weddings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/20582ce2-1caf-4770-8faa-96c7debad779/pixel-pop-photo-booth.jpg Blog - Why a Photo Booth Is a Must-Have at Your Wedding - Why Modern Photo Booth Props Matter (And Why Guests Love Them) Props play a bigger role in the wedding photo booth experience than couples often realize. While some weddings skip props altogether or rely on overly cheesy options, thoughtfully chosen modern photo booth props strike the perfect balance between fun, style, and guest engagement. Guests love having something to pose with. Props help break the ice, encourage creativity, and make guests feel less awkward in front of the camera — especially for those who don’t know how to pose naturally. When guests are given fun, stylish options to interact with, they’re more likely to jump in, loosen up, and take multiple photos throughout the night. Modern props elevate the experience without feeling gimmicky. Think chic signs, minimalist phrases, acrylic pieces, or themed props that complement your wedding aesthetic. These types of props feel intentional and photograph beautifully, allowing guests to have fun without the photos feeling dated or out of place with your overall design. Cheesy props, on the other hand, can distract from the moment or discourage participation altogether. Guests may feel self-conscious using props that don’t match the tone of the wedding, and photos are less likely to be shared or kept long-term. Skipping props entirely can also make the experience feel awkward or flat, especially for guests who need a little encouragement to engage. The goal is balance. Modern photo booth props give guests permission to play, pose, and express themselves while still aligning with your wedding style. When props are curated intentionally, guests stay engaged longer, photos feel elevated, and the photo booth becomes an experience guests genuinely enjoy — not just a camera in the corner. https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/how-to-keep-guests-entertained-during-cocktail-hour monthly 0.5 2026-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1756231796610-TOFZYHRZ75SNNSHV6ZFS/Hotel-julien-wedding+%281%29.jpg Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Make it stand out Photo By: Christina Ney https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/9a6d29c4-e0c9-42d2-b701-af7ecdc0abd6/pixel-pop-photo-booth.jpg Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Photo Booths: A Fun & Interactive Cocktail Hour Experience A photo booth is one of the best cocktail hour entertainment options because it gives guests something fun and interactive to enjoy while they’re mingling, grabbing drinks, and waiting for the reception to begin. Unlike activities that require structure or instructions, photo booths are intuitive, low-pressure, and easy for guests of all ages to participate in. During cocktail hour, guests are often spread out — chatting, waiting in bar lines, or unsure of where to go next. A photo booth naturally draws people in and creates a focal point, helping guests stay engaged without interrupting the flow of the timeline. It’s especially helpful for filling downtime while the couple is taking photos or the reception space is being flipped. Photo booths also encourage guests to mix and mingle. Friends who may not know each other end up laughing, posing, and interacting together — which instantly boosts the energy of cocktail hour. Plus, guests walk away with a keepsake they can enjoy long after the wedding day, making it both entertaining and memorable. From a planning perspective, photo booths work seamlessly during cocktail hour because they don’t require announcements, scheduling, or active coordination once they’re set up. They can run continuously while guests come and go, making them an easy, stress-free entertainment option that enhances the guest experience without overwhelming the timeline. Whether you choose a modern open-air setup, digital sharing options, or a styled backdrop that complements your décor, a photo booth is a fun way to keep guests entertained and set a celebratory tone before the reception officially begins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/522d27b5-5c60-4f1e-88fd-521bf08fa5d1/rolling-meadows-wedding+%2822%29.jpg Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Live Musicians: Setting the Tone During Cocktail Hour Live music is one of the most effective ways to elevate the atmosphere during wedding cocktail hour. Whether it’s a solo guitarist, string trio, jazz ensemble, or acoustic duo, having live musicians instantly creates a welcoming, upscale vibe that encourages guests to relax, mingle, and enjoy the moment. Cocktail hour is all about transition — from ceremony to celebration — and live music helps bridge that gap effortlessly. Soft background music fills the space without overpowering conversation, keeping the energy light and social while avoiding awkward silence. It also signals to guests that the celebration is continuing, even while the couple is away taking photos or the reception space is being prepared. From a guest experience standpoint, live musicians feel intentional and elevated. Guests tend to linger longer, settle into the space more comfortably, and engage more naturally when music sets the mood. It also works well for a wide range of guest ages and wedding styles, making it a versatile cocktail hour entertainment idea. Live music is also extremely planner-friendly. Musicians can perform continuously without needing cues or announcements, allowing cocktail hour to flow naturally while other behind-the-scenes logistics are handled. When planned correctly, live musicians enhance the experience without disrupting the timeline or requiring extra coordination from the couple. Whether you’re planning an outdoor summer wedding, a formal indoor celebration, or something in between, live musicians are a timeless option that adds warmth, sophistication, and energy to your cocktail hour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343026416-0XPZNPN3YUK157BZ3MDI/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+2.jpg Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Beverage Burros: A Fun & Unexpected Cocktail Hour Experience Mini donkeys — often called beverage burros — are a playful and unforgettable way to serve drinks during wedding cocktail hour. These adorable donkeys are typically adorned with floral collars or custom décor and walk around offering guests bottled beverages, creating an interactive experience that instantly grabs attention. Beverage burros work especially well during cocktail hour because guests are already mingling and moving around. Instead of waiting in long bar lines, drinks are brought directly to guests in a fun, lighthearted way — keeping the energy high and the experience flowing smoothly. It also creates a natural conversation starter, helping guests relax and interact with one another. From a guest experience standpoint, beverage burros feel unique, memorable, and Instagram-worthy. Guests often remember cocktail hour moments like this long after the wedding day, making it a standout addition for couples who want something unexpected and joyful. These are particularly popular for outdoor weddings, summer weddings, and Southwest-inspired or rustic celebrations, but they can be styled to fit a variety of aesthetics. With proper planning and coordination, beverage burros integrate seamlessly into cocktail hour without disrupting the timeline. As with any interactive element, it’s important to plan thoughtfully. A day-of coordinator helps manage timing, guest flow, vendor communication, and venue approvals to ensure beverage burros enhance the experience while remaining safe, efficient, and venue-compliant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733421713948-WIG6O97XD5CD2FHDQS58/salisbury-house-wedding+%2883%29.jpg Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Yard Games: Easy, Interactive Fun for Cocktail Hour Yard games like cornhole, giant Jenga, and connect four are a fun, low-pressure way to keep guests entertained during wedding cocktail hour, especially for outdoor or summer weddings. These games give guests something to do while they’re mingling, waiting for drinks, or passing time before the reception begins — without requiring announcements or structured participation. Yard games are especially great for encouraging interaction between guests who may not know each other. They naturally bring people together, spark conversation, and create a relaxed, social atmosphere that feels welcoming and inclusive. Guests can jump in and out of games as they please, making them perfect for the flexible flow of cocktail hour. From a planning standpoint, yard games are simple, versatile, and easy to incorporate into the timeline. Once they’re set up, they run themselves — allowing guests to engage at their own pace while other wedding-day logistics are happening behind the scenes. They’re also a great option for couples who want entertainment that feels fun and approachable without being over-the-top. Yard games work particularly well when paired with plenty of space, clear signage, and nearby cocktail tables or seating. A day-of coordinator helps determine the best placement so games don’t interfere with bar lines, walkways, or vendor setup, ensuring cocktail hour feels organized while still relaxed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/a16cc73d-759a-4e36-960c-d99d77b67e10/GardnerWedding-822.jpg Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Live Painter: Meaningful Entertainment During Cocktail Hour A live wedding painter is a unique and immersive way to entertain guests during cocktail hour while also creating a meaningful keepsake from your wedding day. As guests mingle and enjoy drinks, they get to watch an artist actively paint a scene from your celebration — often the ceremony, first dance, or a wide reception view — in real time. Live painters work especially well during cocktail hour because guests naturally circulate and pause to observe the progress of the artwork. It creates a calm, engaging focal point that feels artistic and intentional, without overwhelming the space or disrupting conversation. Guests love checking back throughout the hour to see how the painting is evolving, which keeps them engaged without requiring participation. From a guest experience perspective, a live painter feels elevated, thoughtful, and memorable. It adds depth to your cocktail hour by blending entertainment with storytelling, and it appeals to guests of all ages. Many couples also love that their entertainment doubles as a lasting piece of art they can display in their home after the wedding. From a planning standpoint, live painters are seamless to incorporate into cocktail hour. Once the artist is set up, they work independently while the rest of the day flows around them. A day-of coordinator helps ensure the painter has the correct placement, lighting, and timeline coordination so their work enhances the experience without interfering with guest flow or vendor logistics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/691bb527-7058-435a-b8b8-1bc285df1778/Screenshot+2026-01-02+134102.png Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Tattoo Artist: A Bold & Unforgettable Cocktail Hour Experience Hiring a tattoo artist for wedding cocktail hour is a unique way to surprise guests and create an experience they’ll never forget. Offering small, pre-designed tattoos during cocktail hour gives guests something interactive to do while they mingle — and a lasting memory to take home from your wedding day. Tattoo artists work especially well during cocktail hour because guests are already circulating, chatting, and enjoying drinks at a relaxed pace. Rather than waiting in one place, guests can choose to participate when it feels right for them, making it a fun, optional activity that doesn’t disrupt the flow of the event. For couples with an edgy, modern, or alternative vibe, this addition feels intentional and true to their personalities. From a guest experience standpoint, tattoos spark excitement and conversation. Even guests who don’t plan to get one love watching the process, viewing designs, and cheering others on — which keeps energy high and engagement strong throughout cocktail hour. Many couples opt for small, simple designs or flash sheets inspired by their wedding theme, date, or shared interests. From a planning perspective, having a day-of coordinator is especially important when incorporating a tattoo artist. Coordination helps manage timing, guest flow, vendor placement, sanitation requirements, venue approval, and waivers — ensuring the experience is fun, safe, and seamless without overwhelming cocktail hour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/a41301a9-1503-40bb-b110-d9c67e80afd2/Jessica+%26+Jack+%2813%29.jpg Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Fun Appetizers: Elevating the Wedding Cocktail Hour Experience Incorporating fun, interactive appetizers is one of the most effective ways to enhance your wedding cocktail hour. Thoughtfully chosen bites give guests something to enjoy while mingling and waiting for the reception to begin, helping cocktail hour feel intentional rather than like downtime. Creative appetizer options — such as passed hors d’oeuvres, themed bites, interactive food stations, or late-night–inspired snacks — keep guests engaged and energized. Offering variety also helps accommodate different tastes and dietary needs, ensuring guests feel considered and taken care of from the start of the celebration. From a guest experience standpoint, fun appetizers reduce long bar lines and prevent guests from feeling hungry while they wait. Guests are more relaxed, social, and ready to celebrate when food is readily available — especially during longer cocktail hours or weddings with extensive photo timelines. Appetizers also provide an opportunity to reflect your personality as a couple. Whether you choose elevated versions of comfort foods, cultural favorites, or seasonal bites, cocktail hour food can tell a story and set the tone for the meal to follow. From a planning perspective, coordinating appetizers during cocktail hour requires careful timing and communication with catering staff. A day-of coordinator helps ensure food is passed at the right pace, stations are replenished, and transitions into dinner happen smoothly — keeping the experience seamless for guests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733421694333-INU7QTPQRTUUJI36Q325/salisbury-house-and-gardens-wedding+%2852%29.jpg Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Interactive Ceremony Programs & Wedding Newspapers: Fun Games for Guests Including games in your ceremony programs or wedding newspapers — like crosswords, word searches, or trivia — is a creative way to keep guests entertained during wedding cocktail hour without adding extra vendors or logistics. These interactive details give guests something engaging to do while they’re waiting for drinks, mingling, or transitioning from the ceremony to the reception. Games work especially well during cocktail hour because they’re optional and self-paced. Guests can participate while standing, sitting, or chatting with others, making them a low-pressure activity that doesn’t interrupt the flow of the event. They’re also ideal for guests who may not gravitate toward louder or more interactive entertainment options. From a guest experience perspective, wedding-themed games feel thoughtful and personal. Couples often customize puzzles with fun facts, shared interests, inside jokes, or details about their relationship — which adds personality and gives guests something meaningful to connect over. These games also help fill quiet moments and keep guests engaged during longer cocktail hours. Interactive programs and wedding newspapers are also planner-friendly. Once they’re printed and placed, they require no additional coordination or timing cues. A day-of coordinator can ensure they’re distributed properly and available during cocktail hour so guests can enjoy them as intended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1770229147378-FGNEK1QZU6I4DR6I92ED/The-Harmac-Wedding+%2813%29.jpg Blog - How to Keep Guests Entertained During Cocktail Hour - Custom Beer Pong Tables: Keeping the party going all night long Custom beer pong tables are a fun and highly personalized way to elevate your wedding cocktail hour while creating an interactive experience your guests will love. Designed with your names, wedding date, monogram, or even a custom design that reflects your personalities, these tables instantly feel intentional and tailored to your celebration rather than like a last-minute addition. Incorporating interactive games into cocktail hour is a great way to keep guests entertained while drinks are flowing and the evening is getting started. Custom beer pong tables naturally encourage mingling, spark friendly competition, and help break the ice between guests who may be meeting for the first time. Instead of guests standing around waiting for the reception to begin, games give them something engaging to do and help set a relaxed, high-energy tone for the rest of the night. What makes custom beer pong tables especially impactful is how long they stay in use. While they’re a huge hit during cocktail hour, guests often continue playing throughout the reception, keeping the entertainment going well into the night. They also photograph beautifully and add another layer of personality to your wedding design. Beyond the wedding day itself, custom beer pong tables double as a meaningful keepsake you can take home and use for future celebrations—making them both fun and functional. If you’re looking for a personalized wedding detail that’s memorable, interactive, and guaranteed to keep your guests entertained from cocktail hour through the last song of the night, custom beer pong tables are a perfect addition to your wedding celebration. https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/venue-coordinator-vs-day-of-coordinator-whats-the-difference monthly 0.5 2026-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1764443683685-H5QX6SQFHZZHZAMHTH8J/Iowa-wedding-planner.jpg Blog - Venue Coordinator vs Day-of Coordinator: What’s the Difference? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/71f04239-3858-4dac-a723-f538f6060ef6/day_of_coordinator_venue_coordinator.webp Blog - Venue Coordinator vs Day-of Coordinator: What’s the Difference? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/892115b8-cb18-4492-beef-1d014c561313/iowa_wedding_planner+%281%29.jpg Blog - Venue Coordinator vs Day-of Coordinator: What’s the Difference? - Questions to Ask Your Venue Coordinator If you’re considering relying solely on your venue coordinator instead of hiring a day-of coordinator, these questions will help you understand what level of wedding day coordination is actually included — and what responsibilities may still fall on you. Be sure to ask: Will you be present on our wedding day, and for how long? Will you create and distribute a detailed wedding day timeline? Will you attend and run our rehearsal? Will you assist with setup, such as tables, chairs, or décor? How long will you remain on-site during the wedding? Will you help coordinate transportation and arrival times? Will you be in direct communication with all of our wedding vendors? Will you direct vendors upon arrival and answer questions during setup? The answers to these questions will quickly clarify whether your venue coordinator’s role aligns with your expectations — or if hiring a day-of coordinator would provide the additional support, vendor communication, and peace of mind you’re looking for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/9e91eec6-193f-4567-8b73-24d26e1638b1/iowa_wedding_planner+%2813%29.jpg Blog - Venue Coordinator vs Day-of Coordinator: What’s the Difference? - What a Day-of Coordinator Typically Covers A professional wedding day-of coordinator commonly handles: Creating, managing, and distributing a detailed wedding day timeline Attending and leading the wedding rehearsal Coordinating the ceremony processional, cues, and timing Serving as the main point of contact for all wedding vendors Confirming vendor arrival times and setup requirements Directing vendors to their designated setup locations Managing ceremony and reception transitions Setting up ceremony décor (aisle markers, signage, programs, reserved seating, etc.) Setting up reception décor (centerpieces, place cards, welcome table, sweetheart table, cake table, favors, signage, etc.) Tearing down and packing up all décor at the end of the night Handling last-minute changes, delays, or weather adjustments Troubleshooting issues discreetly so the couple never feels the stress Coordinating grand entrances, first dances, toasts, cake cutting, and special moments Keeping the couple on schedule without rushing important moments Managing family and wedding party logistics Answering guest questions and directing guests as needed Coordinating transportation timing and arrivals Ensuring personal items (cards, gifts, décor pieces) are secured at the end of the night Communicating timeline updates to vendors throughout the day Acting as a calm, professional buffer between the couple and any unexpected challenges https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/20-best-rehearsal-dinner-locations-in-iowa-city monthly 0.5 2026-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1742406287945-15RJK66ZNMU7ASTLWR1F/walker-homestead-wedding+%2814%29.jpg Blog - 20+ Best Rehearsal Dinner Locations in Iowa City - Make it stand out Photo by: Emily Crall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/f5ef6ecb-56ce-4369-ba96-7431234f3e17/Iowa-city-rehearal-dinner-locations+%281%29.png Blog - 20+ Best Rehearsal Dinner Locations in Iowa City - Vue Rooftop, Iowa City Style: Modern, Elevated, Rooftop Rental Pricing: Contact venue directly for rehearsal dinner or private event pricing (pricing varies by space, guest count, food & beverage minimums, and event style) Capacity: Up to 40 guests Amenities: Private event room located 12 stories above downtown Iowa City; skyline views; dedicated table server; private bar access (bartender fee applies); pre-set menu and timeline coordination; optional direct access to the outdoor patio for an additional fee (weather permitting); elevator access; centrally located downtown near hotels and parking.

In reality, guests are far more appreciative of thoughtful, filling options than elaborate bites they don’t recognize. Simple, familiar foods almost always outperform fancy ones—especially when guests are hungry and ready to mingle. Crowd-pleasing options like sliders, meatballs, chips and dip, flatbreads, bruschetta, cheese and crackers, or mini tacos are often the first to disappear. These types of appetizers are comforting, easy to eat, and satisfying, which is exactly what guests are looking for during cocktail hour. Choosing items that don’t require utensils also keeps things moving smoothly and prevents spills or awkward balancing acts while guests socialize. From a budget standpoint, you don’t need an overflowing appetizer menu to keep guests happy. A few well-chosen options served consistently throughout cocktail hour are often more effective than a large spread that runs out quickly. Many caterers offer affordable appetizer packages or stations that provide great value without sacrificing quality, and some venues even allow couples to supplement catering with simple displays like charcuterie or snack stations (always check your venue’s policies first). Presentation can also go a long way without adding cost. Elevated trays, simple signage, or creative stations can make even the most basic appetizers feel intentional and well thought out. It’s not about what you serve—it’s about how you serve it. At the end of the day, cocktail hour appetizers are about guest comfort, not extravagance. Providing something to snack on keeps energy levels up, supports a smooth timeline, and helps guests fully enjoy the celebration from the very beginning. Thoughtful, simple food choices show care and consideration—and prove that a great cocktail hour doesn’t need to be fancy to be memorable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1770317739597-NAY589TQDH60LDPACG2O/Appetizer-ideas-for-cocktail-hour+%283%29.jpg Blog -

With endless flavor options—from classic vanilla and chocolate to champagne, lemon, or red velvet—cupcakes allow couples to offer variety while still keeping dessert cohesive and stylish. They’re also easy to customize with coordinating frosting colors, textures, or decorative toppers that tie seamlessly into your wedding design. From a guest experience standpoint, cupcakes are a win. Guests love the grab-and-go convenience, especially during larger weddings where dessert lines can slow things down. There’s no waiting for slices to be cut, no need for extra plates or forks, and no pressure to choose between flavors—guests can simply grab what looks best to them. For couples planning an outdoor wedding, cocktail-style reception, or more relaxed celebration, cupcakes are a practical and crowd-pleasing dessert option. Cupcakes also offer a modern, meaningful alternative to the traditional cake-cutting moment. Instead of slicing into a large tiered cake, couples can substitute this tradition with a shared cupcake moment. Feeding each other a bite, clinking cupcakes together, or sharing a quiet laugh creates an intimate, playful moment that still photographs beautifully. It keeps the symbolism of sharing dessert together without the formality—or stress—of cutting a full cake. For couples looking to move away from tradition while still honoring it in a fresh way, cupcakes strike the perfect balance. They’re approachable, customizable, and memorable, making them an ideal choice for weddings that prioritize guest experience and personal touches. Whether paired with a small display cake or standing entirely on their own, cupcakes are proof that wedding desserts don’t have to be traditional to be meaningful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733425364791-9CRZQM2D3P2DRKUVY8Q4/THE-HARMAC-WEDDING-DESSERTS%2826%29.jpg Blog - 10+ Unique Wedding Cake Alternatives Your Guests Will Love - Cookie Table A cookie table is a timeless and incredibly popular wedding cake alternative, especially for couples who want to offer variety while creating a warm, nostalgic guest experience.

From classic chocolate chip and sugar cookies to thumbprints, frosted cutouts, and family recipes passed down through generations, a cookie table allows couples to showcase their personalities—and their people—through dessert. One of the biggest advantages of a wedding cookie table is the variety it offers. Guests can sample multiple flavors, mix and match their favorites, and even return for seconds later in the evening. It’s an especially great option for couples who know their crowd loves dessert but may not all agree on one flavor or style of cake. Cookie tables are also perfect for casual, cocktail-style receptions or late-night snacks when guests are back on the dance floor and craving something sweet.

Individual cheesecake portions can be wrapped just like cupcakes, making them simple for guests to grab and enjoy without the need for slicing or plates. Another popular option is serving cheesecake in jars as cheesecake shooters—a modern, mess-free presentation that feels fun, stylish, and perfect for mingling. These mini jars are especially great for cocktail-style receptions, outdoor weddings, or late-night desserts when guests want something sweet but manageable.

Guests can easily enjoy them while mingling, heading back to the dance floor, or relaxing at their tables. This makes mini dessert shooters an especially popular choice for cocktail-style receptions, late-night dessert stations, or weddings where couples want to keep the energy high without interrupting the flow of the evening.

It’s also a great way to accommodate different preferences, including dairy-free or gluten-free options. From a logistics standpoint, ice cream and gelato bars are incredibly guest-friendly.

From vanilla and chocolate to lemon, almond, red velvet, or seasonal flavors, bundt cakes can easily be customized to suit your style and preferences. One of the biggest perks of choosing bundt cakes for your wedding dessert is flexibility. Couples can opt for a single larger bundt cake for a shared cutting moment, or display multiple mini bundt cakes for guests to grab and enjoy. Mini bundt cakes are especially popular because they’re individually portioned, easy to serve, and require no slicing—keeping dessert service smooth and stress-free. They also make great take-home treats, doubling as both dessert and wedding favors. Bundt cakes can be styled beautifully on tiered stands or dessert tables and decorated with simple glazes, powdered sugar, fresh florals, or berries to match your wedding aesthetic. They strike the perfect balance between elevated and comforting, making them ideal for weddings that prioritize warmth, personality, and guest experience. For couples looking for a unique wedding dessert idea that feels classic, customizable, and universally loved, bundt cakes are a sweet alternative to traditional wedding cake—proof that simple desserts can still make a big impact. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/87433acc-e4c1-4904-a373-0b0645885683/wedding-cake-alternative.jpg Blog - 10+ Unique Wedding Cake Alternatives Your Guests Will Love - Fruit Tarts Fruit tarts are a fresh, elegant wedding cake alternative that feel light, colorful, and effortlessly sophisticated. With a crisp pastry shell, creamy filling, and vibrant fresh fruit on top, fruit tarts bring a beautiful balance of flavor and texture that’s perfect for couples who want a dessert that feels refined without being overly heavy. They’re especially popular for spring and summer weddings when lighter, fruit-forward desserts are a guest favorite. One of the biggest advantages of serving fruit tarts at a wedding is their versatility. Couples can offer a variety of flavors—such as mixed berry, lemon, peach, or kiwi—while keeping a cohesive look across the dessert table. Mini fruit tarts are ideal for weddings because they’re individually portioned, easy to serve, and require no slicing or utensils, making them perfect for cocktail-style receptions or grab-and-go dessert stations. Fruit tarts also photograph beautifully and add a pop of color to any dessert display. The fresh fruit can be selected to complement your wedding color palette or seasonal theme, creating a dessert table that feels intentional and visually stunning. For couples who want to replace the traditional cake-cutting moment, sharing a fruit tart together offers a sweet, intimate alternative that still feels meaningful and romantic. Light, refreshing, and timeless, fruit tarts are a wedding dessert option that guests genuinely enjoy.

Fill disposable cups or mini containers with a mix of cheese, crackers, meats, and fruit so guests can grab one and head back to the dance floor. They’re easy to carry, portion-controlled, and can even be customized with vegetarian or gluten-free options. Chex Mix Affordable, customizable, and always a crowd-pleaser, Chex Mix is a great grab-and-go option. You can create your own special blend by adding pretzels, nuts, or even candy for a sweet-and-salty twist. Display it in large bowls or portion it into cups for easy serving. Popcorn Bar A popcorn bar is a fun and inexpensive way to treat your guests. Offer a variety of flavors—classic butter, caramel, kettle corn, or even gourmet flavors like white cheddar or spicy chili lime. Provide scoops and bags so guests can mix and match. A popcorn bar also doubles as décor if you add signage and themed containers. S’mores Station For summer weddings or outdoor receptions, nothing beats a s’mores station. Light up the fire pits or use tabletop burners, then provide graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, and fun extras like peanut butter cups or caramel squares. It’s interactive, nostalgic, and a guaranteed guest favorite. Chip Bar Simple yet satisfying, a chip bar lets you offer multiple flavors of everyone’s favorite snack. Set out baskets or bowls of classic potato chips, tortilla chips with salsa, and even unique flavors like jalapeño or sour cream & onion. For an extra personal touch, create a “His Favorite, Her Favorite, Our Favorite” chip display that reflects your tastes as a couple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/c0c38b61-db1d-43f8-9f6c-1c2a7e6430b0/Charcuterie-wedding-display.jpg Blog - 30+ Late Night Snack Ideas That Make an Impact Dino Chicken Nuggets Let’s be honest—dino-shaped chicken nuggets were a childhood favorite, and they’re still a hit as adults. Serving these at your wedding is not only delicious but also playful and nostalgic. Guests will love the unexpected throwback, and it’s guaranteed to spark laughter and conversation. Build-Your-Own Nacho Bar A BYO nacho bar is interactive, customizable, and always a crowd-pleaser. Set out tortilla chips, queso, and toppings like jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole, ground beef, or shredded chicken. Guests can pile their nachos as high as they want, making it a fun and filling late-night snack that caters to different tastes and dietary preferences. Grilled Cheese & Tomato Bisque Shooters Nothing says cozy comfort food like mini grilled cheese sandwiches paired with tomato bisque shooters. This late-night snack is warm, hearty, and easy to eat while mingling or dancing. It’s a creative twist on a childhood classic and one that will have guests lining up for seconds. Hot Pretzels Large, salty hot pretzels served with warm queso or mustard dips are a perfect balance of savory and satisfying. They’re easy to grab and eat on the go, making them ideal for guests who don’t want to leave the dance floor for long. For a gourmet twist, consider offering flavored pretzels like cinnamon sugar or everything-seasoned. Loaded French Fries Take fries to the next level with a loaded French fry station. Serve trays of fries with toppings like cheese, bacon bits, jalapeños, sour cream, and green onions for guests to customize. Want something more elevated? Offer truffle fries with parmesan and herbs for a chic late-night option. Either way, fries are always a hit after a few drinks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/38a0498b-6c9e-4c68-a3f0-4cc889efb35d/late-night-snack-for-wedding.jpg Blog - 30+ Late Night Snack Ideas That Make an Impact McDonald’s Let’s face it—McDonald’s burgers and fries are always craved after a night of drinking. Instead of sending your guests to the drive-thru, bring the drive-thru to them! Cater in cheeseburgers, nuggets, and fries for an instant hit. You can even personalize the packaging with your wedding monogram or colors for an elevated touch. Chick-fil-A It’s no secret that Chick-fil-A is a fan favorite—and it’s also one of the most commonly catered fast food options for weddings. Their nuggets, waffle fries, and sandwiches are easy to serve and guaranteed to disappear quickly. Pro tip: order extra Chick-fil-A sauce, because your guests will be fighting over it. Taco Bell If your goal is to keep the party vibes going, Taco Bell is a winner. Picture your guests on the dance floor with a Baja Blast in one hand and a Crunchwrap Supreme in the other—it doesn’t get more fun than that. Taco Bell is also a great option for variety since you can mix in tacos, quesadillas, nachos, and churros for a full spread. Dairy Queen Desserts count too! Dairy Queen ice cream treats are always a hit at weddings, especially for summer receptions. From Dilly Bars to Blizzards and sundaes, DQ is a nostalgic and refreshing way to end the night on a sweet note. Raising Cane’s Few things hype up a crowd like Raising Cane’s chicken fingers and Texas toast. If you want your guests to lose their minds, order in trays of crispy chicken, fries, and Cane’s Sauce. This late-night snack is equal parts indulgent and satisfying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/bdd706ce-0693-42c3-a8e8-0ab457abd360/late-night-snack-wedding-ideas.png Blog - 30+ Late Night Snack Ideas That Make an Impact Crepes Elegant yet customizable, crepes are one of the most impressive wedding desserts. If you hire a caterer who can prepare them live in front of your guests, it becomes both a snack and an experience. Offer a topping bar with Nutella, strawberries, bananas, powdered sugar, or whipped cream so each guest can create their own masterpiece. Crepes are perfect for couples looking for a refined yet playful dessert station. Ice Cream Truck Food trucks are always a hit at weddings, but nothing compares to the excitement of an ice cream truck pulling up late at night. Guests can grab cones, sundaes, or novelty bars, which makes this option especially fun for summer weddings. It’s interactive, refreshing, and nostalgic—a triple win for a sweet ending to your big day. Donut Bar A wedding donut bar is a fun and versatile way to treat your guests. Create a spread with a variety of flavors—think classic glazed, maple bacon, red velvet, and filled donuts—so there’s something for everyone. You can even design a display wall or stack them on tiers for a photo-worthy setup. Guests can grab one (or two!) to enjoy with coffee before heading home. Churros Few desserts make as big of an impression as warm churros served fresh. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and rolled in cinnamon sugar, churros are the perfect comfort dessert after a night of dancing. Pair them with dipping sauces like chocolate, caramel, or dulce de leche for an elevated touch. Gourmet Waffles on a Stick For a creative and Instagram-worthy option, try gourmet waffles on a stick. Think of them as waffle popsicles topped with chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, sprinkles, or even fruit. They’re easy for guests to carry around, fun to decorate, and guaranteed to be a late-night talking point. https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/20best-des-moines-wedding-venues monthly 0.5 2025-12-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/d29507ee-035a-4342-8df6-2df9824dc523/harpors-vineyard-wedding-venue+%2812%29.jpg Blog - 20+ Best Wedding Venues in Des Moines & Central Iowa - Make it stand out Phot By: Missie Lafrenz Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1742662942380-S5284CZEE551RU1NJR52/Salisbury-house-and-gardens-wedding+%2810%29.jpg Blog - 20+ Best Wedding Venues in Des Moines & Central Iowa - The Salisbury House & Gardens, Des Moines Style: Historic, Romantic, Refined Rental Pricing: Contact venue directly for seasonal rates and packages (varies by space and guest count) Amenities: Tudor-style mansion with Gothic architecture, formal gardens, terraces, and historic interiors; indoor and outdoor ceremony options; tables and chairs available; preferred catering list; day-of event staff; WiFi and electricity access; flexible rental hours (8:00 a.m. – midnight); free on-site parking; and access to nine acres of beautifully landscaped grounds for photos.

We also added in multi sized pillar candles along the bottom to give the tablescape a fuller look, then wove in greenery throughout the candles. Each spot at the table had a full place setting, including: a black rimmed charger plate, mismatched dining plates (plain black and ones with foral elements) green velvet napkins, black silverware, green water goblets, and amber champagne goblets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343093056-PBQIWX8U5I2JJX0URGXV/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+38.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding - Round Table # 2 This table focused the decor elements at eye level for guests, rather than adding in additional height to the space. I first started with multi heighted gold athena candles, then added a heavy greenery wreath around the candles. The goal of the thick greenery garland was to make the center of the table feel more full, without taking away from the decor elements. We then added in gold votive candles around the wreath, so that the candlelight was spread evenly throughout the table. This tablescape had full place settings as well, which included: Gold beaded charger plates, vintage floral dinner plates, a black menu, red velvet napkin, and gold silverware with vintage green goblets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343075135-TRMQKZ21G0DE177MXNKD/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+6.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding - Long Table Decor Instead of displaying another decor style on a round table, I wanted to feature a long table for the shoot as well. For this tablescape we used a long wooden harvest table, and used tall black floral stands to support a floating greenery garland running the length of the table. In the beginning, I was going to add glass orbs hanging down from the greenery, but ended up scratching the idea and instead adding in vintage gold candlestick holders with white taper candles. Adding these in really helped give the table a fuller look, and I even added in amber votive candles around the table outside of the greenery garland. I had the florist add in greenery running along the middle of the table as well, not only to help cover the floral stands, but because I wanted to create a ‘swampy’ and ‘foresty’ feel to the table. After all, this is a woodlands themed wedding, and I wanted it to feel like fairies were dining with us at this table. So we added greenery in the middle of the table, then popped in some spots of moss to help achieve the look. Just like the rest of the table, we had full place settings at each spot including: Gold beaded charger plates, black dining plates, black silverware, burnt orange velvet napkins in a knot fold, a snippet of fern, and a circular dinner menu resting upon it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343630036-X158QA29HF6TVBS6OESC/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+11.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343628648-E6T0A87RV1JJ6WTSFDFS/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+10.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343630520-DVQL46OY3EHCK83LDDRC/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343629109-VS7NOK4FA0QYC9I5TM5D/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+17.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343589979-VJTS18L3NGZB3NHNESDJ/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+8.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343588779-S472SYE8F59E07W1RSYZ/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+20.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343587387-E8HTOXTULY7SZOBBOH5J/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+18+-+Copy.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343588988-XUINIK56W71EJCUD2LRI/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+7.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343587339-FMFV2C1CBYVS6OF27IJ7/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+19.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343590349-C6V75NRRNCSVETQW438C/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+9.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343699277-LTKWCYZKFFBOZIAMXRJA/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+23.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343699236-39V98Y4L43ET7C9RL0TI/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+24.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343700453-LFO12VHEEW7A06LY2O4V/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+6.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343080180-V6B6X823DM982Y5JMXJJ/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+12.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding - The Sweetheart Table The main pieces I started with, was the wicker loveseat and the wooden sweetheart table; those were the two pieces I KNEW I wanted to include. My friend who owns a vintage rental company partners with a tapestry company that offers these STUNNING hand dyed tapestries, and I knew I wanted to include them, but wasn’t sure if I wanted them hung, or used as a runner. In the end I opted on using them as a runner, since I haven’t seen that done before from this particular company. In doing this, it also brought color in to the bottom of the table, where I felt as though the decor would’ve been overshadowed by the darkness of the room had I not. I added in multi sized lanterns on either side of the head table, then placed some flowing greenery atop the table to bring together all the design elements. I then placed vintage gold candlesticks in the greenery to create that intimate feeling candlelight gives off, and voila! The sweetheart table came together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/a1418f58-f5b9-4cf3-9f7a-9dc944f8092d/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+7.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding - The Cake This stunning cake was created by Parinda Cupcakes, a company I have followed and admired for a LONG time. Parinda specializes in creating cakes and cupcakes with floral designs that are quite literally the definition of, “Looks too good to eat”. So it’s no surprise that when I opted for a cake specializing in floral elements, I called May, the owner of Parinda Cupcakes. One of my favorite details in these shots, is all the moss. Our planner Mercedes was in charge of adding in the moss elements to this table, and at one point I remember looking over to see her trying to open the leather suitcase. I just remember thinking, “I know it’s supposed to be a card box, but I really don’t want to have it open for the shoot, I want it closed… I’ll just shut it when she’s not looking, lol”. But little did I know, she wanted to open it so she could stuff moss inside- GENIUS! It may seem like a little detail, but the shot wouldn’t have been the same if the suitcase didn’t have moss sticking out; it just completed the look! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344156561-FQSAF4SDP7OJ40RKUXS4/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+3.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344156618-M0V74J0AV684PV5X9UIE/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+6.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344158543-A5EE4BJM50LMELQN18XV/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+7.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344158815-6E11VLFYRYQK6UKA6UP9/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+15.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344159990-G4A384LJXIH1O4NAOER6/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+15.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/c9895109-6ed2-4be9-8105-6331f5e7e4a5/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+12.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding - The Floral When you think of a brdial bouquet, you probably think of a big bushel of flowers. I wanted to try something different, step outside of the box, and push the envelope to see if there are couples out there who want to try greenery bouquets instead. Over the past few years, I have had quite a few brides who wanted to limit the florals in their bouquet, and instead add in different elements like sticks, feathers, pampas, etc. So with this shoot, we expirimented on the bridal bouquet and other ‘floral’ elements to really try and limit the flowers we added in. As you can see from the photos, most of our floral elements include different types of greenery, such as: Leather Leaf Plumosa Fern Italian Ruscus We strayed away from typical wedding greenery such as eucalyptus, silver dollar, huck greenery,etc. Really the only florals we had at the shoot were for the bridal bouquet, which consisted of: Burgundy Hanging Amaranthus Scabiosa Pods Pinecones Ball Dahlias https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344358862-126IBF70EKU1Y76E4QW8/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+22.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344326854-ZDRJRUXT96T4EDWPIBGE/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+32.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344326992-8UJ5GE0V115DXQUT5A92/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+33.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344358819-CC9V20OSKDVWNDKS15LX/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+28.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344360122-HFN1K6NFK4MCSH4TWAOB/Into+the+Woods+Tiffany+4.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/bdc2c313-58eb-476c-bda3-b3af898de22c/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+8.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding - The Lounge Setup I love including lounge setups on the wedding day!

I wanted the greenery to cascade down from the top in a sort of whimsical way, and to help give it that effect we added a few little details. First, we hung glass orbs with candles at different heights throughout the length of the arbor. We then placed mini LED votive candles in the orbs to give off more candlelight. We also added in white wisteria hanging down from the top, to help add in some additional color. We then took different sized lanterns and placed them around the base of the arch to bring focus downward. The venue had these super cute hanging lanterns lining the path of the ceremony walkway which also helped add to the aesthetic. Finally, we took large rugs and lined them haphazardly down the aisle for the walkway. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344473394-UA46D0NKEXIL4P7ZYGDT/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+27.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344473191-KBUDZG64CSNY6RI41M9A/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+28.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344477517-AIVQY1EQUV4GYGT3NAEW/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+34.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344475354-F7V6KMG2FHYMU3TS77TP/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+29.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344475232-OHRAMU6JH5OT09Y8VDPL/Into+the+Woods+Arrowhead+Photography+38.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344477385-DR0WQ9LK2D70RIEF3CZM/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+33.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738344478776-KV8YXAIN2N807P9J05XO/Into+The+Woods%2C+Missie+43.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/9511b8c8-bf0d-4dd2-b576-c83ce3fd2d55/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+2.jpg Blog - “Into the Woods” a Dark Woodland Wedding - The Beverage Burro This is Pedro, a working man at Apres Bar Co. and honestly, the star of the show when it came to this styled shoot.

I wanted to stay away from floral patterns on the dress because, even though this is a woodland shoot, I see floral wedding dresses almost every single weekend, and I needed to do something different. The last dress I ever would’ve expected to have for the shoot, ended up being the one we went with. I attended the dress fitting with our model at Kalon Bridal Shop, and after trying on dress after dress, none of them really felt right for the shoot. Then we tried on the one pictured… I can’t explain it, but that dress felt right. For starters, it looked like the dress Feyre got married in, in the book ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’, so already it had the fairy princess vibes. Plus, when our model Allyssa ran in the dress, it had this beautiful flowing look to it that complately captured a fairytale look. The second dress we picked for the shoot, featured alot of lace and pearl elements which I absolutely adored! It was her secondary dress so it wasn’t in majority of the photos, but it still did a good job of capturing that fairytale aesthetic I was foing for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1738343039030-7HZ27E09NU0I7Z6LXJ1T/Into+the+Woods%2C+Missie+13.jpg Blog -

The first guest table design I did, is by far my favorite! I knew I wanted to include a free standing floral arrangement on one of the guest tables with hanging geometric figurines, but I had no idea it would turn out SO GOOD! The decor elements in this guest table setup include: A Hanging Floral Arrangement on Gold Stands Geometric Figures Hanging From The Arrangement Pillar Candles Greenery Garland Gold Votive Candles Gold Charger Plates White Dinner Plates and Violet Salad Plates Sapphire Linen Napkins A Purple Dinner Menu Gold Silverware Teal Vintage Glassware Not only was the decor setup incredible, but we opted to take some bridal portraits with the bride and groom infront of the guest table and they turned incredible! Especially when we brought in the sapphire blue couch for the couple to lounge on and postioned it infront of the table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705522420102-GK2P34TYK9RQ55FNO1B3/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+%28Paige+Green%29+2.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705523335264-IGY9FKIZ1MES5LN3NB5X/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+44.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705522723410-IPVE05JUUO4A37YPOXMZ/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+28.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705522423099-4NQOJJXCWQF6STR9P4ID/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+42.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705522420140-AQBKU6ACAAO3SVUVLA4S/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+%28Paige+Green%29+4.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709836376614-59U4ZE42SOY7NAQBTAE9/Celestial+SS+Demi+4.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705522421672-1OE0Z44MXJPM6CIJ75R4/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+15.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709836377534-ETGA5C4NRWJXZR2AB2F0/Celestial+SS+Demi+12.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705522423984-JPEHVT6J6BSK3U0HFP68/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+43.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709836377768-S02TLL81TQPGTJDXAU3J/Celestial+SS+Paige+Green+5.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705522421767-6JDFI1PXL7BM1BKWYNWG/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+37.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705522423015-Z8AQ8YA6V0CU5IKUVZQ2/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+41.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709836376516-LDGDCMXRISCIMVOEI10F/Celestial+SS+Demi+3.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/ff7ca8ea-bbfe-4d87-8ec2-2de1ac7e44e9/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+10.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot - The second guest table decor design was meant to play with light, and make it seem like you were dining amongst the stars; hence why there are so many twinkle lights!

I also wanted to ensure they felt secluded, yet in the center of their guests at the very same time. In order to do so, I took two side tables and placed that on either end of their table setup to create more spacing from their guest tables and to allow more room for the couple. Ultimately it made the sweetheart table feel like the couple were in their own little world, while still being surrounded by their guests! The decor elements in The sweet heart table include: A Hex Arbor Backdrop with Floral Installations A Sapphire Blue Sofa A Sweetheart Table with a Black Linen Pillar Candles and Gold Candelsticks of Varying Heights 2x Side Tables with Pillar Candles The Bridal Bouquet Gold Charger Plates Gray Velvet Linen Napkin A Purple Dinner Menu Designed to Look Like the Moon Gold Silverware Teal Vintage Glassware with Stars https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705525745825-OH7CJDNS9IPALOUXJG9S/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+14.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709836599678-0VBWR5UCIKYBZKKXQEYK/Celestial+SS+Demi+5.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705525744034-9TXM6ETLYSJ68G4NQQHI/Celestial+SS+Crystal+K.+.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705525746775-ABIAKIA2JCVOFHM3LYN6/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+35.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705525745216-DD8SOMIC7V0R8S658GB8/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+11.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705525744097-30TB2EBXKOJ9LJX53C1J/Celestial+SS+Paige+Green+10.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705525747120-LECJ8CT8L7NF7G6OGK3H/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+36.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705525746183-I6JAZ27L9RG5E0DLO4I0/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+34.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/44b52964-4e23-470c-b98f-1fe97fadf9e9/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+19.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot - I’ve used Ami with Ami’s Cakes before, and I have always loved how she is always able to think outside of the box to create unique desserts for her clients. So obviously, I HAD to have her design the cake for the Celestial shoot. As per usual, I gave Ami creative freedom when designing the cake, but sent her a few inspiration images from my pinterest. Her challenge though, and the one thing I knew I wanted, was to have the cake light up in some way. When photographing the cake, we all knew it was WAY too stunning to just do your average wedding cake photos, so we decided to stage it a bit. We ended up taking it off the table we origionally had it set up on, and moved it to the grand piano the venue had, and had the couple cut it there. And BOY OH BOY we got some incredible couple portraits from doing so! We also staged the cake with some of the decor we had around the space such as pillar candles, votive candles, greenery, hanging floral stems, and a few star figurines. If anything, THIS is your sign to do staged bridal portraits with your cake! Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box and stage some of your photos, because more than likely, they’ll become some of your favorites! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526123514-XPKY2PHN1SKG5236VT2A/Celestial%2BSS%2BCrystal%2BK.%2B4.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526089423-066V00EC048T02FFFNLX/Celestial+SS+Crystal+K.+5.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526090900-0Q3ZTKR5VI1P3R91XMPO/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+13.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526090953-CI6Q90VAPEV5P24BS6O2/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+19.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526091932-0H2JP8U85NHKTHRO0X1L/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+38.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/54ba4b24-3918-4d44-838a-bc832cc669f9/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+12.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot The hardest part of the floral design for this shoot, is figuring out how the heck to make ‘celestial floral’. Like seriously?! It’s not like there’s flowers growing in space! I decided to stick with the color scheme though of blues, purples, and pinks, which ultimately ended up matching everything else very well! For the bridal bouquet we opted to go for a loose and flowing bouquet with hanging ribbons in our color scheme. The florist picked out all the stems, and used a unique display of colors that ultimately looked so cool! For the groom’s boutonniere I chose to go for the trending floral pocket square rather than your traditional boutonniere and it was such a hit! It was easy to put on, didn’t fall off, and the groom could take it off and keep it forever after the wedding day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705528435397-7U2H2K2GOSS786S2OXNH/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+45.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526238863-04X60589FGFTVH79V8B1/Celestial+SS+Paige+Green+13.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526240307-557IUNEFSTDLJUB56UTZ/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+16.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526237955-PO88UJZBB7JCLXGMFAEQ/Celestial+SS+Paige+Green+12.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526239068-DU2SOWNHY99FCRE44GP9/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+4.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526240178-3QUJ18QF40X8FEUKO5UB/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+12.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526241233-B5KIJGH482I5I87J2SDM/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+36.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526238009-GGB94JW01S98X5H7WBXD/Celestial+SS+Paige+Green+8.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/3fc9679e-a08c-4ae3-a8fa-18d87b983479/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+6.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot This was one part of the shoot that I was heavily focused on and wanted to make sure got pulled off perfectly. I mean let’s be honest, how can you have a celestial wedding with no fireworks or fog?! While we didn’t actually use fog or fireworks, we used two seperate machines to give us these effects. The first one is called a cold sparks machine. This machine creates realistic looking fireworks that, get this, are NOT flammable! We then paired the cold sparks machine with the dancing on clouds machine, which is dry ice based and sticks low to the ground rather than forming in the air like a fog machine. The dancing on cloud machine allows the dry ice to stick to a certain area on the dance floor, and never rise above 3 feet, creating the perfect effect for ‘dancing on clouds’! You might be wondering though why the fog looks purple. Thats because we added uplights underneath the fog, that ultimately changed the color of the fog to this stunning violet hue! You can see the small uplight fixture in this photo to the right, right above the brides dress shooting up a purple beam. Those uplights were placed in a circle around the bride and groom for their first dance, which the dancing on clouds machine ended up covering in the end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526400724-F788XYLLN6V2PNK9EVSV/Celestial+SS+Crystal+K.+6.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526402814-N8YZ10KY5C721T7I9RBO/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+7.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526404474-LI4DZ1VLP5O14M8AA7C5/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+22.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526400816-ER5REG5DN0CI96DIXFYH/Celestial+SS+Crystal+K.+7.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526401692-FPDGVJWS6ODT23YR8WN1/Celestial+SS+Paige+Green+9.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526401904-JFHXP9QYDJLT84Y0AAHH/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+5.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526402499-WL0VO9FUWZ8BY501EGZB/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+6.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526403464-QHAW29C08YGUBQFJMX4Z/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+20.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526403798-B5CUZCY8SWIDW1VG5BHN/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+21.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526405478-U3ODASIA0FXECF5VJJBC/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+39.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705526404751-IUKSD8P4QCETIA3V9QBF/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+33.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/4346f9ef-f6f7-4763-9668-f4f7053e3d0b/Celestial+SS+Crystal+K.+3.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot - If you’re thinking about adding a lounge setup on your wedding day, this is your standard furniture rental/setup below.

So many dresses have floral elements, but I didn’t want any of that. I wanted a dress that was truly unique, something that would fit perfectly with the theme of a starry night. When you think about it though, what would a Goddess wear on her wedding day? It’s not like I had anything to go off of, so I stuck to the basics; sparkles that reminded me of stars glittering in the night sky. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the bride wore two different dresses, each one displaying something different. The first dress brought in the sparkle element I was looking for. When she moved, it looked like a thousand stars were glittering off of her! Pair that with the pearls, another feature the dress had that I loved, and I thought it was the perfect dress! The second dress we used, had these gorgeous off the shoulder sleeves that swooshed behind her when she walked, giving her an ethereal feeling. We then paired a stunning glitter veil with that dress that really pulled the entire look together giving her a royal look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709837733342-A0K22SESB5N6432HOK02/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+49.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709838205105-CF2P0MAL9C858HLQY4IS/Celestial+SS+Demi+26.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709837725635-1EIX98V3V409HBVYSQLH/Celestial+SS+Demi+10.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709837761280-PV36I6X11VSIN4LTUEXS/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+14.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709838205056-OJZT5O6OMABRD2E3VKLR/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+6.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705528019024-9QTJN7B1F33EAOD3UICW/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+4.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709838206511-TV9DVD3P463X6RWAKLFY/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+19.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709837725612-71UL42K1TPF6PR3EP3T5/Celestial+SS+Demi+15.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1705528017879-V6KHIMEAFWZYHGHL0ATQ/Celestial+SS+Paige+Green+6.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709838206510-LM738W75LSQ2N6H1PXJZ/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+21.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709838207746-HCVN0I9TSYYCCGOXTWUF/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+38.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1709838218933-MA3SJVC4ZXR46YWUNA3C/Celestial+Styled+Shoot+47.jpg Blog - ‘Written In The Stars’, A Celestial Styled Shoot https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/the-complete-guide-to-choosing-your-wedding-songs monthly 0.5 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/130f186d-7246-4062-801f-7d6071336cb0/First+Dance+in+Des+Moines+Iowa Blog - The Complete Guide To Choosing Your Wedding Songs - Make it stand out Photo By: Ally McElfish Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/bb8afaf3-501c-4f27-b49e-f179499cb793/Grand+Entrance+Song+Idea Blog - The Complete Guide To Choosing Your Wedding Songs - Make it stand out Photo by: Christina Ney Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/f2231a1a-9e5c-42ba-bcac-5655f83a3d81/First+Dance+Walker+Homestead Blog - The Complete Guide To Choosing Your Wedding Songs - Make it stand out Photo By: Emily Crall Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/2c3a088a-d09e-42b7-ab0e-856412e267f3/Father+Daughter+Dance Blog - The Complete Guide To Choosing Your Wedding Songs - Father Daughter Song Ideas My Girl, by The Temptations Stand By Me, by Ben E King I Loved Her First, by Heartland My Little Girl, by Tim McGraw Your Song, by Elton John When You Need Me, by Bruce Springsteen The Best Day, by Taylor Swift Hero, by Mariah Carey Butterfly Fly Away, by Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus Love Me Now, by John Legend https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/b504912e-c316-451e-aaa9-a1d798da949a/Mother+Daughter+Dance Blog - The Complete Guide To Choosing Your Wedding Songs - Mother Daughter Song Ideas Slipping Through My Fingers, by ABBA Mom, by Meghan Trainor (feat.

15+ Unique Wedding Guestbook Ideas: Creative Alternatives Your Guests Will Love - What is the Purpose of a Wedding Guestbook? At its core, the purpose of a wedding guestbook is to give your guests a meaningful way to share their warm wishes, advice, and love as they help you celebrate one of the most important days of your life. It’s more than just a collection of signatures — it’s a keepsake filled with personal messages, well wishes, and memories that you and your partner can return to long after the celebration has ended. A guestbook becomes a tangible reminder of everyone who showed up to support your marriage, allowing you to relive the joy, emotion, and connection of your wedding day for years to come. Traditionally, wedding guestbooks were simple books where guests signed their names and left a short note. While that timeless option is still loved by many couples, today’s guestbooks have evolved into something far more personal. Modern couples are embracing unique wedding guestbook ideas and creative alternatives that reflect who they are, how they celebrate, and the overall feel of their wedding day. Whether your style is romantic, modern, playful, sentimental, or non-traditional, your guestbook should feel like a natural extension of your relationship and wedding aesthetic — not just another item on the checklist. Your guestbook is one of the few wedding details you’ll actually revisit after the day is over, which makes personalization especially important. From the materials and design to the prompts you give your guests, every element is an opportunity to tell your story. A thoughtful guestbook invites guests to engage more intentionally, encourages heartfelt messages, and creates a keepsake that feels deeply meaningful rather than generic. Guestbooks also serve as a bridge between generations. Years from now, you may find yourselves flipping through its pages on an anniversary, a quiet evening at home, or even sharing it with your children or grandchildren. The handwritten notes, advice, and loving messages offer a glimpse into the people who surrounded you on your wedding day and the community that supported the beginning of your marriage. In that way, a guestbook becomes more than a wedding detail — it becomes a piece of your family history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1694542956623-DHK0UPELLU91S074730S/Amanda+%26+Aaron+Photo+Guestbook.PNG Blog -

Tree Planting Wedding Ceremony: The Ultimate Guide to This Unique Unity - Set Up: Its easier if you have the potted plant setup ahead of time so all you and your fiancé will need to do is add soil and water. You don’t want to spend 5 minutes up at the altar actually planting a tree, right? With that being said, you'll need the following: Table 2 small jars for the dirt (dirt can be taken from wherever it is significant to you and your fiancé, or you can purchase at a garden center) One potted plant that is special to the couple A watering can filled with water A separate pot (optional) Two shovels to move the dirt (optional) https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-having-signature-cocktails-at-your-wedding monthly 0.5 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/b628a665-d121-4857-8847-bc1db9c9a0b0/Signature+Drinks Blog - The Ultimate Guide to Having Signature Cocktails at Your Wedding - Make it stand out Photo By: Erin Allsup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/0b752449-8095-423b-b1b1-17b32717c760/AAA.jpg Blog - The Ultimate Guide to Having Signature Cocktails at Your Wedding - How Many Signature Drinks Should I Offer? You don’t want too many signature cocktails that will overwhelm your guests, so I recommend picking 2-3 drinks that your guests can choose from. However, if you only want one signature drink to add to your bar, that’s perfectly fine too! https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-shoe-game monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/5b0a1e64-6a62-4597-82ab-283eece40eeb/The+Shoe+Game Blog - Everything You Need To Know About The Shoe Game - Make it stand out Photo By: Letura Idigmia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/6010c1dd-2e91-4f3b-82c6-733378ff68bc/the-shoe-game-wedding.jpg Blog - Everything You Need To Know About The Shoe Game - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/91cb6d08-5904-45a0-ac49-7e1c026340dd/shoe-game-walker-homestead.png Blog - Everything You Need To Know About The Shoe Game - When Should You Play the Wedding Shoe Game? One of the most common questions couples ask is: when is the best time to play the wedding shoe game? The answer comes down to your reception timeline and the flow of your evening. Ideally, the shoe game works best right after dinner and before you officially open the dance floor. At this point, all of your guests are seated, paying attention, and ready for some entertainment before the party kicks off. It’s the perfect transition between the formal dinner portion of the evening and the fun, energetic part of the reception. Some couples choose to wait and play the game later in the night, once the drinks are flowing and everyone is loosened up. While this can make for some hilarious answers, it also comes with challenges. Playing the wedding shoe game in the middle of the dance hour means you’ll need to clear the dance floor, which can disrupt the momentum. Once the music stops, it can sometimes be difficult to get guests back up and dancing—especially if some of your older guests or families with children have already left by that point. If your schedule works best to play during dancing, one great trick is to have your DJ line up a crowd favorite immediately after the game ends. Think of high-energy songs like the Cupid Shuffle, Cha Cha Slide, or another wedding dance floor anthem that gets everyone moving. This way, the transition feels seamless and the energy stays high. The key is to place the shoe game at a time when you have the most guests in attendance, the most attention on you as a couple, and the least interruptions to your overall timeline. For most weddings, that sweet spot is after dinner, before toasts or dancing, when everyone is already gathered together. https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/whats-the-difference-between-a-venue-coordinator-and-a-day-of-coordinator monthly 0.5 2024-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/fc775a52-e18a-44e6-b12b-a72c99bd239a/Difference+between+venue+coordinator+and+day+of+coordinator Blog - What’s The Difference Between a Venue Coordinator and a Day of Coordinator? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/blog/have-a-sweet-story-at-your-wedding monthly 0.5 2023-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1694106965759-HGEXPO50ZRCFATB51T9U/Olivia+%26+Boyd+Sweet+Story.PNG Blog - Have a Sweet Story at Your Wedding! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/3928b5c0-c5d2-48d4-b67e-9eca2a4a735f/Olivia+%26+Boyd+Sweet+Story+2.jpg Blog - Have a Sweet Story at Your Wedding! Although it's not necessary to print out a sweet treats menu card, it is definitely a cute touch and will get your guests even more excited to try your desserts! For Olivia and Boyd's sweet story, they decided to print out these menu cards and place them at each table setting for their guests to look over before the desserts were served. They also had signs on their sweets table describing why they choose each treat, just like they did on their menu cards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1694107412994-6OVQ9A4TIH37ZR4LWXCB/Caro%5BChristinaNey%5D109738.jpg Blog -

The bridal suite at The HarMac offered tons of natural light, exposed brick, modern décor, and the perfect backdrop for dreamy detail photos. But nothing stood out more than Cate’s robe — a custom bridal robe sewn from her mother’s wedding dress. This wasn’t just a cute getting-ready outfit… it was a legacy piece. Delicate lace sleeves, vintage buttons, and soft satin gave the robe a timeless feel, and seeing Cate wear a piece of her mother’s history added so much emotion to the morning. Bridesmaids helped zip, steam, toast mimosas, and create beautiful memories before the ceremony, but that robe was the moment. It photographed beautifully and became one of those heirloom details future generations will love. Meanwhile, Tyler and his groomsmen got ready in a separate suite at The HarMac, hanging out, adjusting bowties, and taking classic portraits before heading to the ceremony space. Their black-and-white tuxes paired perfectly with the industrial-modern vibe of The HarMac venue. If you’re planning a wedding at The HarMac in Cedar Rapids, this space truly shines for getting-ready photos. From modern design to great window light, your hair, makeup, robe, and detail shots will all look incredible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1770229156236-75K7J5ZP8620DK1B6NOB/The-Harmac-Wedding+%2839%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Cate & Tyler - The Bridal Party – Sleek, Modern, and Perfectly Chic Cate and Tyler’s bridal party was the definition of modern elegance. The ladies stunned in sleek black gowns, each with their own unique silhouette, proving once again why black will always be a timeless and sophisticated bridal party choice. Paired with crisp white floral bouquets, the entire look felt upscale, editorial, and perfectly in sync with the Harmac’s industrial-chic aesthetic. Cate’s bridesmaids surrounded her on a white velvet sofa beneath shimmering disco balls and floor-to-ceiling windows — and honestly, the vibes were immaculate. Between the laughter, the champagne, and the effortless style, every photo looked like it belonged in a bridal fashion magazine. The groomsmen matched the energy with black tuxes and bow ties while Tyler stood out in a classic white tux jacket, creating the perfect contrast against the dramatic backdrop of the bar and exposed brick. Together, the full wedding party looked intentional, cohesive, and undeniably cool. Whether grouped at the bar, posed by the windows, or sharing candid laughs, this crew made the industrial space feel elevated and full of personality. It wasn’t just a bridal party — it was a vibe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1770229175212-9SI4N0Z8ZP8X6IQ34Y7V/The-Harmac-Wedding-Decor+%2870%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Cate & Tyler - Industrial Romance: Reception Décor at The HarMac Cate and Tyler transformed The HarMac into a warm, modern, candlelit dream. The moment guests stepped into the reception space, the atmosphere felt elevated yet effortless. Long banquet-style tables were dressed in rich black linens—sleek, bold, and perfectly in line with their classic black-and-white palette. Towering clusters of candles lined every table: pillar candles, ribbed glass hurricanes, glowing votives, and modern taper holders. When the lights dimmed, the room flickered with a soft golden glow that made the entire space feel intimate and luxurious. The florals were intentionally minimal and modern—delicate white blooms placed thoughtfully at each table setting—allowing the candlelight and architectural details of The HarMac to shine. And the chandeliers? Truly a moment. A dramatic installation of beaded chandeliers hung across the ceiling, cascading with crystal texture and reflecting the warm candlelight below. They added a glamorous contrast to the raw industrial bones of the warehouse—exposed brick walls, concrete pillars, and massive factory windows. It was the perfect balance of modern luxury meets industrial chic, and it photographed beautifully in both bright daylight and moody evening light. Every detail felt cohesive, intentional, and stylish—proof that minimalism can still make a major statement when done right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1770229186271-Z3YO731H3SLOWET8UB94/The-Harmac-Wedding-Indoor-Ceremony+%2875%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Cate & Tyler - A Modern & Romantic Indoor Ceremony at The Harmac Cate and Tyler’s ceremony took place inside The Harmac, and it was nothing short of modern romance. Their venue’s industrial architecture — exposed ceilings, white brick, and massive factory-style windows — created the perfect backdrop for a sleek city-chic “I do.” The natural light poured in behind them, diffusing soft and dreamy across the room while candles lined the aisle and window ledges, adding a warm, intimate glow. To elevate the atmosphere even further, Cate and Tyler chose a string quartet to play throughout the ceremony. Their musicians set the tone from the moment guests were seated — classical, emotional, and timeless. As the quartet played, guests settled in with a sense of anticipation that only live music can bring. Cate entered looking breathtaking, holding her cascading white orchid bouquet, and every head turned to watch her walk toward her groom. Their vows felt deeply personal, and the space fell silent in the best way — all eyes on them, framed by candlelight and the stunning grid of windows behind them. When they shared their first kiss as husband and wife, the room erupted in applause while family and friends celebrated from just steps away. This ceremony was the perfect example of how an indoor wedding can feel just as warm, romantic, and emotional as an outdoor celebration — especially when paired with intentional details, soft lighting, and live music that moves every moment along seamlessly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1770229149013-IXMLWO8QF05JGXYPPV6M/The-Harmac-Wedding+%2816%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Cate & Tyler - The Wedding Reception at The Harmac Cate and Tyler’s wedding reception was the perfect blend of timeless romance and all-out celebration, unfolding in an atmosphere that felt warm, intimate, and electric all at once.

The reception began with heartfelt speeches and toasts that brought both laughter and happy tears. Family and friends shared stories that celebrated Cate and Tyler’s relationship, their journey together, and the deep love surrounding them. The room was filled with emotion as guests leaned in, laughed loudly, and wiped away tears—setting the tone for a night rooted in connection and joy.

On their very first date, when conversation hit an awkward lull, Cate pulled a mini emergency Yahtzee kit out of her purse. That simple moment became an inside joke and a defining part of their love story… so of course it had to make an appearance on their wedding day. Every guest received their own Yahtzee score sheet, dice, and branded pencil, turning cocktail hour into a spontaneous table-to-table tournament. Nothing brings people together quite like rolling for a full house with a drink in hand. And because Cate and Tyler are the life-of-the-party type, they didn’t stop there. The couple built custom black-and-white beer pong tables for their guests, complete with sleek cups and personalized ping pong balls stamped with their last name and wedding date. It was classy, playful, and a total hit — guests were lining up all night to play. These weren’t just wedding favors… they were part of the experience. A nod to the beginning of their story, and an open invitation for everyone to relax, laugh, and have fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1770229151303-NV9AKK5UELG9M5064M11/The-Harmac-Wedding+%2821%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Cate & Tyler - The Bride… Turned DJ?! One of the Night’s Best Surprises Just when guests thought they’d seen it all, Cate proved she still had a few surprises up her sleeve. In the middle of the reception, the bride slipped behind the DJ booth, threw on a pair of headphones, and started mixing her own music. The crowd went wild. Microphone in hand, Cate amped up the room, dropped the beat, and turned the dance floor into a full-blown party. It was one of those unforgettable wedding moments — the kind guests talk about for years because it was unexpected, personal, and ridiculously fun. She wasn’t just the bride of the night… she was the headliner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1770229155065-2DTQFA5U0S0XNPIZXU9K/The-Harmac-Wedding+%2837%29.jpg Portfolio -

In true Taylor-and-Steven fashion, their wedding favors were just as personal. Winnie’s Dog Treat Bar was a guest favorite, offering an assortment of dog treats for guests to take home to their own pups, straight from the heart (and paws) of the couple’s beloved dog, Winnie. It was a sweet, unexpected detail that had guests smiling and talking long after cocktail hour ended. The transition from cocktail hour to reception was just as thoughtful, thanks to their champagne wall seating chart.

Black cross-back chairs grounded the design and complemented the venue’s clean lines and industrial touches, tying everything together seamlessly.

Complete with custom signage inspired by Winnie herself, the treat bar doubled as both a wedding favor and a sweet nod to the dog who clearly holds a special place in Taylor and Steven’s hearts. Having a dog-friendly venue made it possible for Taylor and Steven to fully personalize their wedding day, ensuring it reflected not just their love for each other, but their love for their family—including Winnie. From walking down the aisle to appearing in portraits and inspiring one of the most memorable wedding favors of the day, Winnie’s presence made their celebration even more meaningful. For couples dreaming of a dog-friendly wedding venue in Iowa City, The Midnight Gem offers the flexibility, space, and modern elegance needed to include every member of the family—paws included. Taylor and Steven’s wedding is the perfect example of how incorporating your dog can add personality, joy, and unforgettable moments to your wedding day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1770224175294-TOLC14GLYO42CC0O2TU2/The-Midnight-Gem-Wedding-Venue+%2831%29.jpg Portfolio -

The Dubuque Arboretum Wedding, Ashley & Adam - Getting Ready at The Dubuque Arboretum The getting ready experience at the Dubuque Arboretum is one of the many reasons we absolutely love planning weddings here. From the moment the morning begins, the space offers a calm, intimate atmosphere that sets the tone for the entire wedding day. Surrounded by natural light, neutral backdrops, and thoughtfully designed interiors, the Arboretum provides the perfect environment for brides, grooms, and their wedding parties to relax, connect, and truly enjoy the moments leading up to the ceremony. One of the biggest advantages of getting ready at the Dubuque Arboretum is how effortlessly it supports both functionality and aesthetics. There’s ample space for hair and makeup teams to work comfortably, room for bridesmaids and groomsmen to spread out, and beautiful corners ideal for detail shots, candid moments, and emotional first looks. These spaces photograph beautifully, allowing wedding galleries to tell a full, seamless story—from morning preparations to the final dance of the night. We also love how the getting ready experience here feels intentional and unhurried. Being on-site eliminates unnecessary travel, keeps everyone on schedule, and allows couples to stay fully present throughout the day. Instead of rushing from hotel rooms to ceremony locations, couples can enjoy a smooth, stress-free transition from getting ready to walking down the aisle. This flow is especially valuable for outdoor ceremonies at the Arboretum, where timing and coordination play such an important role. For couples planning a Dubuque Arboretum wedding, the getting ready portion of the day becomes more than just prep—it becomes part of the celebration. Laughter with your closest friends, quiet moments of reflection, and heartfelt reactions all unfold in a space that feels warm, welcoming, and deeply connected to nature.

These book stacks were paired with black and gold lanterns, glass candle holders, and tall taper candles, creating depth and dimension across the tables. The mix of heights and textures gave the tables a collected, storybook feel—perfect for a Harry Potter wedding in Iowa that leaned into atmosphere rather than novelty. Lush floral arrangements in deep reds, soft neutrals, and greenery were tucked throughout the tablescape, tying the reception design back to the ceremony florals and overall color palette. The candlelight flickering against the gold accents and lanterns created a warm glow that filled the room as the evening went on, making the space feel cozy, romantic, and intentionally styled. Even the table numbers were thoughtfully displayed, framed and styled to feel cohesive with the rest of the décor. This table design is a beautiful example of how Carper Vineyard wedding décor can be both thematic and elegant. Kristen and Matt’s reception tables prove that a Harry Potter–inspired wedding table design can feel elevated, immersive, and incredibly photogenic when it’s rooted in texture, color, and intentional styling. For couples planning a vineyard wedding in Iowa City or North Liberty, this reception décor offers endless inspiration for creating a guest experience that feels magical without sacrificing sophistication. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1769032438855-QE6Z2PR5OGMJLTZGFPIB/Carper-vineyard-wedding+%283%29.jpg Portfolio - Carper Vineyard & Winery Wedding, Kristen & Matt - The Canvas Guest Book Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difKristen and Matt’s wedding guestbook at Carper Vineyard was a beautiful reflection of who they are as a couple—thoughtful, personal, and rooted in their shared love of reading. Instead of a traditional guestbook, they chose a custom canvas print featuring illustrated stacks of books, inviting guests to sign their names and well-wishes directly on the spines. It was a creative, interactive detail that immediately caught guests’ attention and fit seamlessly into their Harry Potter–inspired wedding design. This book-themed wedding guestbook felt especially meaningful because it doubled as future home décor. After the wedding day, the signed canvas will be hung in their home, transforming guest signatures into a lasting piece of art rather than something tucked away on a shelf. Each “book spine” now represents a loved one who helped celebrate their marriage, making it a sentimental keepsake they’ll see and appreciate every day. Styled alongside vintage books, candles, and magical details, the guestbook display blended effortlessly into the overall reception aesthetic. It’s a perfect example of how a unique wedding guestbook idea can feel intentional and elevated while still being deeply personal. For couples planning a Carper Vineyard wedding or looking for creative alternatives to a traditional guestbook—especially fellow book lovers—Kristen and Matt’s signed book-spine canvas is a truly inspiring way to preserve memories long after the wedding day ends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1769032438855-QE6Z2PR5OGMJLTZGFPIB/Carper-vineyard-wedding+%283%29.jpg Portfolio -

Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Erin & Ryan - A Mountain-Top First Look at the Summit Before their ceremony at Deer Creek Mountain Camp, Erin and Ryan shared one of the most breathtaking first looks I’ve ever seen—right at the top of the mountain summit. Surrounded by sweeping Colorado views and rolling ridgelines, the moment felt like something out of a Western fairytale. Ryan stood waiting in his cowboy hat and vest, hands tucked in his pockets, with the wind brushing through the trees behind him. When Erin walked up in her long-sleeved lace gown, holding her skirt as she made her way across the rocks, the whole scene felt incredibly peaceful. And when he finally turned around? Pure emotion. He instantly lit up, pulling her into a hug that said everything words couldn’t. Their first look was everything couples dream of for a Colorado mountain wedding—private, emotional, and surrounded by scenery that feels untouched and endless. If you’re planning a Deer Creek Mountain Camp wedding or a mountain summit first look, this location is truly unmatched. After the first look, we stayed at the summit for their bridal portraits—and these photos are honestly a photographer’s dream. The mountains stretched for miles behind them, giving that dramatic Colorado wedding backdrop that couples travel across the country for. Erin’s dress flowed effortlessly in the mountain breeze, highlighting every bit of lace detail as she walked across the rocky overlook. Her warm-toned bouquet, full of dried grasses, eucalyptus, and burnt orange florals, tied perfectly into the rustic Western feel of their day. Ryan looked every bit the mountain groom—jeans, boots, a brown vest, and a cowboy hat that completed the look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1763053129833-S8D58XXZXXWORAODVD71/Deer_Creek_Wedding_Ceremony+%2812%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Erin & Ryan - Erin & Ryan’s Mountain Ceremony at Deer Creek Mountain Camp Erin and Ryan exchanged vows in one of the most breathtaking ceremony settings Colorado has to offer. Deer Creek Mountain Camp created the perfect backdrop for their rustic-Western wedding day—towering aspens, quiet forest air, and those soft pockets of sunlight that make everything feel a little more magical. The ceremony space was styled with a handcrafted wooden arch wrapped in burnt orange draping, antler accents, and textured florals that tied their whole Western aesthetic together. A pair of wagon wheels leaned against the base, and a cowhide rug completed the look, grounding the ceremony in that authentic mountain-rustic charm. It felt intimate, warm, and perfectly them. As Erin walked down the aisle in her long-sleeved lace gown, the forest seemed to quiet around her. Ryan, wearing a cowboy hat, vest, and boots, watched her with the biggest smile—one that never left his face for the rest of the ceremony. Their boys stood proudly beside them, dressed in matching vests and hats, completely stealing the show with their cowboy-cut charm. The officiant shared heartfelt stories that reflected their journey—two people who found a deep, steady love and built a beautiful blended family along the way. With the aspen leaves rustling behind them and their loved ones gathered among the trees, Erin and Ryan held hands, exchanged vows, and promised forever. The moment they were pronounced husband and wife, Ryan swept Erin into the most perfect dip-kiss, and the entire forest filled with cheers. It was the kind of ceremony that felt personal, sentimental, and unmistakably Colorado—raw beauty, joy, and a love story rooted in home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1763053132962-4KXPLK901B95AKW38ME7/Deer_Creek_Wedding_Reception+%2839%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Erin & Ryan - Rustic Western Reception at Deer Creek Mountain Camp Following their emotional mountaintop ceremony, Erin and Ryan celebrated the night away with a warm, rustic Western reception inside the lodge at Deer Creek Mountain Camp. The space was transformed into a cozy, inviting setting that blended elegance with rugged mountain charm—perfect for a Colorado mountain wedding reception. Their tables were draped in crisp white linens and accented with burnt-orange runners that tied in beautifully with their fall-inspired palette. Each place setting featured gold flatware, crystal glassware, and beaded chargers, creating an elevated yet earthy feel. The centerpieces were a stunning mix of eucalyptus, dried grasses, antlers, and pops of rust-toned florals—bringing that Western-meets-mountain aesthetic to life. Soft amber lighting and the glow from the stone fireplace added to the intimate atmosphere, making the entire room feel warm, romantic, and quintessentially Colorado. Their sweetheart table mirrored the style of the reception, adorned with pampas grass, eucalyptus, and bold terracotta draping. Wooden “Mr. & Mrs.” signage and antique-style vases completed the setup, giving the newlyweds their own beautifully curated space at the center of it all. One of the standout details was their wedding cake—a two-tier semi-naked design decorated with dried florals and greenery that matched Erin’s bouquet. The topper, a silhouette of a cowboy and cowgirl riding off together, captured their Western personalities perfectly and became such a sweet, personal focal point of the reception. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1763053105449-Y4LLXDT5ITTSQL27NDUN/Deer_Creek_Wedding+%285%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Erin & Ryan - The Bridal Party: Warm Fall Tones & Western Charm Erin and Ryan’s bridal party perfectly captured the heart of their rustic Western wedding at Deer Creek Mountain Camp, embracing a rich fall palette that looked absolutely stunning against the backdrop of Colorado’s aspen trees.

As the sun dipped toward the horizon, the couple wandered through golden meadows and quiet aspen groves, soaking in the stillness between the festivities. Erin’s long-sleeved lace gown trailed beautifully behind her, picking up flecks of light and movement with every step. Ryan, in his cowboy hat, vest, and boots, looked completely in his element—like the rugged mountain groom he was always meant to be.

Lauren & Aaron’s Backyard Wedding - Getting Ready in the Morning Lauren started her wedding morning in the most peaceful way — inside a beautifully styled Airbnb chosen specifically for its dreamy light, elegant details, and photo-worthy charm. Rather than dealing with the chaos of getting ready at home, she created a relaxed space where she could enjoy the morning without stress. Sunlight streamed through large windows, highlighting her gown as it hung delicately in the hallway. She spent slow, sweet moments lounging in a vintage clawfoot bathtub with a mimosa in hand — easily some of the most iconic and personality-filled photos of the day. Her bridesmaids gathered outside in matching sage satin pajamas, wrapping her in hugs and laughter against a backdrop of lush florals. The whole morning felt calm, intentional, and joyful — the perfect way to start a backyard wedding. By choosing a separate space for getting ready, Lauren not only kept her home exactly as it was, but ensured her morning was as smooth, beautiful, and stress-free as possible. It set the tone for a day full of love, fun, and unforgettable little moments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1763051620770-1QTWR8HOLTVOTNRGW1EQ/Iowa_Backyard_Wedding+%2860%29.jpg Portfolio - Lauren & Aaron’s Backyard Wedding - Backyard Wedding Ceremony in Iowa – Cozy, Personal, and Full of Heart Lauren and Aaron exchanged vows in the sweetest corner of their backyard, transforming their own property into a meaningful ceremony space. With rows of charming vintage pews, pampas grass arrangements, and a custom wooden backdrop, their Iowa backyard wedding felt intimate, elegant, and completely them. The surrounding trees and open sky made it feel like a private garden chapel—proof that a backyard wedding can be just as breathtaking as a traditional venue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1763051597319-BULAA672HJ5U607OBKVP/Iowa_Backyard_Wedding+%2826%29.jpg Portfolio - Lauren & Aaron’s Backyard Wedding - Backyard Wedding Reception – Cozy Tents, Yard Games, & Endless Fun After the ceremony, guests made their way to the backyard reception tent, where long farmhouse tables were dressed with lace runners, greenery, candles, and vintage-inspired place settings. It was the perfect blend of rustic charm and romantic detail, proving that backyard receptions can be every bit as elegant as a traditional venue. One of the biggest highlights of the night was the beverage burros — yes, miniature donkeys delivering drinks! They wandered through the reception, greeting guests and serving refreshments straight from their saddlebags. It was adorable, unforgettable, and an instant hit. The evening continued with classic wedding traditions, starting with heartfelt toasts and speeches that had everyone laughing and tearing up. Lauren and Aaron cut their cake together, shared a sweet bite, and then moved into the always-popular shoe game, where guests learned even more about the couple and their relationship. There wasn’t a moment without laughter. Because it was a backyard wedding, the reception wasn’t just beautiful — it was interactive. Guests enjoyed yard games spread throughout the lawn, from cornhole to ring toss and more, giving everyone something fun to do between dancing and socializing. Kids ran around and played, adults competed, and the relaxed atmosphere made the night feel warm and welcoming. As the sun set, twinkle lights under the tent glowed softly, drinks poured, music played, and the celebration carried on well into the night. It was the perfect example of how personal, joyful, and unforgettable a backyard wedding reception can be.

It was the perfect surprise touch and had everyone smiling, laughing, and lining up for photos. Beverage burros are becoming a popular trend for outdoor weddings and rustic receptions in Iowa, and these two stole the show. They trotted around serving drinks, giving guests a fun and interactive experience that fit perfectly with the relaxed backyard vibe. And if that wasn’t adorable enough, Lauren made sure her favorite feathery girl got in on the celebration, too—her beloved chicken, Betty White. Fluffy, fabulous, and living up to her iconic name, Betty White posed for the sweetest portraits with the bride and groom. Those candid moments added so much personality, proving that backyard weddings give couples the freedom to include the pets they love most. Between the beverage burros and Betty White, this Iowa backyard wedding had some of the cutest wedding guests we’ve ever seen—and the photos are pure joy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1763051609544-WY36T2DFEFOC3P3A0Y0G/Iowa_Backyard_Wedding+%2846%29.jpg Portfolio -

The head table featured a lush ground floral installation bursting with garden roses, delicate ranunculus, and airy stock—creating a stunning focal point beneath the glow of twinkle lights draped across the ceiling. And instead of one cake, Mya and Ryan opted for an entire vintage-style cake display—a full dessert table lined with pastel-colored mini cakes, intricate piping, and sweet details that looked straight out of a retro bakery window. The variety of colors and textures not only looked picture-perfect but gave guests a fun and unique dessert experience. As the sun set, the celebration came alive with dancing and laughter, but one of the biggest highlights of the night was the photo booth.

With the Iowa summer sun glowing overhead and wildflowers stretching in every direction, it felt like a scene from a movie. As Mya stepped toward Ryan in her gown, surrounded by pops of orange, pink, yellow, and red blooms, the moment was both emotional and surreal. He turned, saw her, and instantly pulled her into a hug — the kind of reaction every bride dreams of. Their first look was quiet, heartfelt, and completely genuine, giving them a chance to slow down and take in the day before the ceremony, just the two of them. Wilson’s Orchard is famous for its natural beauty, and this first look shows exactly why so many couples choose it for their Iowa outdoor wedding. The open fields, colorful flowers, and sweeping green hills create a naturally romantic backdrop that doesn’t need any extra décor. Every photo feels warm, joyful, and effortless — the kind of portraits couples frame on their walls for years to come. For brides and grooms debating whether to do a first look, Mya and Ryan’s photos are the perfect inspiration.

Their bouquets were overflowing with bright, garden-inspired blooms that mirrored the orchard’s natural beauty. Instead of sticking to one color, Mya embraced a joyful palette — vibrant oranges, sunny yellows, soft pinks, creamy whites, and bold pops of fuchsia. It was fresh, modern, and completely unforgettable. Layers of ranunculus, roses, stock, peonies, and wildflower-inspired stems gave the bouquets a full, textured look. Some blooms were open and lush, while others were tight buds just beginning to uncurl — a detail that made the arrangements feel organic and alive. The florals weren’t overly structured or formal; they felt like they were gathered straight from a summer garden, making them the perfect match for an outdoor Iowa wedding. One of the most unique photos from the day featured Mya peeking through a halo of flowers, her engagement ring catching the sunlight while soft petals framed her face. It’s the kind of floral moment photographers dream about — playful, romantic, and bursting with color. The bridesmaids carried smaller versions of the same style, each bouquet filled with personality and blooms that tied beautifully into their pastel dresses. Together, the flowers added movement and energy to every photo, especially during portraits in the orchard and flower field. For couples looking for wedding floral inspiration in Iowa, this style is the perfect blend of whimsy and elegance. Bright, layered blooms photograph beautifully outside, stand out in natural light, and bring so much life to an outdoor ceremony or reception. Mya’s bouquet proves that color can be timeless — and when paired with Wilson’s Orchard as the backdrop, it’s pure magic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1763050773765-1KUM5WJLXG44VS0AEOOP/Wilsons_Orchard_Wedding+%288%29.jpg Portfolio -

Salisbury House & Gardens Wedding, Ashlyn & Troy - Decorating the Salisbury House & Gardens Ashlyn & Troy’s wedding décor transformed the historic grounds of Salisbury House & Gardens in Des Moines into a dreamy open-air garden reception. Beneath a billowing ivory tent with soft draping and sheer panels, guests stepped into a scene that felt straight out of a European estate wedding — elegant, airy, and overflowing with floral detail. Long family-style tables filled the lawn, each dressed in crisp white linens and finished with gold-rimmed chargers, vintage-style flatware, and pastel goblets in soft pinks, blues, and greens. The mixed-glassware details brought a playful, romantic touch that paired beautifully with the historic Tudor architecture of Salisbury House, creating a balance of old-world charm and modern luxury. Down each table ran lush, garden-style floral arrangements featuring blush roses, buttery spray roses, pale blue hydrangea, and touches of soft greenery — echoing the manicured gardens of the venue itself. Gold taper candles flickered throughout the tablescape, adding warmth and highlighting the textured floral centerpieces as the sun began to set. At the head of the tent, flowing draped fabric created a statement backdrop adorned with towering urn arrangements, tying the entire dinner setting together. The aesthetic felt elegant but inviting — refined enough for an estate wedding, yet intimate enough to feel personal, romantic, and uniquely “them.” Every detail worked harmoniously with the historic wedding venue: the cream textiles mirrored the limestone exterior, the pastel palette softened the dramatic nature of the grounds, and the candlelight made the reception glow as evening settled across Salisbury House & Gardens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1762991494440-7TZ9AERBK7YQ90OALAKV/Salisbury_House_Wedding_Ceremony+%285%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House & Gardens Wedding, Ashlyn & Troy - “I Do” at Salisbury House & Gardens Ashlyn and Troy chose to host their ceremony outdoors at Salisbury House & Gardens, surrounded by towering trees, lush greenery, and the timeless architecture that makes this Des Moines wedding venue so unique.

The aisle was lined with clusters of blooms in blush, soft peach, and dusty blue, creating a floral-lined pathway leading to the altar. White chairs were decorated with ivory satin bows, keeping the look classic while tying into the couple’s pastel color palette.

Instead of a traditional ballroom, dinner was hosted beneath a clear-top tent draped in soft ivory fabric and illuminated by sparkling chandeliers. The transparent ceiling allowed the sunlight to pour through during golden hour and created a magical candlelit glow as the evening settled in — the perfect balance of outdoor charm and elegant estate ambiance. Long banquet tables stretched beneath the tent, dressed in crisp linens and lined with warm wooden cross-back chairs. Each place setting featured ornate gold chargers, pastel pressed-glass goblets, custom printed menus tied in ribbon, and vintage-inspired gold flatware. Down the center of every table, lush garden-style floral arrangements overflowed with blush roses, peach ranunculus, pale blue hydrangeas, and delicate greenery, echoing the manicured landscape of Salisbury House. Gold taper candles flickered throughout, adding warmth and dimension to the pastel tablescape. Guests found their seats using a whimsical, pastel-painted seating chart display adorned with wax-sealed escort cards and surrounded by matching florals. Everywhere you looked, vintage accents brought the design together — ornate frames, antique mirrors, chinoiserie touches, and soft patterned linens that gave the reception an elevated, old-world feel. As the sun dipped behind the trees, the newlyweds cut their tiered wedding cake beneath the glowing chandelier, surrounded by fresh florals and the natural stone terrace of the estate. The entire reception felt intimate, timeless, and beautifully curated — a romantic open-air celebration that showcased the historic beauty of Salisbury House & Gardens while bringing Ashlyn and Troy’s pastel garden vision to life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1762991487576-R73OAD24RBYDISE5FGVX/Salisbury_House_Wedding+%287%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House & Gardens Wedding, Ashlyn & Troy - The Bridal Party Details Ashlyn’s bridal party perfectly complemented the romantic garden aesthetic of Salisbury House & Gardens with a stunning mix of soft blue gowns in varied textures, silhouettes, and floral patterns.

A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - Galinda’s Wedding Day Details Glinda’s Wicked-inspired wedding day was nothing short of magical, bringing her iconic sparkle and charm into every detail. Instead of following tradition, this bride leaned into blush tones, hot pink accents, and whimsical accessories that reflected her vibrant personality. From her dazzling tiara to her bold pink heels, every element of her look was designed to shine—reminding modern brides that wedding style should be about self-expression, not rules. Her vow book, embossed in gold, paired perfectly with delicate jewelry, a butterfly-topped perfume bottle, and a vintage golden hand mirror that added a touch of timeless elegance. The flat lay details told a story of romance and individuality, blending fresh blooms in soft pinks and ivory with layers of satin draping and glamorous accents. These curated touches brought Glinda’s world to life, showing that inspiration can come from anywhere—even Broadway. Brides who love the idea of a Wicked-inspired wedding can take notes from Glinda’s playful yet elegant style: embrace color, sparkle, and personality in every choice, from your shoes to your bouquet. At the heart of Glinda’s wedding day details is the reminder that weddings no longer need to fit into a single mold. For brides who dream of a fairytale moment that feels authentically theirs, a Wicked wedding theme offers endless possibilities. Whether you channel Glinda’s bubbly energy or Elphaba’s fierce confidence, the magic lies in creating a day that celebrates who you are. With sparkle, bold fashion, and a little theatrical flair, your wedding can be just as enchanting as a Broadway production. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1753815731590-FCC4C18ZYB641UZCNI03/Ahavah-Wedding-Venue-Bridal-Suite+%2817%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - Getting Ready with Galinda The bridal suite at Ahavah Venue is thoughtfully designed to be both functional and serene, offering the perfect space for pre-ceremony moments. With its soft natural light, elegant finishes, and cozy furnishings, it creates a calm and inviting atmosphere where brides and their wedding party can relax, sip champagne, and get ready in style. The suite includes a private bathroom for convenience, ample mirrors and seating for hair and makeup, and beautifully styled touches that make it feel like a home away from home. It’s not just a room—it’s a space where meaningful memories begin. Now, onto the Wicked details… These Glinda-inspired getting ready photos are pure Wicked magic with a bridal twist! Channeling everyone's favorite good witch, the bride shines in a voluminous pink tulle robe that’s as bubbly and fabulous as Glinda herself. With heart-shaped sunglasses, playful tea sets, sparkling decor, and a touch of whimsy, every detail exudes charm and theatrical flair. Captured in a space that feels like a glam dressing room straight out of Oz, this moment is more than just prep—it's a celebration of personality, pink, and pure joy. Perfect for brides who want their wedding day to start with a little sparkle and a whole lot of fun. One of our favorite additions to Glinda’s wedding day details was her whimsical bubble wand—a playful, handmade piece that truly brought the magic of Wicked to life. Created by Lauren, owner of Elizabeth Bliss Events, the wand was crafted from icicle Christmas decorations, a pink-painted styrofoam ball, and enough hot glue to sell out a craft store. More than just a prop, it was a statement piece—capturing Glinda’s lighthearted, bubbly spirit and instantly setting the tone for the entire shoot. Its presence added a touch of theatrical charm and humor, reminding us that weddings can (and should) be a little magical, a little extra, and completely personal. It was the perfect finishing touch to a wedding design rooted in fantasy, fun, and unforgettable details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1761146951613-X4UUYE2PUEPHML1Q80WN/Ahavah-Wedding-Venue+%2830%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - The Bridal Gown Glinda’s wedding dress from this Wicked-inspired celebration is the epitome of fairy-tale elegance with a modern, theatrical twist. Featuring a strapless, structured bodice and a full, flowing skirt, the gown exudes whimsy and grace. The romantic silhouette nods to Glinda’s iconic bubble-gown moment, while the delicate detailing and ethereal fabric add a fresh, bridal touch. We decided to pair the gown with a long cathedral veil that was scattered with soft pink floral appliqués, and then finished the bridal look with a pastel bouquet and her signature bubble wand, the look is pure magic—perfect for a bride who wants to feel like a good witch stepping into her happily ever after. Glinda’s wedding jewelry was the perfect blend of elegance, sparkle, and fairytale charm—fitting for the Good Witch herself. Her lab-created pink diamond wedding ring was a stunning showstopper, radiating romance and individuality while reflecting her signature blush palette. She paired it with morganite drop earrings accented by delicate diamonds, adding a soft, feminine glow that beautifully framed her face. Around her neck, a whimsical gold star necklace adorned with tiny diamonds offered a celestial nod to Glinda’s ethereal aura, layered effortlessly with a classic diamond tennis necklace for an extra touch of glam. Every piece was thoughtfully chosen to enhance her radiant bridal look, balancing playful magic with refined sophistication. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1758903082179-10KGPZ9ROITSQY6BVRVF/Ahavah-Wedding-Wicked-Theme+%2824%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - Elphaba’s Details Elphaba’s wedding day details were a stunning blend of moody enchantment and unapologetic individuality. Designed with her iconic edge in mind, the flatlay featured her signature black witch hat and a beautifully styled grimoire, grounding the scene in spellbinding charm. Rich green and purple florals, jeweled accessories, and deep-toned satin created a dramatic contrast to Glinda’s soft, pink palette—perfectly representing Elphaba’s powerful presence. Dark, elegant details like black ribboned invitations, emerald earrings, and a vintage spell box added layers of personality and storytelling. Every piece whispered of magic, mystery, and a love story as bold and unforgettable as the Wicked Witch herself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1753815727588-4UUU1AVRY2UY7HXKXO7F/Ahavah-Wedding-Venue+%2839%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - Getting Ready with Elphaba The second bridal suite at Ahavah Venue is a moody, bespoke space thoughtfully crafted for the groom and his party to unwind and enjoy real moments before the big “I do.” Located in the lower-level of the adjoining bridal house, this masculine retreat is furnished with a pool table, TV, and mini fridge—ideal for hanging out, sharing laughs, and staying relaxed as the excitement builds. It’s part clubhouse, part lounge: rich textures and subdued lighting set the tone, while comfortable seating invites camaraderie. For Elphaba’s getting ready moments, we reimagined the groom’s lounge as her bridal suite—and it couldn’t have been a more perfect fit. The moody, masculine space—with its dark walls, vintage textures, and rich wood tones—offered the ideal contrast to Glinda’s light and airy prep area. This dramatic setting instantly gave off Elphaba vibes, embracing the darker aesthetic of her character while still feeling elegant and intentional. The space became a magical haven where powerful, witchy energy met quiet, reflective moments. It was an unexpected yet beautifully fitting twist that brought depth and authenticity to the overall design. Elphaba’s getting ready photos are a moody, magical dream—infused with vintage charm and powerful witchy energy. Set against a dramatic black brick wall, the space was styled with rich, storybook elements like dark vintage luggage trunks, a carved wooden vanity, and a deep green antique armchair. Her grimoire and iconic black witch hat were thoughtfully placed among mossy accents, aged books, and mystical trinkets, creating a scene that felt straight out of her spellbinding world. The vibe was darkly elegant, mysterious, and full of character—perfectly capturing the essence of a bride who’s anything but ordinary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1753815710594-QGNLEWJLZ67QAVVNV1V9/Ahavah-Wedding-Venue+%283%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - The Bedazzled bridal suit Elphaba’s bedazzled black suit radiates unapologetic confidence and feminine power, bringing a bold twist to bridal fashion with a look that’s equal parts elegant and edgy. The tailored silhouette, accented with shimmering black sequins and satin lapels, commands attention while staying effortlessly chic. Paired with sleek trousers and statement heels, the ensemble channels the spirit of a woman who owns her magic and isn’t afraid to stand out. Set against a moody backdrop filled with books and vintage charm, this modern take on Wicked-inspired fashion proves that wedding day style doesn’t have to fit the mold—it just has to fit you. When designing Elphaba’s wedding day looks, we knew we didn’t want to limit her to just one version of bridal fashion—because Elphaba, by nature, breaks boundaries. We wanted to imagine her in both a powerful black suit and a dramatic wedding gown to reflect the complexity and depth of her character. The suit embodied her strength, confidence, and unapologetic individuality—a bold “I do” to doing things her own way. On the other hand, the gown allowed us to explore her softness, her romance, and her vulnerability, proving that power and femininity can coexist beautifully. By showcasing both styles, we celebrated the idea that a bride doesn’t have to choose one side of herself—she can be fierce, emotional, elegant, and rebellious all in the same day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1753816173940-3KN5FLV0WM2K1EQQNELQ/Ahavah-Wedding-Venue+%2835%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - Elphaba’s Wedding Gown Elphaba’s black wedding gown is a breathtaking statement of strength, individuality, and dark romance. Draped in layers of shimmering black tulle embroidered with bold botanical motifs, the dress flows with a moody elegance that perfectly reflects her fierce, enchanting spirit. The corset-style bodice and off-the-shoulder silhouette add a touch of drama and femininity, while a matching black veil completes the look with witchy sophistication. Paired with a bouquet of deep greens and purples, the gown feels both rooted in nature and charged with mystique—proving that bridal beauty doesn’t have to be traditional to be utterly spellbinding. Elphaba’s wedding jewelry was a striking blend of elegance, symbolism, and enchantment—perfectly embodying her bold, grounded spirit. At the center was her emerald wedding ring, encircled with delicate diamonds, representing strength, growth, and enduring love. Around her neck, she layered two meaningful pieces: a classic emerald and diamond pendant necklace that added timeless sophistication, and a whimsical emerald and clover diamond necklace that brought in a subtle nod to nature and luck. Her emerald and diamond bangle bracelet wrapped her wrist in refined sparkle, while emerald cluster drop earrings framed her face with dramatic charm. Together, each piece told a story—one of power, purpose, and a love as rare and radiant as the bride herself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1753815710751-52WJ9VR3L1HXQGKY16X9/Ahavah-Wedding-Venue+%285%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - The Stationery Every aspect of this shoot had to be epic, and the stationary and signage were no exception. I knew I wanted Invited DSM to provide these, as I’ve been obsessed with Kate’s work for awhile now! This Wicked-inspired wedding stationery suite beautifully bridges the worlds of Glinda and Elphaba, blending romance with an enchanting edge. Featuring bold florals, whimsical shapes, and an art deco-style invitation, the design feels both vintage and theatrical—perfect for a wedding rooted in fantasy and flair. Pops of pink and gold reflect Glinda’s signature sparkle, while deep greens and botanical illustrations nod to Elphaba’s earthy, mystical essence. From the butterfly RSVP card to the gilded perfume bottle and floral accents, every detail tells a story of two worlds colliding in harmony, creating an invitation suite that feels as magical and meaningful as the love it represents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1753815717313-JR6HQ9YC85MGDLR19J3J/Ahavah-Wedding-Venue+%2819%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - The Ceremony Setup I wanted to showcase something truly different for the ceremony—something that didn’t just nod to Wicked’s magic, but fully embraced it in a way that felt immersive, intentional, and completely fresh. Wicked itself feels so magical and whimsical, much like a wedding ceremony should feel, but I wanted to present that magic through a more artistic and unexpected lens. But how would one go about that... I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to incorporate drapery. There’s something so romantic and ethereal about fabric floating in space, and using it for the ceremony backdrop felt like the perfect way to create movement, softness, and visual storytelling all at once. I asked Destiney with Annata Vintage to bring that vision to life using her one-of-a-kind hand-dyed tapestries from The Lovli Co., which brought texture, color variation, and a sense of artistry that felt custom and curated. The layered pastel tones created a dreamlike effect—light catching on each panel, swaying gently with the air—as if magic was literally woven into the space. To ground the softness, we paired the drapery with the ever-trending floral stands from Sweet Violet Co., who created contrasting floral pillars that told the story of Glinda and Elphaba through color, structure, and movement. The result was a ceremony space that felt elevated, imaginative, and unlike anything guests would expect—because when you’re inspired by a world as layered and powerful as Wicked, you don’t just recreate it… you reimagine it. This indoor Wicked-inspired ceremony setup feels like stepping into a fairytale set in Oz, where magic and romance intertwine. Two lush floral pillars frame the altar space—one blooming with soft pinks for Glinda and the other with rich purples and deep greenery for Elphaba—symbolizing the beauty of contrast and unity. Sheer pastel drapes hang elegantly between oversized arched windows, casting a dreamy glow across the space and adding dimension and whimsy. This ceremony design is bold, theatrical, and deeply meaningful—perfect for couples who want a wedding as magical as their love story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1758903075746-NHHB72WKM2HKJ4QPDPYT/Ahavah-Wedding-Wicked-Theme+%2814%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - The Sweetheart Table The drapery Annata Vintage setup was absolute perfection, so we had to repurpose it in as many ways as we could! I decided from early on, that the sweetheart table setup should be designed infront of the drapery, while also repurposing the tall floral stands from the ceremony setup. I wanted the couples sweetheart table to feel intimate, as if they are in their own little world, which in setting them up inside the drapery really helped achieve that look. On the wedding day itself, head tables or sweetheart tables that are setup front and center infront of guests, can sometimes make the couples feel like they are on display, and ultimately make them feel uncomfortable. That’s why I wanted to give a more closed off and intimate feel to their table, so couples who would rather feel a bit more closed off, can achieve this look on their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1758903081712-HM7MUVJXQF1UIZL9H2EH/Ahavah-Wedding-Wicked-Theme+%2823%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - Table Design #1 Much as Wicked focuses on Elphaba, I wanted the table designs to do the same, which is why I stuck with the green linens, and pink accents. While this story follows Galinda as well, I really wanted to highlight that Elphaba was our main focus, and to do so, it starts from the ground up. This Wicked-inspired tablescape is a vibrant celebration of color, texture, and theatrical elegance. A rich emerald green sequin linen sets the stage, nodding to the Land of Oz while adding bold drama and sparkle. Layered place settings with gold flatware, ornate chargers, and whimsical velvet-topped menus bring both refinement and fantasy to the table. Lush floral arrangements in shades of blush, fuchsia, and coral burst with energy, creating a stunning contrast against the deep green backdrop. Soft pink taper candles in gold holders add a romantic glow, while green vintage glassware ties the look together. It’s a strikingly magical design that perfectly blends Glinda’s charm with Elphaba’s edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/d2f8f704-edc3-42d1-b0a1-a045c3a64a3e/Wicked%2C+Arrowhead+%283%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - Table Design #2 This Wicked-inspired table design is a vibrant tribute to the duality of bold elegance and whimsical charm. Set atop a rich emerald green velvet linen—an homage to the Emerald City—each place setting features layered gold chargers, delicate green-trimmed china, and blush pink napkins, creating a luxe yet romantic foundation. The floral runner bursts with color and texture, combining deep plum, fuchsia, lavender, and soft blush blooms to symbolize the powerful magic of both Glinda and Elphaba. The finishing touch? Oversized satin pink bows tied to each gold chiavari chair, adding a playful, Glinda-approved flourish. With every detail thoughtfully curated, this tablescape brings the magic of Oz to life in the most enchanting way. The lush floral runner is the true star of the design, thoughtfully arranged to transition from soft blush and bold fuchsia blooms, through vibrant greens, and into rich lavenders and deep purples. This seamless gradient symbolizes the blending of Glinda’s bright, bubbly energy with Elphaba’s mysterious, grounded strength. It not only adds dynamic color and depth to the table but tells a story—one of two contrasting forces coming together in perfect balance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1761146937537-N6ZXZKI6PGN2UM1JNDSI/Ahavah-Wedding-Cake-Display+%2811%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - The Dessert Display The dessert display turned out better than I ever could have imagined! When I was creating the moodboard, I knew I wanted the display to have a garden feel to it, while still being setup inside. To achieve that look, I set up a greenery wall, placed the dessert display infront of it, and placed floral arrangements around the base to give the feel that there’s a forest growing around it. This Wicked-inspired dessert display is pure theatrical enchantment, blending moody elegance with vintage fantasy. At the center stands a striking black tiered cake adorned with cascading florals, moss, and dark textured details that evoke Elphaba’s powerful essence. The dramatic cake is elevated on a gold stand, surrounded by antique books, candlelit candelabras, and ornate mirrors that reflect the glow of flickering taper candles. Accents like a grimoire, vintage teacups, and a crystal tiara bring in hints of both witches' worlds—combining Glinda’s sparkle with Elphaba’s mystery. With a lush boxwood backdrop adding texture and contrast, this dessert table feels like a scene straight out of Oz—spellbinding, opulent, and unforgettable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1753815720473-ONG86M5IYYSS7ZVNMQBW/Ahavah-Wedding-Venue+%2824%29.jpg Portfolio - A Wicked Wedding Styled Shoot - The Galinda + Elfie Lounge Design This outdoor lounge setup is a fairytale-inspired dream, bringing vintage charm and theatrical flair to a serene garden setting. Featuring a trio of antique velvet chairs—two in a romantic blush pink and one in a rich sage green—the seating arrangement perfectly mirrors the iconic Wicked duo, Glinda and Elphaba. The scene is grounded by a cascading floral display that transitions beautifully from vibrant pinks to soft greens and moody purples, echoing the transformation and harmony found throughout Oz. Layered rugs, delicate teacups, stacked books, and whimsical bud vases add texture and personality, making this lounge not only a visual statement, but an inviting space for guests to relax and revel in the magic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1753815710751-52WJ9VR3L1HXQGKY16X9/Ahavah-Wedding-Venue+%285%29.jpg Portfolio -

For Dina and Dustin’s wedding at The Midnight Gem in Swisher, Iowa, the couple embraced a classic monochrome palette accented with modern details and romantic florals. Their wedding was the perfect example of how this chic design can feel both sophisticated and warm, especially inside one of Iowa’s most beloved modern-industrial wedding venues. Guests were greeted with a stunning custom welcome sign, draped in black satin ribbons and surrounded by lush white floral arrangements. Set against the sleek concrete walls of The Midnight Gem, the sign immediately set the tone for the couple’s sophisticated celebration. This thoughtful touch not only personalized the day but also showcased how modern design can seamlessly blend with soft, romantic elements. Inside the reception hall, Dina and Dustin carried their vision through with long banquet-style tables lined with crisp white linens and table runners. Each table was adorned with slender glass cylinders holding flickering candles, interspersed with single-stem white roses in minimalist bud vases. The look was clean, romantic, and elegant—allowing the candlelight to set a warm, inviting glow as the evening unfolded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1759175762776-UCZC5M70EYIWQNU2IOH1/midnight-gem-wedding+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Dina & Dustin - Dina & Dustin’s Elegant Ceremony at The Midnight Gem When Dina and Dustin envisioned their wedding day, they wanted a ceremony space that was both timeless and romantic. At The Midnight Gem in Swisher, Iowa, they found the perfect backdrop to bring that vision to life. With sweeping white drapery, classic floral arrangements, and the modern-industrial charm of the venue itself, their “I do” moment was nothing short of breathtaking. The couple’s altar design featured layers of flowing white drapery, carefully styled to create movement and depth. The soft fabric contrasted beautifully with the venue’s clean architectural lines, creating a balance of elegance and modern sophistication. Paired with towering floral arrangements on white columns, the ceremony space radiated classic romance while keeping the overall look chic and contemporary. The floral arrangements were a highlight of the ceremony décor. Clusters of roses, hydrangeas, baby’s breath, and delicate greenery filled the tall columns, bringing texture and dimension to the space. These elegant blooms framed Dina and Dustin as they exchanged vows, adding both softness and structure to their altar design. By keeping everything in a white palette, the flowers felt timeless and perfectly aligned with their black-and-white wedding theme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1759175788506-CN3YVZ13TT7QBN2GO5ME/midnight-gem-wedding-decor+%2849%29.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Dina & Dustin - The Cocktail Hour at the midnight gem Dina and Dustin’s cocktail hour at The Midnight Gem was nothing short of unforgettable, blending elegance, fun, and a few intimate moments just for the two of them. Guests were invited out onto the venue’s signature outdoor putting green, where the couple brought their personalities to life with a playful twist: custom golf balls featuring their wedding monogram. Friends and family loved testing their skills, and it quickly became a conversation starter that kept everyone entertained while sipping cocktails and mingling. This creative detail gave their wedding a signature touch and made the cocktail hour feel like an experience rather than just a transition between events. Meanwhile, Dina and Dustin were saving one of their sweetest traditions for themselves. Instead of cutting the cake in front of the entire crowd, the couple slipped away to the bridal suite for a private cake cutting moment. The intimate setting allowed them to soak in a few quiet minutes together, away from the excitement of the reception, while their photographer captured steamy, romantic photos that they’ll cherish forever. It was the perfect reminder that some of the best wedding memories happen in the moments shared just between the couple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1759175773101-0X1WYSABLY3MXTYMNOF8/midnight-gem-wedding+%2821%29.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Dina & Dustin - Lighting Up the Night: Dina & Dustin’s Dance Floor at The Midnight Gem If there was one part of Dina and Dustin’s reception that guests will never forget, it was the dance floor. At The Midnight Gem in Swisher, Iowa, their celebration transformed into a true party with an LED-lit dance floor that set the stage for an unforgettable night of fun. The couple chose a checkered LED dance floor, which created a striking, modern centerpiece in the middle of the reception hall. As the lights shifted colors throughout the night, the floor not only invited guests to dance but also added a vibrant glow to the entire space.

For Megan and Seth’s July wedding at Old Brick in Iowa City, their soft blue and white color palette paired perfectly with the venue’s timeless character, creating a romantic and welcoming atmosphere for their guests. Guests were greeted outside with a custom welcome sign nestled against the iconic brick exterior of Old Brick. Decorated with white hydrangeas and vibrant blue roses, the sign immediately set the tone for a joyful celebration. Personalized with the couple’s names and wedding date, this décor detail made the historic venue feel even more intimate and unique. Inside, the reception was arranged with crisp white tables and chairs, keeping the design classic while letting the couple’s colors shine. The natural light streaming in through Old Brick’s tall arched windows created a bright, airy atmosphere that made the blues pop even more. Paired with simple greenery accents and soft-toned florals, the décor felt timeless yet fresh—perfect for summer. Old Brick’s historic charm is versatile enough to fit many wedding styles, but it was especially stunning for this blue-and-white color palette. The wooden stage, tall ceilings, and vintage organ framed the celebration with character, while the couple’s décor choices softened the space and made it feel romantic and inviting. The open layout also allowed for a seamless transition from ceremony to reception, keeping guests comfortable and connected throughout the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092270110-C3BGE9WXPPMZF14TXCHR/iowa-city-wedding-ceremony+%285%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth - St. Mary’s Church in Iowa City Was the Perfect ceremony venue Every wedding ceremony seeks a space that speaks not only to the hearts of the couple but also to their values, beauty, and personal story. For Megan and Seth, St. Mary of the Visitation Catholic Church in Iowa City was all of that—and more. Here's why this historic and sacred venue served as the ideal backdrop for their deeply meaningful “I do.” St. Mary's parish has a remarkable legacy—founded in 1841 by missionary Father Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli, it's one of Iowa’s earliest Catholic congregations. The present church building, constructed between 1867 and 1869 and consecrated as St. Mary of the Visitation, brings nearly two centuries of spiritual history to every wedding held within its walls. Choosing this venue allowed Megan and Seth to marry not just in a church—but amid generations of devotion and community. Walking into St. Mary’s is an immediate invitation into architectural artistry. The building embodies a harmonious blend of Romanesque Revival and Gothic Revival styles—highlighted by red brick construction, limestone trim, a soaring bell tower crowned with an octagonal spire, and majestic stained-glass windows. Inside, the sanctuary features a broad, open nave—the ceiling vaulting supported by sculptural arches, free of obstructive columns, guiding every guest’s view toward the exquisitely crafted high altar. Crafted by Alert and Kloustie of Cincinnati, the altar depicts the Visitation and is surrounded by statues of saints—the spiritual centerpiece where Megan and Seth exchanged their vows, framed by beauty and grace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092279832-VGMPCLM4OSAWRUJP6QJ5/old-brick-wedding+%2821%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth - Cocktail Hour at Old Brick When it comes to creating an unforgettable wedding experience, the little details during cocktail hour make all the difference. Megan and Seth’s wedding at Old Brick in Iowa City was the perfect example of how couples can blend tradition with creativity. Their choice of a record guestbook turned their cocktail hour into not just a social gathering, but an interactive memory-making experience. Instead of a traditional book, Megan and Seth asked guests to sign a framed vinyl record—a meaningful nod to their love of music. Displayed beautifully during cocktail hour, the record guestbook quickly became a conversation starter. Guests loved the chance to leave personal messages directly on the album, creating a keepsake that Megan and Seth can proudly hang in their home long after the wedding day. Not only did this add a fun and modern twist to the wedding tradition, but it also reflected the couple’s personality and passions. Choosing a record guestbook gave their wedding a personal touch that felt both stylish and sentimental. Cocktail hour isn’t just about passing drinks and appetizers—it’s about giving guests something fun to enjoy while the couple is away. Megan and Seth nailed it by pairing a lively atmosphere at Old Brick with an unexpected guestbook idea that guests loved. The result was a cocktail hour that felt engaging, personalized, and unforgettable. The charm of Old Brick enhanced this creative detail in every way. Its blend of historic character and modern amenities gave guests a comfortable space to enjoy the couple’s unique touches. From the brick exterior where guests were welcomed with personalized signage to the open reception hall where the record was displayed, the venue complemented Megan and Seth’s vision beautifully. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092276949-MH17WM1TDDLNVYGGSKH1/old-brick-wedding+%2816%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth - Wedding Reception at Old Brick in Iowa City The reception décor brought together soft blues, whites, and lush greenery that perfectly matched Megan and Seth’s elegant summer wedding vision. The head table was framed by cascading drapery in pale blue and ivory, accented with twinkle lights and floral arrangements of roses, hydrangeas, and hanging greenery. Against the backdrop of Old Brick’s warm wood tones and tall ceilings, the design felt both timeless and fresh. One of the highlights of the evening was the round of toasts given by family and friends. With glasses raised and laughter filling the room, the couple sat surrounded by their wedding party at the head table, basking in the love and joy of their closest people. The historic stage at Old Brick gave every toast a special spotlight moment, ensuring all eyes were on the couple as they were celebrated in style. No reception is complete without the cake cutting, and Megan and Seth’s was as sweet as it gets. Sharing bites of their simple yet elegant white cake, the couple’s joy was contagious. Guests cheered as the newlyweds shared a laugh and a tender moment, framed beautifully by their floral backdrop. This timeless tradition was made even more memorable in Old Brick’s light-filled reception hall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092270157-CC8D5R8FNGJHN108G4LW/old-brick-wedding+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092271492-TF0XIQSIRYJ7XDJZE9KQ/old-brick-wedding+%283%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092280943-K6DTTF3ZOZM1ZIKJMWIF/old-brick-wedding-decor+%2822%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092271203-9PXE6WUSSPCC321WS9OW/old-brick-wedding+%282%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092273117-GU5A2Z5DI47DKZGRTCGH/old-brick-wedding+%287%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092279832-VGMPCLM4OSAWRUJP6QJ5/old-brick-wedding+%2821%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092272161-JBRX04ZDJKRTMO7ZCBP2/old-brick-wedding+%284%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092270110-C3BGE9WXPPMZF14TXCHR/iowa-city-wedding-ceremony+%285%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092272575-RECLKUWQNV7YZDW427AK/old-brick-wedding+%286%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092273742-4WI6VEWPBL9HGMNT64XQ/old-brick-wedding+%288%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092274252-BAPVU569KD3VYB28D6A4/old-brick-wedding+%289%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092274863-P19NN44JZ6T6HB9PV20D/old-brick-wedding+%2810%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092275515-BPGM1SUG33NS2ZXZ6H2W/old-brick-wedding+%2811%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092275841-9WAPQHCHEV0JJ5JEUCOD/old-brick-wedding+%2812%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092276638-U6ZYM7FRXKYM43GJ4IOE/old-brick-wedding+%2813%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092281147-14JI35QUYADM948RKPYV/old-brick-wedding-reception+%2814%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092276949-MH17WM1TDDLNVYGGSKH1/old-brick-wedding+%2816%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092280137-YKENNV5BJERB5UPLNR34/old-brick-wedding-cake-cutting+%2815%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092277658-1Y617P65TJSS80UJ2IWI/old-brick-wedding+%2817%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092277914-Z1WWAE8HW3QN2KILDN2F/old-brick-wedding+%2818%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092278769-P1713XQ24FUV2MMLRWQ3/old-brick-wedding+%2819%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1757092279055-246BSJPUEDD4RYHZCLVF/old-brick-wedding+%2820%29.jpg Portfolio - Old Brick Wedding, Megan & Seth https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/portfolio/hotel-julien-dubuque-wedding-lauren-amp-jacob monthly 0.5 2025-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/ce4cb989-32c5-497d-b78c-06a34e348859/hotel-julien-wedding+%2814%29.jpg Portfolio - Hotel Julien Dubuque Wedding, Lauren & Jacob - Make it stand out Photo By: Chistina Ney Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1756231804172-635FCEAGXGYKY06PU39B/Hotel-julien-wedding+%2813%29.jpg Portfolio - Hotel Julien Dubuque Wedding, Lauren & Jacob - wedding ceremony at the Cathedral of St Raphael For couples dreaming of a romantic church wedding in Dubuque, Iowa, the Cathedral of St. Raphael and St. Patrick offers one of the most breathtaking ceremony settings in the Midwest.

It framed Jordan and Erik beautifully as they exchanged vows, adding a romantic softness to the already ethereal mountain setting. As if scripted, deer wandered quietly nearby, and the fog settled around the ceremony like a cinematic veil—turning every moment into something otherworldly. The mountains peeked through the mist just enough to remind us of the grandeur surrounding this sacred space. Between the stillness of the forest, the emotion in their vows, and the raw beauty of the day, it felt like time had stopped just for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805183620-2PUQY3CMNTYNJWFVL6KK/deer-creek-wedding-bridal+suite+%288%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805179089-IPTZ5VP4PVU3Q8YNLWDN/deer-creek-wedding+%289%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805185008-XEHCFFWT1IMKKE4K6B9M/deer-creek-wedding-ceremony+%283%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805177603-6X05H4NIYMRLV7YKO6ZA/deer-creek-wedding+%282%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805176438-ZKHTOV8QOCX3U2JES1QX/deer-creek-mountain-camp-wedding+%284%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805176275-43SBVJQDMTSQ9VYHT804/deer-creek-wedding+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805177829-Y3UOWN6E6LO0OC5NCEPN/deer-creek-wedding+%285%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805179815-IEM1A9XNXYLWL3YMFXHV/deer-creek-wedding+%2810%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805180026-XHCL12ANVCR1VFQ7ILLG/deer-creek-wedding+%2811%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805181084-VTQUEMTALWHO4KD6XEOQ/deer-creek-wedding+%2812%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805181223-UENFHB37FLPDUN3QLPXF/deer-creek-wedding+%2813%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805182486-517DRUKH2AMNCER2XKYN/deer-creek-wedding+%2814%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805182540-GM5DTO0RYNPLOMFM8XE6/deer-creek-wedding+%2815%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805183507-O43LCKPACVUXS49U68BZ/deer-creek-wedding+%2816%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805178671-KL7O3IKXKSAKHGG3VJ8S/deer-creek-wedding+%286%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1755805184919-MS7ODX0FZZ9NOMTLV17B/deer-creek-wedding-dinner+%287%29.jpg Portfolio - Deer Creek Mountain Camp Wedding, Jordan & Erik https://www.elizabethblissevents.com/portfolio/olivia-amp-nates-charleston-wedding-at-the-wonderer-amp-yacht-celebration monthly 0.5 2025-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/532dc1da-e031-4082-8cba-f60de2a97c7a/the-wonderer-wedding+%2840%29.jpg Portfolio - Charleston Wedding at The Wonderer, Olivia & Nate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1752081439635-PK9620NSLQUDY16BVLRM/the-wonderer-wedding-ceremony+%2811%29.jpg Portfolio - Charleston Wedding at The Wonderer, Olivia & Nate - The Wonderer Wedding Ceremony: An Intimate Celebration Surrounded by Nature The ceremony took place outdoors on a pristine turf lawn, surrounded by swaying palm trees that added a lush, coastal charm to the setting. At the heart of it all stood a grounded floral arch by Forever Flowers Charleston—an artful blend of natural greenery and soft blooms that framed Olivia and Nate perfectly as they exchanged vows. The seating was thoughtfully curated with natural Thonet chairs from Curated Events, each outfitted with ivory cushions. Arranged in a rounded, angled formation, the layout allowed every guest an unobstructed, intimate view of the bride and groom. With no bridal party present, the focus remained beautifully centered on the couple and their immediate family, heightening the sense of closeness and intention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1752081438137-FUWI4CVW4PGCK7O973IM/the-wonderer-wedding+%2841%29.jpg Portfolio - Charleston Wedding at The Wonderer, Olivia & Nate - The Cocktail Hour at The Wonderer: Rooftop Views, Appetizers & Artistic Touches After the ceremony, guests were invited upstairs to the rooftop bar for cocktail hour—a space that felt both elevated and relaxed. Overlooking The Wonderer’s sparkling pool and lush country club grounds, the rooftop created the perfect transition into the evening. Guests mingled under string lights, enjoyed craft cocktails, and played casual card games, all while taking in the serene Charleston skyline. As they sipped and socialized, guests munched on delicious passed appetizers provided by The Wonderer’s catering team—each bite carefully curated to reflect the fresh, elevated charm of the South Carolina Lowcountry. A standout moment? Local artist Bella Pruitt added a unique and heartfelt touch by live-painting guests during cocktail hour, creating one-of-a-kind keepsakes that perfectly captured the joy of the moment. It was the kind of creative detail that made the experience feel personalized, intentional, and unforgettable. While guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the rooftop, Mercedes and her team worked behind the scenes to completely transform the ceremony lawn into an intimate and elegant reception space for Olivia and Nate’s 75 closest friends and family, who had traveled from all over the country to celebrate their love. The layout featured U-shaped guest seating surrounding a bold black-and-white checkered dance floor from Curated Events—placed front and center to invite connection, energy, and celebration. The grounded floral arch from the ceremony was thoughtfully repurposed to frame the bar and dance floor, creating a lush and romantic focal point that tied the entire evening together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1752081435323-0HB2MMAW71OSZZWO8DB7/the-wonderer-wedding+%2836%29.jpg Portfolio - Charleston Wedding at The Wonderer, Olivia & Nate - Reception at The Wonderer: Elegant Transformation & Timeless Celebration More than 100 bud vases filled with delicate white roses were scattered across the tablescapes, adding soft texture and timeless charm. Tables were styled with natural beige dinnerware and sage green napkins, reflecting the relaxed elegance of the South Carolina coast. Each place setting held a handwritten love note from Olivia and Nate—an intimate, personal gesture that brought deep warmth and gratitude to every seat. Upon entering the country club space, guests were greeted by a vintage phone audio guest book, where they could leave heartfelt messages for the newlyweds to listen to and cherish for years to come. A vintage-inspired photo booth was also incorporated into the reception layout, allowing guests to take home printed keepsakes—capturing the laughter, joy, and celebration of the evening in every snapshot. The newlyweds made their grand entrance and moved straight into their first dances—sweet and sentimental moments that marked the beginning of an unforgettable night. Toasts and speeches followed, leading into a beautifully curated dinner by The Wonderer’s catering team. After dinner came a high-energy tequila line and an iconic cake cutting featuring a heart-shaped raspberry and banana cake from Sugared Magnolia Charleston that was as playful as it was stunning. With the stars above and music filling the air, Olivia and Nate’s reception was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and heartfelt connection—a night that guests will remember forever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1752081437152-KDLTYL5SKK5GZ8O7CH1N/the-wonderer-wedding+%2839%29.jpg Portfolio - Charleston Wedding at The Wonderer, Olivia & Nate - The Next Day: All-White Yacht Party on The Carolina Girl The celebration didn’t end there. The following day, Olivia and Nate hosted a dreamlike all-white party aboard The Carolina Girl yacht, cruising along the breathtaking Charleston coastline. The yacht’s sleek lines, layered decks, and stunning waterfront views set the stage for an effortlessly chic celebration filled with laughter, dancing, and salty sea breeze. Guests arrived in crisp white attire, setting a fresh, celebratory tone that perfectly contrasted the warm Carolina sunset. On the lower deck, dinner tables were scattered with delicate bud vases, echoing the floral simplicity from the day before. A buffet-style dinner was served by Charleston’s beloved Home Team BBQ, offering guests a relaxed and flavorful taste of the South. Upstairs, the upper deck featured the main bar and became the heart of the party. With drinks flowing, music pumping, and the coastline as their backdrop, guests danced the night away beneath the open sky. The ocean breeze, golden hour glow, and infectious joy created a sendoff celebration that felt both surreal and unforgettable. It was the perfect closing chapter to a wedding weekend filled with love, elegance, and memory-making at every turn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/291b7f41-8f17-4efb-b3e5-c0e3dac12ce0/Mercedes+Branding+9.jpg Portfolio - Charleston Wedding at The Wonderer, Olivia & Nate - Wedding Coordinated and Designed by Our Planner Mercedes Burger Mercedes Burger is one of the lead planners at Elizabeth Bliss Events.

A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room - Make it stand out Photo by: Sarah Rolling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751923762793-9ML646A63MO0O99FWH9G/the-tea-room-wedding+%2895%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room - The Inspiration for Million Dollar Man: An Old Money Styled Shoot The mood? Regal, refined, and draped in old-money elegance. Inspired by masculine tailoring and the romance of the Gilded Age, I envisioned A Million Dollar Man as a modern heir to timeless style—a groom with quiet confidence, magnetic presence, and a wardrobe of sharp silhouettes. His bride, graceful and poised, mirrors that sophistication with subtle luxury, tailored softness, and an eye for the details that don’t need to shout to be remembered. Together, they represent a love rooted in legacy, yet alive with a modern spark—intentional, powerful, and endlessly stylish. The Tea Room, with its checkered floors, towering ceilings, and intricate architectural details, became the ideal setting. Clean white walls, sweeping light, and history embedded in every pillar gave us the perfect canvas to craft a world where elegance never goes out of fashion. This was less about trends—and more about timelessness. We styled the couple like modern royalty. The bride wore a tailored gown from Modern Dress, paired with heirloom-inspired pearls and rings from Siebke Hoyt Jewelers. Her groom—our Million Dollar Man—wore a classic black tux from Skeffington’s Formalwear. Together, they were magnetic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751923967152-51516R3JHTFE4888QU4E/the-tea-room-wedding+%28135%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room - The Details at The Tea Room Delicate and timeless, these wedding day details evoke the elegance of a bygone era. A vintage rotary phone, complete with gold accents and floral motifs, anchors the scene in classic charm. A glass and gold jewelry box showcases a trio of stunning rings alongside a single ivory ranunculus, while nearby, pearl drop earrings and a strand of pearls add a touch of old-world glamour. Soft white blooms and satin textures create a romantic backdrop, complemented by antique cameo brooches and a crystal perfume atomizer. Every element whispers luxury and nostalgia—perfectly curated for a bride who loves vintage sophistication with a personal touch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751923969799-E1NN0PFJTF7OKZYW1IF4/the-tea-room-wedding-details%28228%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751923967201-BW9847S7U9VPIOE21HGX/the-tea-room-wedding+%28272%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751923968419-N1RACEE7SRJTREI9PB4N/the-tea-room-wedding-details%28223%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751923968472-2VFAOGIHIS3ARZ8UM2C3/the-tea-room-wedding-details%28224%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751923969555-6IW5LLC13BKA3NZVAKAF/the-tea-room-wedding-details%28226%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751923967152-51516R3JHTFE4888QU4E/the-tea-room-wedding+%28135%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/ee5495e3-a70b-47de-ac77-a611831c58a1/the-tea-room-wedding+%28248%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room - The Welcome Area at The Tea Room Invited DSM not only provided the stationery but also designed an extraordinary welcome area that set the tone for the celebration. Three multi-level pillars, elegantly draped in flowing white silk, created a striking focal point. This setup, paired with The Tea Room’s checkered floors and grand architectural pillars, formed a picturesque entryway. As guests stepped off the elevator and into the space, they were instantly immersed in a stunning, thoughtfully curated wedding environment. One of our favorite features to The Tea Room, is their welcome area and lounge. As guests arrive, they’re greeted by a warm and elegant lounge area that sets the tone for the celebration ahead. The spacious lobby offers a seamless blend of classic architecture and modern sophistication, with rich tiled floors, soft lighting, and tasteful furnishings that feel both upscale and inviting. It’s the perfect place for guests to mingle before the event begins, sip a welcome drink, or take in the venue’s historic charm.

With soaring walls, intricate ceiling designs, and ornate columns as its backdrop, the entire setting felt undeniably grand and timeless. The long reception table was a stunning display of elevated elegance and sophistication. Draped in crisp white linen, it was anchored by three tall gold candelabras topped with classic white taper candles, adding height and a sense of old-world romance. Overhead, crystal gold chandeliers from Monarch Events cast a regal glow, enhancing the ambiance. Gold Chiavari chairs from Beyond Elegance lined each side, framing the setting with refined luxury. Along the center, lush low floral arrangements—featuring white hydrangeas, roses, and cascading greenery—added texture and softness. Each place setting was thoughtfully layered with a white charger plate from 11:11 Event Co., a detailed gold-accented salad plate, and a white satin napkin, accompanied by polished gold flatware. A trio of glassware—water, wine, and champagne—added to the sense of grandeur, while a delicate satin black bow tied to the stemware served as the perfect finishing touch. Elegant stationery from Invited DSM completed the look, seamlessly tying together this breathtaking tablescape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922081933-VE750D6H6O51SYQO5OYW/the-tea-room-wedding-decor+%2815%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922081903-CFEWN04R4W2MLTLDL8EU/the-tea-room-wedding-decor+%2817%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922082964-AHN6ZB06JSEEHJUO44OQ/the-tea-room-wedding-decor+%2819%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922083200-LIESJ054YE3N7IOWRFRA/the-tea-room-wedding-decor+%2821%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922084229-CHR40720S66HQ842TPCF/the-tea-room-wedding-decor+%2824%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922084459-4LSOW42TK7E5CK5Q6XYL/the-tea-room-wedding+%2883%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922085706-K8F2B5FPOMT2N5MXHLTS/the-tea-room-wedding+%2886%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922085713-C5CBV2E1NUWLGTLQJTMM/the-tea-room-wedding+%2887%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922086803-QI19KX5FJCTNFOWHW2PL/the-tea-room-wedding+%28189%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922087090-9AY1F9US5HRYXF5FVYWY/the-tea-room-wedding+%28192%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922087991-1SK3EQ49V7375G3T5ZBE/the-tea-room-wedding+%28232%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922168851-FEW5GN6JTAE4BMZNKLXC/the-tea-room-wedding+%28139%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room - Long Table #2 This long reception table is a breathtaking showcase of candlelight and refined elegance. With over 15 candles in varying styles—pillars, tapers, glass-encased sleeves and athena’s—the tablescape creates a rich, moody ambiance that radiates warmth and sophistication. Gold accents are layered throughout, with a mix of heights and textures adding depth and visual interest. The standout gold Athena candleholders from 11:11 Event Co. bring an unexpected charm—an elegant rental piece many couples may not even realize is available. The table numbers, designed by Lauren, were true works of art: custom gold mirrors featuring unique numbers for each table. Each place setting featured white charger plates from 11:11 Event Co., paired with detailed gold-rimmed dinnerware, sleek black napkins, gold flatware, and a trio of glassware—wine, water, and champagne flutes—to complete the luxurious look. Invited DSM tied it all together with stunning menus printed in a timeless, old-money-inspired font that left guests in awe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922167472-V41TV64YVHPHJAG4IR1K/the-tea-room-wedding+%2882%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922168743-Y002WOUWJ18GKB0FF2FH/the-tea-room-wedding+%28136%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922168851-FEW5GN6JTAE4BMZNKLXC/the-tea-room-wedding+%28139%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922170056-V8ZWTC3EFG24ZDATFUVV/the-tea-room-wedding+%28188%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922167472-0CKIYMXXJ6T5W37PP9BY/the-tea-room-wedding-decor+%2814%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1751922170007-HPLG0FUABFJYSCVDQYNF/the-tea-room-wedding+%28224%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/4584bfd3-8271-4000-b35b-828489d7ab70/the-tea-room-wedding+%28234%29.jpg Portfolio - A Million Dollar Man: An Old-Money Styled Shoot at The Tea Room - The Sweetheart Table at The Tea Room The sweetheart table is a refined focal point of romance and elegance.

Rolling Meadows Event Center Wedding, Lupe & Abraham - The Wedding Ceremony at Rolling Meadows Event Center Your wedding ceremony is one of the most intimate and meaningful moments of your big day, and choosing the right space to say "I do" is essential. At Rolling Meadows Event Center, their outdoor ceremony space is designed to be nothing short of magical. With stunning views, an array of arches to choose from, and a peaceful, intimate atmosphere, it’s the perfect location to exchange vows and begin your forever. Whether you dream of a traditional indoor ceremony or something more unique, Rolling Meadows provides the flexibility and beauty to make your vision come to life. For Lupe and Abraham's wedding day, the forecast called for light rain, and, of course, it arrived just as the ceremony began. Thankfully, we had planned ahead— the couple thoughtfully provided parasols for their guests, which not only kept everyone dry but also added a beautiful, whimsical touch to the ceremony photos. I always love the elegance parasols bring to such special moments! When it came to designing the ceremony space, we didn’t need much—the stunning views spoke for themselves. We complemented the natural beauty with the venue's white arch, adorned with delicate florals, and added luxurious touches with ribbon at the ends of each row of chairs, tying everything together perfectly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1750788160306-MR5DS8QDF6OOOCU46CQP/rolling-meadows-wedding-cocktail-hour%287%29.jpg Portfolio - Rolling Meadows Event Center Wedding, Lupe & Abraham - The Cocktail Hour at Rolling Meadows Event Center Cocktail hour is the perfect opportunity for guests to unwind, mingle, and set the stage for the celebration ahead. At Rolling Meadows Event Center, it’s far more than just a transition between the ceremony and reception—it’s an experience in itself. The venue offers both indoor and outdoor cocktail options, providing a fun and unique twist for guests, especially on beautiful days. One of the standout features of the venue is its expansive 2,500-square-foot outdoor patio, an ideal setting for cocktail hour. Adorned with twinkling lights, the patio creates a warm and inviting ambiance as guests enjoy drinks under the open sky. It’s a wonderful space for couples who want to infuse a touch of outdoor charm into their celebration, while still enjoying the sophisticated comforts of a stylish venue. Lupe and Abraham made their cocktail hour unique by hiring a mariachi band to play during the reception! Guests had a blast listening to the ban walk around the space, and serenade tables! The couple also had a fun twist on their appetizers for the evening, when they had a mexican food truck supply specialty snacks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1750788145944-MVL04KPLIBX6EAI2EPI9/rolling-meadows-wedding+%285%29.jpg Portfolio - Rolling Meadows Event Center Wedding, Lupe & Abraham - The reception at Rolling Meadows Event Center While the cocktail hour was a blast, the reception was even better! The mariachi band introduced the couple and played their first dance song, as we slowly transitioned into dinner. After the couple had eaten, the bride went to freshen up and slip into a new dress, and they were reintroduced to kick off the dancing- but with a little twist. Besides the DJ and the maricahi band, the couple had ANOTHER band they brought in from Chicago, that followed the couple into the reception as they re-entered, and all guests were encouraged to follow the couple and band outside onto the patio, to dance under the lights! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1750788158789-7Q2INCSL1L9A30M7A6N4/rolling-meadows-wedding+%2830%29.jpg Portfolio - Rolling Meadows Event Center Wedding, Lupe & Abraham - The Details at Rolling Meadows Event Center Lupe’s details were truly some of my favorites to date. I absolutely loved her use of soft pastels paired with bold pops of chartreuse—it was such a refreshing and unexpected combination that made the entire light, airy aesthetic come to life in the most beautiful way. One of my favorite personal touches was her choice to use her shoes as her “something blue”—such a sweet and stylish nod to tradition! You know the saying: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” We don’t often see brides incorporating all the elements of this tradition anymore, so it’s always a delightful surprise when one does—especially in such a thoughtful and modern way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1750788161007-QL55JZ2VO7OVQZB9XCSA/rolling-meadows-wedding-reception+%2821%29.jpg Portfolio - Rolling Meadows Event Center Wedding, Lupe & Abraham - The wedding decor at Rolling Meadows Event Center One of my favorite design elements of the day was the couple’s signage. It struck the perfect balance of modern and sophisticated, making a statement without overwhelming the space. Their welcome sign was especially eye-catching—draped in soft fabric with delicate bows tied to the side, and paired beautifully with a lush floral arrangement. It was trendy, elegant, and totally on point. The guest table décor was just as stunning. With Rolling Meadows offering such a clean, neutral backdrop, we had the freedom to introduce color in a way that felt intentional and cohesive. I loved how each detail tied together to create a vibrant yet refined look that truly reflected the couple’s style. On the round tables, we had: A Custom Green and White Floral Decal Table Linen Tan Table Runner Tall Gold Stand with a Floral Arrangement 3x Clear Votive Candles Gold Charger Plates Nude Pink Linen Napkins Place Cards The decor for the long banquet guest tables included: Tan Table Runners Multi Heighted Gold Taper Candlesticks LED Taper Candles Bud Vases Gold Charger Plates Nude Pink Linen Napkins Place Cards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1750788158789-7Q2INCSL1L9A30M7A6N4/rolling-meadows-wedding+%2830%29.jpg Portfolio -

‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot - Getting Ready at Walnut Ridge The bridal suite at Walnut Ridge Wedding Venue is perfect for larger parties needing a space to get ready. With a private second floor suite complete with a private bathroom, mini kitchenette, and personal vanities, this bridal suite is what the girlies truly need the morning of the wedding! This bridal suite has multiple vanities, great lighting, AND windows to let in natural light! There’s even a lounge area in the suite, so whoever’s not getting their hair and makeup done can relax on the couch! A white bridal suite might seem like a simple choice, but that’s exactly what makes it so magical. Its clean, neutral palette acts as a blank canvas, allowing every pop of color—from vibrant florals to bold robes, accessories, and decor—to truly shine. When the room itself is understated, it gives you the freedom to be playful and intentional with your wedding morning aesthetic, creating a visually stunning space that’s perfect for both memories and photos.

When the room itself is understated, it gives you the freedom to be playful and intentional with your wedding morning aesthetic, creating a visually stunning space that’s perfect for both memories and photos. With such a stunning bridal suite, I knew early on I wanted to do some fun bridal portraits in the space! We had our bride getting ready in the suite with her white silk nightgown and bright pink robe, which we had a lot of fun taking picture with! To fit the retro vibe, we also brought in a vintage phone, perfume bottle, and the couples ceremony programs which happened to be newspapers! All fun things to pose with and give us that retro aesthetic we were wanting! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749584411533-E6ER2G0FP74ESCWJGZ2B/retro+love+Sailor+Breeze++%2880%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot - The Stationery, Signage + Details at Walnut Ridge Signage is trending in the wedding world right now, we like seeing pieces that stand out and make a bold statement, which is exactly what this welcome signage did! Not only did the bright colors really make the signage pop, but it made the bride and groom stand out when they posed for pictures in front of it all. The stationery shots were some of my favorite pics from the entire shoot. I spent hours the night before the shoot trying to figure out how to dry fruits because I thought they’d look cool for detail photos, and of course, I was right ;) With all the bright colors being thrown together, including fruits were a great touch that just made everything pop that much more. Within these detail shots we used: The Invitation Suite Jewelry from Siebke Hoyt The Bridal Bouquet designed by Ella Floral Design Dried Fruits Vintage Ring Trays & Dishes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749585149850-YNHU86EEJ79T5ZC7TQ97/retro+love+Sailor+Breeze++%2842%29.jpg Portfolio -

The Sweetheart Table at Walnut Ridge I originally wasn’t going to do a sweetheart table for this shoot, because Walnut Ridge normally places it infront of their black fireplace, and I didn’t have any black in my color scheme. I was worried that with all the bright colors the black would clash, but at the last second I was talked into just trying it out, and I’m so glad I went for it! For the sweethear table we used: 2x Vintage Armchairs Hand Dyed Orange Table Runner Multi Sized Disco Balls Multi Heighted Gold Taper Candlesticks Taper Candles (Yellow, Orange, Hot Pink, Blush Pink) A Floral Arrangement Vintage Rattan Placemats Pink Silverware Sets Vintage Orange Goblets Floral Decal Napkins Floral Dinner Plates Pink Salad Plates Orange Dinner Menu 2x Floral Stands Behind the Table Pink and Orange Tapestry Swag Multi Heighted Gold Athena Candles The ‘You + Me’ sign is from the venue, which is a pretty cool feature they offer. The sign is magnetic and they have a few different options you can choose from, or you can take the sign off and leave the wall blank. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586350784-AEQ3JH624J5PGL99NJIK/walnut-ridge-wedding+%286%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586350770-OT7KA2CH4X6NN5D58P8Q/walnut-ridge-wedding+%287%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586351994-JQFHKV9VOVGKQK7LFEZI/walnut-ridge-wedding+%288%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586352169-SE6L1OE8PIX95KGVWNTE/walnut-ridge-wedding+%289%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586353248-Q0XUT14PC34OCIILJE1G/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2811%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586353370-MU4VM8DG9ZEBVK8VGX2T/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2813%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586198670-TPTLLVDKS5V5G25VEJ7R/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2893%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot - The Cake Design Your wedding cake isn’t just dessert—it’s a centerpiece, a photo moment, and a sweet reflection of your style as a couple. So why play it safe? Bold and brightly colored wedding cakes are having a serious moment, and for good reason. They bring personality, artistry, and a sense of fun to your celebration, turning something traditional into something totally unforgettable. Whether it’s color-blocked tiers, hand-painted florals, or retro-inspired patterns, a vibrant cake adds that “wow” factor guests will be talking about long after the last bite. If you’re looking to make a statement (without saying a word), let your cake do the talking. Let me start off by saying the cake completely exceeded my expectations! I reached out to Sugar Flower Cake Design and told Jen the general idea I was going for: Bright, fun, and funky. I let her take the reigns on cake design, because I’m no cake decorator and I trust Jen to know what she’s doing, but the cake she delivered was out standing! She didn’t even know I incororated dried fruits literally less than 24 hours before the shoot, yet she had them on the cake! And a square cake? Now that’s funky! Since the signage area was so beautiful, we wanted to keep incorporating it into as many photos as possible, which is why when it came time to cut the cake, we moved the welcome sign out, and placed the cake infront of the backdrop for the couple to cut. It made for the best couple portraits and really spruced up the venue space. For the backdrop of the cake cutting, we used: Hot Pink and Orange Arch Backdrops 2x Floral Stands Vintage Side Tables https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587396176-TICHORA65KOHXDGQ783B/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2893%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587396275-5BX1C8E0F4F930Q5O21B/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2894%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587397431-5Y7A2YBE8ZQ8CGQC9CYJ/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2895%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587397660-DREPUK1DIVEA9SBI2L5Y/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2896%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586197137-ST3HF3IQ24WFR7EL1W8U/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2891%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot - The Champagne Tower Much like the cake cutting, we wanted to repurpose this backdrop and use it in as many portraits as we could, so once the cake cutting was done, we moved it out of the way and set up a champagne tower. Champagne towers have been HUGE this past year in the wedding world, and for good reason. They’re a cute photo op, and really get guests pumped up for the reception! We decided to do something a little different though with this champagne tower, and ended up throwing some disco balls in! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587581908-BV0A38VJR9W9QNVUIRCP/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2887%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587581854-X2OBJYXZDGRISUK42H1U/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2888%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587583179-D6H8AVI2GWUTQXIFDPON/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2889%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587583274-21GB8K140OUL45YSFMD2/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2890%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587584555-63UZ3FFD6ILMMG2Q7ZFX/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2891%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749587584607-ODH6HDCW6EH1U2NIRP6C/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2892%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586181745-5EA435MOVKTFN8W567NL/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2869%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Retro Love’ a Bright Vintage Styled Shoot - The Pond at Walnut Ridge The perfect ending to an already beautiful day? Canoe photos at sunset, of course. There’s just something so romantic and peaceful about those golden hour shots on the water—it’s like a fairytale wrapped up in real life. But don’t let the final photos fool you—getting everything set up for these pictures was definitely a team effort behind the scenes! The canoe isn’t the most stable, so we had a few extra hands on deck to help. Someone had to hold the boat steady while it balanced halfway on land and halfway in the water to make sure everything (and everyone!) stayed dry and safe. Once we got the couple settled in and comfortable, they couldn’t move around much—but it didn’t matter. All it took was a few still moments, the right light, and a little creativity to capture some of our absolute favorite images of the day. What’s even more surprising is that the canoe at Walnut Ridge is always available for couples to use, but it’s rarely taken advantage of. Honestly, that surprises us every time, because just look at how adorable and unique these photos turned out! If you're getting married at Walnut Ridge and want something a little different—something with charm, whimsy, and a sense of calm at the end of the celebration—this sweet little canoe might just be the perfect final touch to your wedding story. It’s the kind of moment that feels both quiet and cinematic, and we’re so glad our couple trusted us to make it happen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1749586166652-A1XU46C9DDHDTZFR2PVX/walnut-ridge-wedding+%2848%29.jpg Portfolio -

The Celebration Farm Wedding, Darnell & Vanessa - The Celebration Farm Ceremony The Celebration Farms in Iowa City has a gorgeous outside ampitheater that is perfect for any outdoor ceremony! You honestly don’t need much when it comes to ceremony decor for this space, as nature plays a huge role in aesthetics! Surrounded by beautiful evergreen trees, this space really makes you feel like you’re secluded in your own little world! While the space itself is already so stunning, we still wanted to spruce up the aisle, so we added floral arrangements to each end of the chairs lining the aisle. I must say, it really did make a difference in the feel for the ceremony space overall. The Ampitheater can be rented out for your ceremony at an additional cost, and is rented as a first come first serve rental. While couples are still able to take photos at the ampitheater throughout the day, only the couple who booked it out is able to use it as their ceremony space. The ampitheater can seat up to 300 guests comfortably, and the Celebration Farm staff does all the chair setup and tear down so you have one less thing to worry about on your big day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1759174372467-KAELKOTAT5MIYWEOQXTA/Celebration-Far-Wedding-Decor+%2821%29.jpg Portfolio - The Celebration Farm Wedding, Darnell & Vanessa - The Cocktail Hour at Celebration Farm Darnell and Vanessa opted to have their cocktail hour and reception in the Double Round Barn, since they had a larger guest count. The Double Round is a gorgeous space with a large dome ceiling, floor to ceiling limestone fireplace, stunning chandeliers, and even a covered outdoor patio! This space offers plenty of room for any guest count, and even has a built in dancefloor! There are even large barn doors on the side of the building that can be opened up during cocktail hour and the reception, for guests to flow freely from the apitheater and patio, into the reception hall throughout the evening. The Celebration Farm in Iowa provides the perfect canvas for a wedding reception, and this event showcased how beautifully the space can be transformed.

Once all the guests were seated, we lined the bridal party up for their grand entrances, and shortly after the bride and groom had their first dance. After that, came something a little unexpected for the bride and her guests… The groom and his groomsmen preformed a special dance for the bride! We pulled out a chair for the bride to sit in as the groom and his groomsmen got in formation, and thats when the Magic Mike PG version began! Everyone loved it, and it was such a fun surprise for the bride and her bridesmaids! As the evening drew to a close at The Celebration Farm, the reception was filled with heartfelt moments and timeless traditions that kept guests smiling until the very end.

‘Lilac Haze’ a Lilac Inspired Wedding - Walnut Ridge Wedding Ceremony Setup Ceremony arches are becoming a thing of the past. Our new favorite wedding ceremony trend are these pillars! Couples can display floral arrangements on and around them, while still adding to the beauty of the space, and not drawing away too much attention from the moment. These pillars can also be moved easily from the ceremony space and into the reception, to make for more added decor for your lounge area, welcome table, sweetheart table, etc. However, if you are interested in a traditional ceremony backdrop for your wedding, Walnut Ridge has a few options in house for you to choose from that pair beautifully with the space- one less thing you have to worry about! If the weather isn’t holing up for your wedding, no worries! All their ceremony arch options can be used for indoor wedding ceremonies as well. One thing we love about the Walnut Ridge wedding venue, is their outdoor fountain! Such a stunning feature for any outdoor wedding ceremony, so while we needed decor for the ceremony setup, we knew we didn’t want to pull too much attention away from the scenery. The ceremony space at Walnut Ridge in Shellsburg, Iowa includes bench seating for guests, with a perfect view of the couple from any area. With a stunning backdrop of their water fountain in the pond, and 10 acres of wooded area surrounding the property, this is a picture perfect spot for any couple looking to get married outdoors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1748020103306-OQREM9RU32BOVJDUK1DO/walnut-ridge-wedding-decor+%2822%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘Lilac Haze’ a Lilac Inspired Wedding - Guest Tablescape Design #1 This first table I wanted to keep bare instead of adding a table linen; I love the wood harvest tables, and I felt that the dark wood would compliment the lavender nicely. I started the table design with the table runner; Normally for long tables I like adding in a runner, because it helps give the table a fuller look! We then placed the floral arrangements, and candlesticks around them, debating on if we liked ivory candles or lavender, but ultimately landing on lavender which really fit nicely with the florals. The place settings were the hardest part when it came to the table design, because in the moment, you don’t know what will look best, so you have to play around with all the options.

A Bella Sala Event Center Wedding, Miranda and Trent - Bella Sala Event Center Wedding Ceremony While Bella Sala’s typical wedding ceremony is infront of their waterfall fountain, Miranda and Trent opted to have their ceremony on the far side of the venues outdoor area. The couple decided on this layout for a few reasons, #1 being that they wanted a longer aisle and shorter rows so all 200 guests who attended their ceremony could see. Whereas infront of the waterfall, they’d have a shorter aisle and longer rows, resulting in some of their guests having an obstructed view of their ceremony. The design of the ceremony was very country chic. The couple brought in a barn wood arch, and had their florist drape beautiful arrangements from the top, so the flowers look like they’re cascading down. We then placed the couples’ and their familys stash of cowhide rugs down the length of the aisle as a runner, and it turned out so cool! When you first come to tour the ceremony space, you might get worried about the housing develpoments being so close (literally right behind the waterfall), but when everything is in full bloom, you feel completely secluded. That’s one of my favorite features to Bella Sala’s outdoor ceremony area, you just feel so surrounded by nature, you completely forget you’re just outside of Iowa City! Another nice feature Bella Sala offers, is an indoor ceremony option if there’s inclement weather. Since their ballroom can be split in half, it’s easy to setup an indoor ceremony right next to your reception. And the best part? Bella Sala will handle all the chair setup for your ceremony no matter if it’s inside or outside! I’d call that a win win! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1737573354029-TXJV16YJ0K03MP01DZCR/Miranda+%26+Trent+12.jpg Portfolio - A Bella Sala Event Center Wedding, Miranda and Trent - Bella sala event center wedding reception A unique feature that Bella Sala offers, is their ability to split their ballroom in half for bigger/smaller guest counts. While Miranda and Trent rented out the entire room, I’ve had other couples who split their room in half for their reception, so you can see the pros and cons of each. Miranda and Trent had a guest count of around 400, so they needed the entire space. We were also able to manage the floorplan to ensure the space flowed nicely, while not having tables feel crammed, even though we included space for their dance floor, photo booth, and buffet tables. For the tables themselves, the couple opted for black table cloths that really popped against the white walls of the venue. We had three different types of table decor setups; #1 being a floral arrangement in the center, with votive candles and a white granite table number. The second table decor setup consisted of five gold multiheighted taper candles, mixed with some loose greenery and floral buds. The final table had three multi heighted pillar candles, with a mix of greenery and floral buds. Each table included a custom white granite table number that the couple made, hot pink napkins, a black dinner plate, and gold silverware. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1737573355283-DMSU5FHQMV1YOKK29HND/Miranda+%26+Trent+14.jpg Portfolio - A Bella Sala Event Center Wedding, Miranda and Trent - The Signage at Bella Sala Event Center The Bella Sala Event Center has so many beautiful places to stage your signage, but my favorite place for it is in their entry way with the venues lounge setup. The room itself is very cozy, and makes any added decor you throw in there pop. Miranda and Trent had a few different signage stations they placed around the venue, the first being this gold shelf they rented from Borrow My Vintage. The couple opted to display a "‘Generations of Love’ setup which includes wedding photos of their family through the years. Such as the couples’ parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and so on. This is such a fun trend that I love getting to see, and I hope it soon turns itself into a wedding tradition. Another signage option they had, was their handmade seating chart (which you can see below in their photo gallery). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1737573357151-U8H6UZPV7R5SIZLPO845/Miranda+%26+Trent+17.jpg Portfolio - A Bella Sala Event Center Wedding, Miranda and Trent - The Country Details Miranda was going for a country chic look when it came to her big day, and there were subtle hints to her theme throughout the wedding, such as her leather bouquet wrap with a “B” for Bertsche, her new last name. The couple also hinted at their theme with their ceremony setup. The couple brought in a barn wood arch, and had their florist drape beautiful arrangements from the top, so the flowers look like they’re cascading down. We then placed the couples’ and their familys stash of cowhide rugs down the length of the aisle as a runner, and it turned out so cool! Finally, the couple used a metal frame draped with cowhide rugs for their photo booth, and it turned out so cool! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1737573350266-IVBTQS7J7SY0CZP86QA5/Miranda+%26+Trent+4.jpg Portfolio -

The Hauberg Estate Wedding, Marina & Tanner - The Hauberg Estate Wedding Ceremony The Hauberg Estate offers several picturesque spaces for ceremonies and receptions. Marina and Tanner’s ceremony took place in front of the estate, framed by majestic trees beginning to show their fall colors. The décor included thrifted vases and thoughtfully arranged floral designs, while a gorgeous rug at the altar created a cozy focal point. Bows fluttered along the aisle, adding a whimsical touch to the setting. Guests were greeted by a biodegradable confetti station at the start of the aisle, featuring thrifted bowls and furniture that added charm and sustainability to the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1736873107844-112YH32685PFB4NN90QD/Hauberg-Estate-Wedding+%285%29.jpg Portfolio - The Hauberg Estate Wedding, Marina & Tanner - The Hauberg Estate Wedding Cocktail Hour After the ceremony, guests moved into the historic Hauberg Mansion for cocktail hour. The mansion’s rich history and elegant interiors provided the perfect backdrop for mingling. Guests explored the art and antique furniture that make the estate so unique. Seating assignments were displayed under charming trinkets and vases for each of their guests, each thrifted by Marina and Tanner in the months leading up to their wedding. As a thoughtful keepsake, guests were invited to take these vases home, ensuring lasting memories of the special day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1736873107482-5CQZJM8E1S4TNQJO37CA/Hauberg-Estate-Wedding+%284%29.jpg Portfolio - The Hauberg Estate Wedding, Marina & Tanner - The Hauberg Estate Wedding Reception Following cocktail hour, the reception took place under a tent in the estate’s front courtyard. The couple shared their first dance beneath the tent’s soft lighting, followed by heartfelt toasts that brought many to tears. Dinner was served buffet-style in the estate’s historic carriage house, which also housed a full bar. Guests enjoyed both the delicious food and the carriage house’s vintage charm, including its beautifully styled cake table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1736873106419-ACN74MIGAFCWCJ7YG17F/Hauberg-Estate-Wedding+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - The Hauberg Estate Wedding, Marina & Tanner - The Hauberg Estate Wedding Table Decor The reception tables in the front courtyard were adorned with round floral centerpieces and an array of carefully chosen décor. Marina and Tanner’s commitment to thrifting shone through in the unique collection of candlestick holders, taper candles, and hand-painted vases that decorated each table. Gold charger plates and burgundy napkins complemented the fall-inspired palette, while fresh fruits added a touch of seasonal elegance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/831616d0-b434-4f1c-a11e-48bb8d6d9ca9/Screenshot+2025-01-14+110857.png Portfolio - The Hauberg Estate Wedding, Marina & Tanner - The Hauberg Estate Wedding Sweetheart Table Marina and Tanner’s sweetheart table was a showstopper, featuring a thrifted couch set in the center of the reception area.

Ellen and Andy opted to get married inside, mostly because November weather can be unpredictable, but also because they wanted to give their guests a more intimate feel to the ceremony. For decor, we placed a clear acrylic arch behind the couple and had their florist place floral arrangements along the top, while tall pillar candles lined the aisle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733427198847-P3296EU6567NF2AFMWRO/the-harmac-wedding+%2811%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Ellen & Andy - the harmac wedding reception After the ceremony guests headed into the main reception room for cocktail hour, while we moved the couples ceremony decor over to their head table. During the cocktail hour, the bar was poppin’ (as per usual). But one of my favorite features the Harmac does for each of their couples, is that they make a custom ice stamp! The couple pics out a design they like which can be their initials, monogram, or wedding date, and each drink the bartenders make, they stamp the ice cubes right in front of guests! It’s such a cool feature, and guests love to see all the different stamps they get throughout the night! After cocktail hour, the couple and their bridal party were officially introduced, and the couple cut their cake, and went into their speeches and toasts. After speeches, dinner was served by Peppercorn Food Co. and the desserts were brought out. The dinner for the evening was plated and consisted of either beef tenderloin or a grilled chicken breast, with grilled seasonal veggies and roasted potatoes. The cake was designed by Classic Cakes by Design, and was a circular two tiered coquette style, with white frosting layered beautifully. While we cut the bottom tier to serve to the head table and family tables, the top layer of the cake was kept for the couple to freeze, and eat on their one year anniversary. Shortly after dinner, the couple shared their first dance, parent dances, and the dance floor offically opened. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733427212882-7USXAR4OTG6QLDLKJYTZ/the-harmac-wedding-reception-decor+%2826%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Ellen & Andy - The harmac wedding headtable decor The photos can’t even do the real thing justice; this head table is what wedding dreams are made of! With the sun going down early and the lights turned down low, everything was candlelit and gave off a romantic and intimate feel. We moved the ceremony arch behing the head table along with all the pillar candles, leaving some infront of the headtable. We then placed bud vases, taper candles, votives, and mini lamps along the length of the head table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733427204611-KH809F2YXY5U7WQ86GUB/the-harmac-wedding+%2822%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Ellen & Andy - The harmac wedding table decor There were three different table setups for the reception. 1.)

They were the only florals our bride wanted for her day, and they paired beautifully with all the decor for her old money aesthetic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/534dcfdd-31e2-4955-8f44-b9e0dc56082b/Ellen+%26+Andy+23.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Ellen & Andy - The Dress Ellen’s dress is from Embody Bridal, a beautiful dress shop located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, not far from the venue itself. While the dress itself is stunning, Ellen opted to have a dress change after dinner! Before the dance hour offically kicked off, Ellen hopped into an adorable hot pink mini dress with some white bridal heels! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/ef0c48ed-f253-440b-9727-182fcc3d076d/Ellen+%26+Andy+19.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Ellen & Andy - The Bridal Party While the bridal party was small, they killed it on the wedding day! The bridesmaids wore beautiful velvet maroon dresses, each with a different style and design that paired beautifully with each other. The girls kept it fairly simple, with minimal jewelry and a small bouquet of white roses. The groomsmen looked snazzy in their black suits with maroon ties to match the girls, and a single white rose for their boutionnieres. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733427195311-7K2P0CQ4VKYYHM21NK4X/the-harmac-wedding+%284%29.jpg Portfolio -

The Curtiss Mansion Wedding, Kathy & Mark - The Halloween Decor Thinking a gothic elegance Halloween wedding? Then this design inspo is for you! Each place setting has a gold charger, black dinner plate, burgundy napkin, gold skull, and black spider guest favors along with red water goblets and gold silverware. For the table decor we placed vintage gold taper candlesticks with black taper candles, bud vases with red roses, and a candelabra floral arrangement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733426754536-W16CD2H52WTZEDIJS7NB/the-curtiss-manison-wedding+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - The Curtiss Mansion Wedding, Kathy & Mark - The headless horseman ceremony ride Forget your typical ceremony entrance, Kathy made a statement by riding into her ceremony on a headless horseman drawn carriage. You read that right, our driver wore a handmade headless horseman costume! We also had a fog machine going, so our lovely bride exited the carriage and entered her ceremony through a foggy haze. Talk about a spook-tacular entrance! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733426759262-NA5NKD2NXWMPB01L7TVL/the-curtiss-manison-wedding-reception+%284%29.jpg Portfolio - The Curtiss Mansion Wedding, Kathy & Mark - The curtiss mansion wedding reception After the ceremony guests headed to the cocktail hour with specialty themed halloween drinks and appetizers, including “eyeballs” (meatballs w/ sliced mozzarella, olive & ketchup), “zombie fingers” (angus beef sticks with chimi sauce), “witches cauldron” (mini plastic cauldrons with snapper ceviche. After cocktail hour guests were guided to the dancefloor, where the couple shared their choreographed first dance, before making their way to their seats for dinner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733426750413-DD0OEK7TR6U9SH8M33KS/the-curtiss-manison-wedding+%2815%29.jpg Portfolio - The Curtiss Mansion Wedding, Kathy & Mark - the cake After dinner, guests were directed to a seperate room off the dance floor, where the cake had it’s own special room. Now this isn’t your typical wedding cake as you can probably already tell. What makes this cake unique isn’t the design, oh no, it’s the fact that this is a floating cake that makes it unlike anything you’ve ever seen before! This cake display uses a handmade iron coffin that uses a pole that goes through the cake connecting it to the top, whith a chandelier used as it’s base. There’s nothing holding the cake up underneath the chandelier, it’s all connected from a hanging rod at the top of the display. The cake itself is three tiers of awesomeness. With a blood geode center poppoing out from all three tiers, and gold icing dripping down from the sides, it’s no wonder this cake stole the show and needed it’s own room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733426757946-IVUIH8YWS55TAQR5HVIA/the-curtiss-manison-wedding+%2824%29.jpg Portfolio -

The Harmac Wedding, Tori & Austin - The harmac wedding ceremony The Harmac has two main ceremony spaces; one inside the space in a secluded room infront of a view of the city, and one on the rooftop of the building. Tori and Austin opted for the rooftop for their ceremony, because of the gorgeous views and of course, the perfect lighting for photos! While we had beautiful wedding decor for the ceremony, we had quite the wind storm on the rooftop, and I unfortunately had to remove the pampas arrangements and candles before the wind blew them off the roof! Our bride was also wearing a veil- that lasted about 5 seconds down the aisle before the wind snatched it off her head and I had to run down the rooftop to catch it! Despite the wind, Tori and Austin’s intimate rooftop ceremony was beautiful, and guests loved the unique space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733425356236-QCOAY4T5H40DOMCP9QS4/THE-HARMAC-WEDDING+%2812%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Tori & Austin - The harmac wedding reception After the rooftop ceremony, guests took the elevator down to the second floor to join the cocktail hour. During the cocktail hour, the bar was poppin’ (as per usual). But one of my favorite features the Harmac does for each of their couples, is that they make a custom ice stamp! The couple pics out a design they like which can be their initials, monogram, or wedding date, and each drink the bartenders make, they stamp the ice cubes right in front of guests! It’s such a cool feature, and guests love to see all the different stamps they get throughout the night! While guests mingled, the couple went off for more photos, and shortly after went into their grand entrance. After their entrance, the couple cut their cake, and had their first dance before dinner was served. Once each guest had their food, we started speeches and toasts, followed by parent dances, before the dancing offically commenced! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733425360099-8LECSJ597515R9EOJ2RT/THE-HARMAC-WEDDING-RECEPTION%2819%29.jpg Portfolio - The Harmac Wedding, Tori & Austin - The Harmac Wedding Decor Tori and Austin opted for a boho chic wedding with a color scheme of terracotta, tans, and other neutrals which ended up pairing beautifully with the industrial look The Harmac has. We placed terracotta napkins along with dinner plates and gold silverware at each place setting, and placed votive candles and multi heighted pampas arrangements along the tables. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733425351683-SJO9F0GODP8ZNGBUWWIK/THE-HARMAC-WEDDING+%282%29.jpg Portfolio -

The Exchange on Vine Wedding, Taylor & Trevor - tHE EXCHANGE ON VINE WEDDING CEREMONY The Exchange on Vine can host ceremonies inside and outside, but for Taylor and Trevor, we opted for outside since the couple had such perfect weather! The venue offers a long cemented walkway from the patio down to their ceremony area atop rolling Iowan hills. There are benches cemented into the ground, and loose gravel on either sides of the walkway, so there are never any muddy patches you or your guests will step in. Taylor and Trevor hosted their ceremony outside, with their adorable pups as their ring bearers! We lined the isle with long stemmed white floral buds at multiple heights, that played perfectly into the new money aesthetic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733424642172-2G2TLMHB565YY6PTN9AY/the-exchange-on-vine-wedding+%2842%29.jpg Portfolio - The Exchange on Vine Wedding, Taylor & Trevor - tHE EXCHANGE ON VINE WEDDING RECEPTION After the ceremony guests headed inside for cocktail hour while the couple went off for photos. The venue has a large secluded bar off to the side or their large reception hall, so guests can still feel included in all the festivities, while the crowd of the bar stays in one place. One of the nice features about the Exchange on Vine’s bar, is that they take care of the bar for you! They hire the bartenders and provide all the alcohol, so you don’t have to! One less DIY project you have to worry about on the wedding day. Shortly after the cocktail hour the couple had their grand entrance, topped with a champagne pour, and their first dance! We then went into the cake cutting along with speeches and toasts before dinner was served. After the meal, we kicked off parent dances, and the party offically started with DJ DAS rocking the house! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733424621197-FQK993M2I8AZAMB3UQZO/the-exchange-on-vine-wedding+%2847%29.jpg Portfolio - The Exchange on Vine Wedding, Taylor & Trevor - The excange on vine wedding details The details are arguably one of my favorite part to any wedding day, because they are always so different! One of my favorite details about Taylor and Trevor’s wedding, was the parasols they had brought for guests to use during the ceremony. While parasols are a great addition to any outdoor ceremony, they also make for amazing bridal portraits! Don’t believe me? Check out more photos from Taylor and Trevor’s day below! I also love the texture and colors of the venue on the outside, which make for great family and bridal party photos! Sometimes with weather, outside photos are iffy. For Taylor and Trevor’s wedding for example, there was terrible wind, so we weren’t able to take many outdoor photos unless we were right up against the venue being protected from the wind. But it all worked out, because the photos still looked amazing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733424630291-BWAYVG4NAB9VNFRBWBXB/the-exchange-on-vine-wedding+%2824%29.jpg Portfolio - The Exchange on Vine Wedding, Taylor & Trevor - The wedding desserts The desserts needed their own highlight- and I’m sure you can see why! Parinda Cupcakes does a fantastic job of creating floral decals on cakes and cupcakes. Her work is the literal definition of “Looks too good to eat”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733424623157-27DNLL0APPCHZ18EEATF/the-exchange-on-vine-wedding+%284%29.jpg Portfolio -

The Midnight Gem Wedding, Kori and Trevor - The design of the midnight gem Boring signage and stationary is out, we’re making headlines now! We’re bringing a fresh take to your wedding signage, and making it hot! Take Kori and Trevors welcome signage: It made a statement, and we love that! Gone is the “welcome to so & so’s wedding”, no duh, your guests know who’s wedding their at, so let’s make our welcome signage stand out! Not only was their welcome sign a hit, but guests loved the couples polaroid guestbook! It helped keep everyone entertained during the cocktail hour. The Midnight Gem has a beautiful welcome area for guests to mingle before the ceremony, to drop their cards/gifts and sign your guestbook, all while being closed off from the reception space; Which wedding planners like me LOVE! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733424123187-IO9R9DF0XZM39WTJ1ZRY/the-midnight-gem-wedding-ceremony%286%29.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Kori and Trevor - The Midnight gem wedding ceremony I LOVED Kori and Trevor’s wedding ceremony, for 3 reasons: 1.) I love Kori and Trevor 2.) They had a flower bro instead of a flower girl 3.) Finally, they had their puppy walk down the aisle for the ceremony Adorable right?! I love flower bros because they always give guests something to giggle about, and they take their job very seriously! But I also love it when couples include their fur babies on the wedding day, so this was a win win for me! The Midnight Gem has one of the smartest designs for their ceremony area, by making sure it’s covered! With a covered patio, it ensures that any couple, regardless of the weather, can get married outside. They also use benches for the guests to sit on during the ceremony rather than actual chairs, which helps with spacing issues, and it allows us to customize the size of the aisle for each wedding. The best part? If you want to take the benches out completely, you can! You can use the covered patio space for anything, because the benches aren’t permanent and can be moved around! I’ve seen couples get married offsite and use the covered patio space for their cocktail hour, as an outside lounge area, or even as a cigar bar. Your options for this space are limitless! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733424116204-0AE7KDLG4Q002XJDHGMY/the-midnight-gem-wedding+%2811%29.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Kori and Trevor - The Midnight gem wedding reception One of the nice things about the Midnight Gem’s venue space, is how much space they actually have. Between their covered and uncovered patio area, and their large reception hall, guests have so many areas they can lounge and mingle during the cocktail hour! After the ceremony guests went inside for the cocktail hour while the bridal party took a party bus offsite for photos. Once the bridal party got back, we did grand introductions, first dance, cake cutting, and speeches and toasts. After dinner the party offically started, and dancing commenced! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733424120392-0LOCK4NW6YPS1F8E2IZ5/the-midnight-gem-wedding+%2822%29.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Kori and Trevor - The floral details One thing that really stood out to me from Kori’s wedding, was her bouquet. Her and Trevor have 3 dogs, two of which were unable to attend the wedding physically, but they were there in spirit thanks to the charms Kori had around her bouquet. She had a friend make a special charm with photos of their three dogs to wrap around her bouquet, so they could be there with her all day; how sweet! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733424124061-P3UES70A9U13Y369JQNY/the-midnight-gem-wedding-reception%2820%29.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Kori and Trevor - The Midnight gem wedding decor The Midnight Gem only offers these long wooden tables, (no round tables) so we stuck with decor that ran along the length of the table, instead of decor that just piled up in the middle. We kept the table decor simple for the wedding, with black runners, babies breath garland, and multi heighted pillar candles weaving in and out along the table. We also placed black dinner plates, gold silverware, and black napkins at each place settings for guests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733424119113-RAPH6EKI5WSXOMNH8QOS/the-midnight-gem-wedding+%2818%29.jpg Portfolio -

Bella Sala Event Center Wedding, Crystal & Brock - Bella Sala Event Center Wedding Ceremony The Bella Sala ceremony space is stunning on its own with the waterfall and mini pond, but I always love it when my couples spruce up the space even more! Crystal rented a beautiful black backdrop from the Wedding Trailers, and had her florist Kathryn from Beautifully Bloomed add in white buds to really make things pop! With our bridal party in all black and our couple in white, they really did stand out not only for the ceremony, but throughout the day as well! When you first come to tour the ceremony space, you might get worried about the housing develpoments being so close (literally right behind the waterfall), but when everything is in full bloom, you feel completely secluded. That’s one of my favorite features to Bella Sala’s outdoor ceremony area, you just feel so surrounded by nature, you completely forget you’re just outside of Iowa City! Another nice feature Bella Sala offers, is an indoor ceremony option if there’s inclement weather. Since their ballroom can be split in half, it’s easy to setup an indoor ceremony right next to your reception. And the best part? Bella Sala will handle all the chair setup for your ceremony no matter if it’s inside or outside! I’d call that a win win! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733423132395-E692V5GI50FOE22B46K1/bella-sala-wedding+%2822%29.jpg Portfolio - Bella Sala Event Center Wedding, Crystal & Brock - Bella sala event center wedding reception After the ceremony guests headed inside Bella Sala, while the couple took the party bus to a nearby park for more photos. After the coktail hour, Crystal and Brock were introduced into the reception and had their very first dance together as husband and wife! Following their first dance they had speeches and toasts, cake cutting, and dinner. After which they had parent dances, and officially kicked off the dancing! A unique feature that Bella Sala offers, is their ability to split their ballroom in half for bigger/smaller guest counts. While Crystal and Brock split their room in half, I’ve had other couples who rented out the entire space for the reception, so you can see the pros and cons of each. Crystal and Brock had a guest count of around 200, so they didn’t need the entire space. We were still able to manage the floorplan to ensure the space flowed nicely, while not having tables feel crammed, or more importantly, having the space feel too empty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733423128263-KEXT0GQB6RCLS5S6596J/bella-sala-wedding-reception%286%29.jpg Portfolio - Bella Sala Event Center Wedding, Crystal & Brock - Bella Sala event center wedding reception decor The tablescapes for Crystal and Brocks wedding were breathtaking- the photos don’t even do the space justice. Everything was so chic and had a clean aesthetic! The tables had a gold mini lamp, taper candles, bud vases, and clear votives along with black napkins, menus, and chargers with full place settings. One thing that Crystal and Brock did that I loved, is they placed playing cards with their engagements photos on guest tables for their guests to sign! It was a fun for guests and a great guestbook idea for couples who love card games! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733423130140-2XUFYWHUAMHD2QSY8MPP/bella-sala-wedding+%2817%29.jpg Portfolio -

Pinter’s Garden Wedding, Nicole & Ian - Pinters garden wedding ceremony The rain stopped just a few hours before the ceremony which allowed us to dry off chairs and get everyone settled. Nicole and Ian had a lovely ceremony and shared some very heartfelt words, but one thing that will always stand out to me, was their unity. The couple had a wooden time capsule made, that they would open on one of their wedding anniversaries! They kept a bottle of wine from their wedding year, their vows, letters to one another, along with a few other things. I thought this was such a cool idea! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733422758821-4RPN416PKV31BULMD4M3/Pinters-garden-wedding-reception%2812%29.jpg Portfolio - Pinter’s Garden Wedding, Nicole & Ian - Pinters Garden wedding reception After the ceremony guests came inside for cocktail and mingled before the grand entrances which happended to be a little… different. Instead of your typical grand entrance where your bridal party is introduced by name into the reception, the bride and groom decided to do a roast instead when introducing each bridal party member, and it was a huge hit! The bride and groom entered into the reception first, took the mic, and pulled out their roasts! After the introductions, the couple had their first dance, cut their cake, and had speeches and toasts. Shortly after dinner was served, and the dancing commenced! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733422757293-DFV083DH9FDNBEYR9AE7/Pinters-garden-wedding-bridal-suite%282%29.jpg Portfolio -

We all know black and white weddings are trending, bows are trending, but adding them together? A masterpiece! Flower Disco floral took these stunning white orchids and added mini black bows to each bud, not just for the brides bouquet, but for every arrangement- and they were one of my favorite little touches! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733422498277-5G2L7MENWR3TVQA59FTE/arrowhead-golf-course-wedding+%286%29.jpg Portfolio - Arrowhead Golf Course Wedding, Taylor & Evan - Arrowhead golf course wedding ceremony The couple kept their ceremony decor pretty simple, since the view was captivating enough! They took 4 multi heighted white pillars and placed them on opposite ends of the altar while their florist added arrangements that drooped down the pillars. The florist also added in ground arrangements at the end of each row lining the aisle, which were later moved over to the reception. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733422514475-D56TGQ87GM2M2UUXO0EA/arrowhead-golf-course-wedding-reception+%2825%29.jpg Portfolio - Arrowhead Golf Course Wedding, Taylor & Evan - Arrowhead Golf Course wedding reception After the ceremony guests made their way to the reception tent to sign the guestbook, find their seat, and grab a cocktail.

After the ceremony, I coordinated their guests into rows with handfuls of rose petals for the couples grand exit, and had Amara and Alex walk down and head off to the reception.

The venue has a terrace on the East side of the mansion, which is where most couples choose to host their reception. Whether it’s under a tent, or out in the open, it’s always a beautiful setup, and makes the evening feel that much more intimate. Karlee and John opted to have their reception outside on the lawn without and tents blocking weather, which meant we had to get a little creative to ensure wind wouldn’t pick up and knock all the table decor over! Regardless of the wind, their reception was beautiful! Karlee bought mini led lamps to place on tables along with vintage gold taper candles and bud vases. I then went around to each table placing charger plates, napkins, and name cards while the caterers placed the silverware and water goblets. The tablescapes were very garden and Bridgerton chic, and paired nicely with the wooded backdrop of Salisbury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733421711665-5TXL3LBM98KN3BM0GNS0/salisbury-house-and-gardens-wedding+%2884%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House & Gardens Wedding, Karlee and John - The Bridal Party A big trend going on now is to have your bridal party wear different wedding colors anlong with different designs and styles of dresses. Not only am I a huge fan of this trend, but I love mixing all the colors into something cohesive! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733421705229-1BS8FUM8N19YVYON13D2/salisbury-house-and-gardens-wedding+%2869%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House & Gardens Wedding, Karlee and John - Salisbury House and Gardens Wedding Ceremony If you’ve been to Salisbury, then you know the wooded area surrounding the house is stunning, it makes you feel like you’re in your own little world. You don’t need much to dress up the space, which is why Karlee and John decided adding a few colorful florals would pair nicely with the area, while not drawing too much attention away from the already beautiful backdrop. The ceremony space itself is in the front of the mansion, followed by a stone path way that makes for a long yet beautiful aisle! Most couples who get married at the venue choose to have their ceremony outside in the gardens, and it’s convinient for guests to go straight into cocktail hour after the ceremony when you set it up this way. A nice feature when it comes to the setup at The Salisbury House and Gardens, is that their staff will set up all the ceremony chairs, and tear them down afterwards. One less thing the couple has to worry about, and one less thing you have to rent! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733421713948-WIG6O97XD5CD2FHDQS58/salisbury-house-wedding+%2883%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House & Gardens Wedding, Karlee and John - Salisbury house and gardens wedding reception The Salisbury House and Gardens has a few options when it comes to cocktail hour and reception locations. One of those options, is the South Terrace Lawn which sits directly infront of the house’s entrance. It’s a nice cobblestone covered patio that sits under hanging edison bulbs, and gives you direct access to both the house, East Terrace, and the ceremony area. This location is ideal for a cocktail hour because it’s easily seen from the ceremony area, and has a covered cutout from the house that couples use as a bar, which we know gets the most use during cocktail hour! Another option is the Cobblestone Courtyard, which is located in the back of the house. Guests can walk directly through the mansion to get there, or they can take a scenic route by going through the East terrace. Either way, It’s a bit larger than the South Terrace Lawn, so it’s more ideal for couples with a larger guestcount. The entire courtyard is covered in cobblestone, but keep in mind this terrain is a bit uneven, and can be difficult for grandparents to walk on. The courtyard also has garage doors leading into the house that you can open, so guests can mingle inside, and we can keep your appetizers and bar indoors to keep things cool. After the ceremony guests headed to the cobblestone courtyard for cocktail hour, where the bride and groom were bartenders! The couple hopped behind the bar and helped hand out drinks to their guests so they could have the chance to talk to everyone as they came up for drinks! A great way to greet your guests without having to do a recieving line or go table to table during the dinner hour. After cocktail hour the couple and their guests went back to their tables on the East Terrace for speeches and toasts, dancing, and their cake cutting. After dinner, guests moved to the South Terrace Lawn and danced under the edison bulbs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733421709538-MNN4TTLGFY7W2T3OXCIK/salisbury-house-and-gardens-wedding+%2879%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House & Gardens Wedding, Karlee and John - The Desserts The desserts need to be highlighted, because it was one of the prettiest dessert displays I’ve ever seen! The florist had extra bud vases we littered the table with in between desserts, and the large floral arrangements from the ceremony were moved to flank the ends of the table with really elevated the entire appearence of the dessert table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733421691868-QBDXRG2MWE2KZLZ78PQ9/salisbury-house-and-gardens-wedding+%287%29.jpg Portfolio -

Koru Berry Farm Wedding, Kelley & Jamey - Koru Berry Farm wedding ceremony If you’ve been to Koru Berry Farm, you know they have quite a few acres, but the best place to have your ceremony is infront of their large oak tree. It’s hidden back behind the vineyard and makes for a very intimate and secluded ceremony space. While most guests can walk to the oak tree through the vineyard, the owners have golf carts they use to help cart guests (and the bride herself) over to the ceremony area. The staff at Koru Berry Farm do all the setup for the ceremony seating, as well as the teardown, which is one less thing the couple has to worry about! Kelley and Jamey opted to have their ceremony outside under the oak tree, and they ended up having some sheer ivory fabric draped in the branches, which just added to the overall natural beauty of the space. You really don’t need to do much to the ceremony space to make it stand out. It is truly beautiful on its own! However, Kelley and Jamey did bring some white lanterns to line their aisle with, which was simple enough that it didn’t take away from the beauty of the scenery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733260748178-E8OJ163E81J8L6P9GW4U/Kelley+%26+Jamey+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - Koru Berry Farm Wedding, Kelley & Jamey - Koru Berry Farm wedding reception One of my favorite perks about getting married at Koru Berry Farm, is all the farm animals they have onsite! The owners have miniature donkeys, peacocks, sheep, emus, piggies, and more! What’s really cool, is that they encourage your guests to explore the land and meet with these critters during your cocktail hour! Grab a drink at the bar after the ceremony, then head outside to see all the cute farm animals the venue has! Sometimes the owners even let the critters roam the land (with the couples consent) so your guests can pet them, take photos with them, and give them all the pets! Kelley and Jamey will go down in history for having one of the coolest wedding receptions. Why? Because throughout cocktail hour we got greeted by all of the animals at Koru- including their two miniature donkeys who had saddles full of beer! The mini donkeys walked around during coktail hout handing out beer to guests, and it was such a fun expirience! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733260744075-KRL3ATCLQR0KUIXP4OZE/Kelley+%26+Jamey+22.jpg Portfolio -

Wilson’s Orchard & Farm Wedding, Maddy & Jackson - Wilson’s Orchard Wedding Ceremony While Wilson’s Orchard can do inside or outside wedding ceremonies, most couples choose to get married outside infront of the venues built in wood arch. Surrounded by old oak trees that naturally shade the area, it’s a beautiful spot to share your vows, and feels immensley intimate and private. Maddy and Jackson’s ceremony was held outside at the Wilson’s Orchard ampitheater, and the couple opted to have their bridal party sit during the ceremony rather than have them stand the whole time. The colors of the wedding were a beautiful contrast against all the greenery in the ampitheater, and really made all the photos pop! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733258030158-27U314ZWG74R1HYHOB7L/Wilsons-orchard-wedding+%2823%29.jpg Portfolio - Wilson’s Orchard & Farm Wedding, Maddy & Jackson - Wilson’s Orchard Wedding Reception The reception space sits below the restaurant, yet is very secluded for private events. With a rustic barn wood aesthetic, the space has a warm and intimate feel that guests love! One of my favorite features of the reception space, is their hanging edison bulbs that are draped throughout the room. It’s a beautiful feature to have during the reception, and it makes for a magical feeling (and photos) when it comes to your first dance! After the ceremony, guests walked up to the venue for cocktail hour while the bride and groom went off to take more photos. Shortly after they had their grand entrance, cake cutting, and dances all before dinner was served! Wilson’s Orchard had a plated meal delivered to each guest, and it was oh so delicious! After dinner we kicked off the dancing with mother son and father daughter dancing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733258019659-X15C2SZL1DNRERM8OUAW/Wilsons-orchard-reception+%2826%29.jpg Portfolio - Wilson’s Orchard & Farm Wedding, Maddy & Jackson - Wilson’s Orchard Wedding Decor The decor and floral just made the space! Tiffany with Studio Bloom laid bud vases out at each table and I followed behind with pillar candles creating a simple yet elegant table display. Wilson’s Orchard provides all the barnwood tables and black industrial chairs, and they even take care of the reception floorplan setup, leaving less for the couple to worry about on their big day! Since the venue offers catering onsite, the Wilson’s Orchard staff also sets up full place settings at each seat, including white linen napkins, silverware, glassware, and water carafes. In lying out full place settings (which as I’m sure you know, I am always a big fan of) the table settings look more full, and elegant, which is always the goal to any wedding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733258025562-MUBPJ5RSVJY2Q4RW1994/Wilsons-orchard-wedding+%2814%29.jpg Portfolio -

Walker Homestead Wedding, Maggie & Eric - The Details Maggie had some of the most STUNNING detail photos I’ve ever seen! The photographer was able to take all elements of the day and transform them into something beautiful! You’ll have to check out the rest of their detail photos in the gallery at the end of this blog- they are like something out of Vougue! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733254890092-4266JE1D7ONQ2F68QHTL/walker-homestead-wedding+%2836%29.png Portfolio - Walker Homestead Wedding, Maggie & Eric - Walker Homestead Wedding Ceremony Outside wedding ceremonies are trending right now, and Walker Homestead in Iowa City had one of the prettiest ceremony backdrops: The rolling hills and stunning Iowa sunsets within the vineyard. It’s no shock that couples want to get married out here when this is their view! Walker Homestead has a built in wire circle wedding arch placed infront of their vineyard, which couples can use and decorate however they see fit for their big day. The venue has other ceremony locations too, including infront of their stone fireplace under their covered patio, which is perfect for when the weather gets to be a bit unpredictable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733254880571-KCHU29MFH5AKEDQ1AM1H/walker-homestead-wedding+%2829%29.png Portfolio - Walker Homestead Wedding, Maggie & Eric - Walker Homestead reception The reception space at Walker Homestead is very open, and feels like you’re sitting down with your family at Thanksgiving, giving off a very intimate feel. They have some stunning barnwood tables they use for guests, along with a mix of round tables sprinkled into the floorplan so not everything is symmetrical. The venue has beautiful vintage plates they use for family style and plated dinners, each one unique that gives off a vintage thrifted aesthetic yet they all tie in together beautifully! These place settings the venue sets up adds to the decor, giving the tables a full and elegant look, which you can see more of in the gallery below. After the ceremony, the couple stayed onsite to take photos, while the guests headed inside for cocktail hour. After Maggie and Eric’s grand intro, we rolled into their speeches and toasts, cake cutting, first dance, and the shoe game! As I’ve mentioned before, Walker Homestead has a really nice outdoor area and patio. So when Maggie and Eric decided to have a sparkler exit, we couldn’t argue! The edison bulbs hanging over the patio made for great ambiance and stunning photos! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733254854294-IUB7LP6I7ZAOFPN2X15I/walker-homestead-wedding+%2814%29.jpg Portfolio - Walker Homestead Wedding, Maggie & Eric - The Lounge from borrow my vintage I LOVE a good lounge setup! It adds extra aesthetic to the room, makes for great bridal and guest portraits, and is overall a fun addition to any reception! However, this lounge setup wasn’t just used for sitting. Oh no, I made sure we squeezed every last bit of aesthetic background out of it; Meaning, instead of the couple taking photos elsewhere with a simple backdrop, most of their important moments throughout the night happened in front of this lounge. Such as: Bridal Portraits Bridesmaids First Look Cake Cutting Shoe Game Parent Dances Take a peek at the gallery below to see what I mean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733254869089-Q9IEC4SMNCEHCY6UVYM0/walker-homestead-wedding+%2824%29.png Portfolio - Walker Homestead Wedding, Maggie & Eric - The shoe game I always love to take advantage of a pretty lounge setup, so instead of doing the shoe game in the center of the room, we positioned Maggie and Eric infront of their stylish lounge! I took their two arm chairs and faced them back to back, then added in some lanterns and floral arrangements to make it more picturesque. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733254831868-Y68B3DIHD7TJL89SWBUP/walker-homestead-wedding+%286%29.png Portfolio - Walker Homestead Wedding, Maggie & Eric - The Design and decor The guest tables were beautiful, not to pat myself on the back. We took different shades of table runners, mauve and sage, and alternated them between tables. Then placed table numbers, full place settings and menus, bud vases, and voties at each table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733254822862-K2TYTBLJLXO2O7ULU166/walker-homestead-wedding+%281%29.jpg Portfolio -

Salisbury House and Gardens Wedding, Kelsey & Matthew - The Color Scheme One thing that seperates each wedding from one another, is the color scheme; and Kelsey and Matthews color scheme will always stick out to me! I LOVE the different shades of pink the bridesmaids wore, and it paired so beautifully with the gray suits the groomsmen wore. But the groom? He stood out all on his own in his burgundy suit and gray vest. Such a beautiful bridal party- and the florals really tied it all together! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733251129308-0UWX463TDV7K82ZJSMVA/wedding-photo-guestbook.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House and Gardens Wedding, Kelsey & Matthew - The details Your welcome tables is one of the first things your guests see at your wedding, and Kelsy and Matt didn’t disappoint! They used a vintage white side table and placed some beautiful florals created by Shelly Sarver on it with their guestbook. What is their guestbook you might ask? A polaroid guestbook! They are a HUGE hit at weddings, and such a fun way to remember all your guests who came to celebrate with you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733251101555-EJ1BXC17A1GKHSA4WO6P/Salisbury-house-and-gardens-ceremony%287%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House and Gardens Wedding, Kelsey & Matthew - Salisbury House & Gardens Wedding Ceremony If you’ve been to Salisbury, then you know the wooded area surrounding the house is stunning, it makes you feel like you’re in your own little world. You don’t need much to dress up the space, which is why Kelsey and Matt decided adding a few colorful florals would pair nicely with the area, while not drawing too much attention away from the already beautiful backdrop. With nature as your backdrop, you don’t need much else for a ceremony arbor. But the floral stands Shelly created were perfect! It added just the right amount of color to the ceremony without taking away from the bride and groom. After the ceremony, I moved the floral stands to sit behind the couples sweetheart table in the reception. THAT was difficult to move… The ceremony space itself is in the front of the mansion, followed by a stone path way that makes for a long yet beautiful aisle! Most couples who get married at the venue choose to have their ceremony outside in the gardens, and it’s convinient for guests to go straight into cocktail hour after the ceremony when you set it up this way. A nice feature when it comes to the setup at The Salisbury House and Gardens, is that their staff will set up all the ceremony chairs, and tear them down afterwards. One less thing the couple has to worry about, and one less thing you have to rent! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733251125378-B2CJK60JRVAEAWFNK5UM/Salisbury-house-and-gardens-wedding+%2844%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House and Gardens Wedding, Kelsey & Matthew - Salisbury House & Gardens Wedding Reception The Salisbury House and Gardens has a few options when it comes to cocktail hour and reception locations. One of those options, is the South Terrace Lawn which sits directly infront of the house’s entrance. It’s a nice cobblestone covered patio that sits under hanging edison bulbs, and gives you direct access to both the house, East Terrace, and the ceremony area. This location is ideal for a cocktail hour because it’s easily seen from the ceremony area, and has a covered cutout from the house that couples use as a bar, which we know gets the most use during cocktail hour! Another option is the Cobblestone Courtyard, which is located in the back of the house. Guests can walk directly through the mansion to get there, or they can take a scenic route by going through the East terrace. Either way, It’s a bit larger than the South Terrace Lawn, so it’s more ideal for couples with a larger guestcount. The entire courtyard is covered in cobblestone, but keep in mind this terrain is a bit uneven, and can be difficult for grandparents to walk on. The courtyard also has garage doors leading into the house that you can open, so guests can mingle inside, and we can keep your appetizers and bar indoors to keep things cool. After the ceremony guests went to the cobblestone courtyard to enjoy drinks and appetizers, but were moved to the East terrace under the tent shortly after for the grand introduction. Kelsey and Matt then had their cake cutting, along with speeches and toasts before dinner was served. **Side Note: The floral really does make all the difference, doesn’t it? This is why I am such a firm believer in moving your ceremony backdrop to sit behind your headtable/sweetheart table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733251124342-6V36BARYWENPL15HMDVQ/Salisbury-house-and-gardens-wedding+%2841%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House and Gardens Wedding, Kelsey & Matthew - The Cake & All its glory I don’t normally highlight the cake, but how can I not when it looks like this!? We set the cake atop a vintage white vanity, and had our florist Shelly spruce it up with some buds and greenery. The cake decorator from Creme did a wonderful job; it really tied in all the colors together for this beautiful wedding! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733251127672-JC6VWUYJLQHD0S6KLXHD/Salisbury-house-and-gardens-wedding+%2850%29.jpg Portfolio - Salisbury House and Gardens Wedding, Kelsey & Matthew - The Decor My favorite thing about Salisbury House and Gardens is your ability to host your entire wedding day outside, surrounded by the beauty of nature. The venue has a terrace on the East side of the mansion, which is where most couples choose to host their reception. Whether it’s under a tent, or out in the open, it’s always a beautiful setup, and makes the evening feel that much more intimate. Kelsey and Matt opted to have their reception under the protection of a tent since their wedding was in October, and we really didn’t know what the weather was going to be like. Thankfully though, it was a beautiful fall day and was actually quite warm! I’ve seen receptions with and without tents when it comes to Salisbury House, and the tent was a good call for Kelsey and Matt’s wedding because the sun beat down on us all day. It was also helpful to have the tent during dinner, to help keep the weather and insects in check. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733251101555-EJ1BXC17A1GKHSA4WO6P/Salisbury-house-and-gardens-ceremony%287%29.jpg Portfolio -

The Dubuque Arboretum Wedding, Ashley & Adam - Unique Twists This was one of the coolest bridesmaid gifts I’d ever seen! The maid of honor bought a clock, and stopped it at the exact moment Ashley and Adam became husband and wife at their ceremony. Then during her speech, she gifted it to them. It was so sweet and heartfelt, I’m sure the couple will cherish that clock for years to come! Adam and Ashley had SO many unique a fun elements to their wedding, but one of my personal favorites, was their song choice pamphlet. Music is so important to this couple, and they wanted their guests to understand the meanings behind every song they picked from their ceremony, to their grand entrance, to the couples very first dance, which was all laid out in the music pamphlet they handed out to everyone during the ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733250013796-ZKPUBQE7BQ9HEKM1Y7FG/couples-first-dance-wedding+%2865%29.jpg Portfolio - The Dubuque Arboretum Wedding, Ashley & Adam - The Details Another thing this couple did that I absolutely loved, was that they used so many vintage elements! All their signage was vintage, along with the plates their guests dined on, and their favors! The couple spent months thrifting mugs for their guests to take home as favors, and it was such a cute idea because everyone got to take home something different! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/a38df472-3917-4e5d-be75-2d1b3b0c47eb/dubuque-arboretum-wedding-ceremony.jpg Portfolio - The Dubuque Arboretum Wedding, Ashley & Adam - The Dubuque arboretum wedding ceremony The ceremony happened to be on one of the hottset days in all of September in Iowa… it was 93* degrees out… But the ceremony was so beautiful, who cared? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733250014939-MXYYW8SFO4PJFHVIP0ZQ/couples-first-dance-wedding+%2868%29.jpg Portfolio - The Dubuque Arboretum Wedding, Ashley & Adam - The Dubuque arboretum wedding reception Adam and Ashley’s wedding was the FIRST reception the Dubuque Arboretum ever had! So of course we had to make it special! After Adam and Ashley’s ceremony in the gardens, guests walked over to enjoy cocktail hour under the gazebo with a grazing table and open bar. Shortly after, the couple made their grand entrance, and everyone sat down for speeches and toasts. Nobody was expecting such a fun dinner after speeches and toasts however… The couple brought in a pizza food truck for their meal! It was such a hit and a fun twist compared to a traditional wedding meal! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733250002587-OPHONIJJ2TYIDTRBTX6L/couples-first-dance-wedding+%2847%29.jpg Portfolio -

The Midnight Gem Wedding, Amanda & Brett - Make it stand out Photo By: Ivory & Bliss https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733247257702-LYNH7O9PW58YXTW9E7T2/the-midnight-gem+%2819%29.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Amanda & Brett - the design of the midnight gem One of my favorite details from Amanda and Brett’s wedding at The Midnight Gem was their welcome signage—and yes, it was so beautifully done (not to pat myself on the back… but I might just a little). This design moment set the tone for the entire day and made an unforgettable first impression as guests arrived. For their welcome display, we used three multi-height black wooden cubes to create a modern, layered installation that felt intentional and elevated. Each cube featured custom Cricut lettering with Amanda and Brett’s names, their wedding date, and their venue, giving the signage a clean, personalized look while still feeling timeless. To soften the structure and add visual interest, I placed a lush floral arrangement atop one cube and styled candles on and around the others, creating depth, movement, and a warm, inviting glow. This welcome sign was definitely one to remember. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how unique and elegant the setup was as they entered, and it instantly became a focal point of the space. Thoughtful welcome signage like this does more than look pretty—it sets expectations for the experience ahead and gives guests that “wow” moment right from the start. One of the many reasons I love planning weddings at The Midnight Gem is their beautifully designed welcome area. It offers the perfect space for guests to gather before the ceremony, sign the guestbook, and drop off cards and gifts—all while remaining completely separate from the reception space. From a wedding planner’s perspective, this layout is a dream. It keeps the flow of the day seamless, prevents early peeks at the reception, and allows every space to be revealed intentionally. For couples getting married at The Midnight Gem in Iowa City, the welcome area provides endless opportunities for creative, statement-making details like Amanda and Brett’s signage. When paired with thoughtful design and strategic styling, it becomes more than just an entry point—it becomes part of the story of the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733245247956-K228S1T5WU3TY7S0ZF6F/Amanda+%26+Brett+36.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Amanda & Brett - The Midnight Gem Wedding Ceremony One of the standout benefits of hosting a wedding ceremony at The Midnight Gem is their incredible in-house rental options. Amanda and Brett took full advantage of this by selecting one of the venue’s ceremony arches, making the planning process seamless while still achieving a beautifully elevated look. With so many arches and backdrops to choose from, couples can easily find an option that fits their style without needing to source additional rentals. For Amanda and Brett’s ceremony, Ellie with Ellabank Blossoms added soft, romantic floral to the arch, transforming it into a stunning focal point for their vows. One of the smartest design decisions of the day? After the ceremony concluded, we seamlessly moved the entire floral-adorned arch indoors to be repurposed as reception décor. Not only is this an efficient use of rentals and florals, but it also allows couples to carry meaningful design elements throughout the entire wedding day—a detail both planners and couples love. Another reason The Midnight Gem is such a sought-after wedding venue in Iowa City is the thoughtful design of their ceremony space. The venue’s covered patio ensures that couples can confidently plan an outdoor wedding ceremony regardless of weather conditions. Rain or shine, this covered setup provides peace of mind while still offering the open-air feel so many couples dream of. Instead of traditional ceremony chairs, The Midnight Gem uses benches for guest seating, which offers incredible flexibility. From a wedding planner’s perspective, this is a huge win. Benches allow us to easily adjust spacing, customize the width of the aisle, and tailor the ceremony layout to each couple’s vision and guest count. And the best part? The benches are not permanent. If a couple wants a completely open layout, they can be removed entirely. Because of this flexibility, the covered patio space at The Midnight Gem can be transformed for so many uses beyond the ceremony. I’ve seen couples host cocktail hour there, create an outdoor lounge area, set up a cigar bar, or even use it as a gathering space for guests arriving early—especially for couples who choose to get married offsite. The options for this space are truly limitless, which is why it’s one of my favorite features of the venue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733245325614-J1ZQ1124WFUIA5WF2R43/Amanda+%26+Brett+50.png Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Amanda & Brett - The Midnight Gem Wedding Reception One of the things I love most about hosting wedding receptions at The Midnight Gem is just how much space the venue truly offers. Between the covered patio, uncovered patio, and the expansive reception hall, guests have multiple areas to lounge, mingle, and explore throughout the evening. This kind of layout is ideal for cocktail hour and beyond, allowing the celebration to feel dynamic and relaxed rather than crowded or confined. Following Amanda and Brett’s ceremony, guests made their way inside for cocktail hour, where the energy of the evening really began to build. With easy access to both indoor and outdoor spaces, guests were able to grab a drink, catch up with friends, and enjoy the flow of the venue while the reception space was being finalized. From a planning standpoint, this seamless transition is a huge plus and helps keep the timeline running smoothly without guests ever feeling rushed. Once cocktail hour wrapped up, Amanda and Brett were officially introduced into the reception, kicking off the celebration in the most exciting way. They immediately transitioned into their first dance, sharing a meaningful moment together in front of their family and friends before the night fully unfolded. Shortly after, they cut their cake—one of those classic reception moments that never gets old and always brings smiles all around. Dinner followed, and once each guest had been served, we moved right into speeches and toasts. This timing kept the evening flowing effortlessly and ensured guests were comfortable, engaged, and ready to enjoy every word shared. The toasts were heartfelt, personal, and filled with both laughter and emotion—adding another layer of connection to an already meaningful celebration. The Midnight Gem’s spacious reception hall and thoughtful layout make it an exceptional wedding venue in Iowa City for couples who want flexibility, comfort, and a great guest experience. Amanda and Brett’s reception is a perfect example of how a well-designed space can elevate every part of the evening—from cocktail hour to dinner and speeches—while keeping the celebration fun, seamless, and unforgettable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733247250661-WUQR5LA8CB6B18BBNAZS/the-midnight-gem+%289%29.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Amanda & Brett - Private Garter Removal One of my favorite modern reception moments from Amanda and Brett’s wedding at The Midnight Gem was their decision to opt for a private garter removal—and honestly, more couples should take notes. Let’s face it: traditional garter removals in front of your closest friends and family can feel awkward and uncomfortable. A private garter removal? Now that is intimate, intentional, and makes for incredible photos. Instead of making it a public reception moment, Amanda and Brett stepped into the groom’s suite with their photographer for a quiet, private garter removal. This allowed them to share a fun, flirty moment together without an audience, keeping the experience meaningful and relaxed while still capturing stunning, candid images. From a wedding planning perspective, this option is a win across the board—it preserves the tradition without the pressure and gives couples space to enjoy the moment on their own terms. The Midnight Gem’s thoughtfully designed layout makes moments like this incredibly easy to execute. With private suites just steps away from the reception space, couples can slip away briefly without disrupting the flow of the evening. It’s yet another example of how this Iowa City wedding venue supports personalized, modern wedding experiences that prioritize comfort, intention, and great photography. For couples who love the idea of a garter removal but not the spotlight that often comes with it, a private garter removal is the perfect alternative. Amanda and Brett’s choice proves that wedding traditions can absolutely be reimagined—and sometimes, the most memorable moments are the ones shared just between the two of you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733245145975-VVK6I6OBW87MFWW3B2GE/Amanda+%26+Brett+26.jpg Portfolio - The Midnight Gem Wedding, Amanda & Brett - Decor at the midnight gem One of the most important things to consider when designing a wedding reception at The Midnight Gem is the table layout. The venue exclusively offers long wooden farmhouse tables—no round tables—which naturally influences the overall reception design. Instead of clustering décor in the center of the table, we intentionally chose design elements that flowed the entire length of each table, creating a cohesive, elevated look that felt intentional rather than overcrowded. Amanda and Brett leaned into a clean, decluttered aesthetic for their reception décor, proving that simple design can still feel incredibly impactful. Their guest tables featured multi-height floating candles arranged down the center of each table, adding dimension and a soft romantic glow without obstructing conversation. Candlelight is always a favorite for evening receptions, and at The Midnight Gem, it enhances the warmth of the wood tables and the open reception space beautifully. To add softness and texture, we incorporated a greenery runner paired with a mauve table runner, bringing in subtle color while keeping the overall palette timeless and refined. The runners anchored the tablescape and complemented the venue’s natural wood tones, creating a design that felt both romantic and modern. Full place settings completed the look, giving each table a polished, elevated feel while still remaining approachable and guest-friendly. This style of reception décor works especially well for weddings at The Midnight Gem in Iowa City, where the architecture and layout already make a statement. By keeping the tables intentionally styled and visually balanced, Amanda and Brett’s reception décor enhanced the space rather than competing with it. It’s a perfect example of how thoughtful design—paired with an understanding of the venue—can create a wedding reception that feels timeless, cohesive, and effortlessly beautiful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733247268783-6CU1QDY0327CHGOE2T14/the-midnight-gem+%2843%29.jpg Portfolio -

Carper Vineyard and Winery Wedding, Mady & Jack - The design Mady and Jack had a beautiful color scheme of baby blue, sage, and ivory; It went so well with everything! On all the round tables, CamBam Floral designed stunning arrangements to be placed in the center of each table. I then went around behind them adding the white charger plates, baby blue napkins, dinner menus, and silverware. On the long tables, which the bridal party and family sat at, we added in blue taper candles and bud vases on a white chiffon table runner. We then placed white charger plates, baby blue napkins, dinner menus, and silverware just like the other tables. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733178769190-5Y90SPD28HY8QDB2CB4P/Mady+Jack+Married%21+-+035.jpg Portfolio - Carper Vineyard and Winery Wedding, Mady & Jack - Fun Details One of my favorite additions to any wedding, is when the couple includes their pets. Maybe that means bringing them to the venue to pose with or have them walk down the aisle, or it could even be when they name their signature drinks after them like Mady and Jack. While their dog Ollie was able to be apart of the wedding, their kitty Elliot sadly was not. So getting to include him in this way not only made the couple happy, but their guests got a kick out of it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733178782777-4O3PVK4WY70B3YFC9PL4/des-moines-outdoor-wedding-ceremony.jpg Portfolio - Carper Vineyard and Winery Wedding, Mady & Jack - The Ceremony Mady and Jack held their ceremony outside at Carper Vineyard, and it was stunning!

Guests had cocktail hour outside on the patio, getting to enjoy a photo backdrop and appetizers. After an hour we brought everyone in for the grand entrance, cake cutting, and dances. Guests enjoyed a nice italian meal before the party offically started! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733178766371-7CC7ZEIP2GFUMZ35K8TW/Mady+Jack+Married%21+-+007.jpg Portfolio -

Little Lights on the Lane Wedding, Hailey & Jamison - The Design Hailey and Jamison opted for more simple decor, spreading out pillar candles and budvases along a white chiffon table runner. We then had full place settings at each seat with white dinner plates, gold silverware, and a glass water goblet. The piece of decor that was really unique and that I LOVE however, is their table numbers! Their table numbers went from 1 to 24, and for each table number, the couple had photos of each other from when they were that age. So for table 6, the bride and groom had photos from when they were six on the card. Such a fun and memorable idea! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/5da50395-9bb0-4518-aa80-20dc38f48f13/little-lights-wedding-venue+%289%29.jpg Portfolio - Little Lights on the Lane Wedding, Hailey & Jamison - The bridal party I always love a bridal party dressedin emerald, and these bridesmaids are no exceptions! Each girl had their own style of dress that fit them, but they were all the same color! This is a big trend in the wedding world right now: Picking the color of bridesmaid dresses, but letting your girls pick the style they feel most comfortable in. The groomsmen looked snazzy in all black tuxes, and they paired really well with the ladies! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/e760338f-bf23-418d-9ab3-b1330106e4e9/little-lights-wedding-venue+%2813%29.jpg Portfolio - Little Lights on the Lane Wedding, Hailey & Jamison - The Ceremony The couple had their wedding ceremony outside at Little Lights on the Lane, under the venues big willow tree. While you can’t see it from this angle, the couple also stood infront of their black A Frame arch that had floral arrangements on it designed by Cassie with Parrott Floral. As you can see in the photo, Hailey and Jamison decided to do a sand ceremony as their unity for the ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/ef0ecaa7-bba2-47fd-a232-4667dc854334/little-lights-wedding-venue+%2826%29.jpg Portfolio - Little Lights on the Lane Wedding, Hailey & Jamison - The Reception The reception was a blast! While guests were eating dinner, the couple played the shoe game for their guests to enjoy, the definition of dinner and a show! While this photo shows Hailey and Jamison agreeing on things, the same cannot be said for when the DJ asked who was the better driver out of the two ;) It’s always funny when the couple disagrees but doesn’t know it! Dancing took place shortly after outside on the covered patio, allowing guests to dance under the edison bulbs and have the summer breeze to cool them off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/0fb6c01e-b344-475d-8b72-9d3f7fd71058/little-lights-wedding-venue+%2819%29.jpg Portfolio - Little Lights on the Lane Wedding, Hailey & Jamison - The Desserts The cool summer breeze wasn’t the only thing helping guests cool off during the reception! Hailey’s parents own a Dairy Queen, and they brought in blizzards for their desserts!

The Celebration Farm Wedding, Kyle & Kelly - The Celebration Farm Ceremony The Celebration Farms in Iowa City has a gorgeous outside ampitheater that is perfect for any outdoor ceremony! You honestly don’t need much when it comes to ceremony decor for this space, as nature plays a huge role in aesthetics! Surrounded by beautiful evergreen trees, this space really makes you feel like you’re secluded in your own little world! While the space itself is already so stunning, we still wanted to spruce up the aisle, so we added floral arrangements to each end of the chairs lining the aisle. I must say, it really did make a difference in the feel for the ceremony space overall. The Ampitheater can be rented out for your ceremony at an additional cost, and is rented as a first come first serve rental. While couples are still able to take photos at the ampitheater throughout the day, only the couple who booked it out is able to use it as their ceremony space. The ampitheater can seat up to 300 guests comfortably, and the Celebration Farm staff does all the chair setup and tear down so you have one less thing to worry about on your big day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/b7aec137-6fc2-424e-a3f9-094d191db906/celebration-farm-wedding+%2814%29.jpg Portfolio - The Celebration Farm Wedding, Kyle & Kelly - The Decor The Celebration Farms has a few pieces of decor they let couples use free of charge, so the couple opted to use the venues pillar candles, wood stumps, and votive candles. Their florist Ellie with Ellabank blossoms then went around and added in greenery and whiite buds to really spruce it up! I then went around to each place setting and laid out dinner plates, silverware, and menus. I LOVE adding full place settings like charger plates, dinner plates, silverware, napkins, menus, water goblets, etc. because it makes your guest tables feel more decorated and full. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/a9a2a3ba-5a70-4479-b59c-cac8844c43fb/celebration-farm-wedding+%2816%29.jpg Portfolio - The Celebration Farm Wedding, Kyle & Kelly - Welcome Table For the welcome table, we kept it pretty simple with couple photos, greenry and floral, and a few lanterns. Kyle and Kelly went with a standard guestbook AND a more unique twist for their guests to write messages on; They included a wine barrel lid! The wine barrel lid had the couples inital and last name engraved into it, and guests had the opportunity to sign that as well. After the wedding, the couple took it home and hung it on their wall to always remember the loved ones who celebrated with them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/25aecf83-0e7e-4e5b-a0a9-bb8b67e94da5/celebration-farm-wedding+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - The Celebration Farm Wedding, Kyle & Kelly - The Bridal Party One of my favorite things about Kyle and Kelly’s wedding, was that the couple dressed in white, while their bridal party dressed in all black. This allowed for the couple to really stand out in all of their bridal portraits, and the crowd during the reception! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1742404180528-6F6ZNYO7WM1BDIJT8ECF/celebration-farm-wedding+%2816%29.jpg Portfolio -

‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - The Details I gave TandemHart free range in creating the invitations and other stationary; afterall, I'm a wedding planner- I have no expirience with graphic design whatsoever. But like always, they completely knocked it out of the park! We stuck with ivory invitations that had gold accents since we were using so much color elsewhere, which overall really made the invitations stand out in all the detail shots! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/4cb5cece-7036-4d06-ae93-3262ca0d1956/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%283%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - Tablescape #1 For the decor, I was using a bright pastel color scheme and aiming for a victorian/Bridgerton vibe. I wanted the tablecloth to stand out since the decor was simple for this layout, so I seacred on the Nuage website and found this table cloth and immediately fell in love! I liked that the design was faded enough that it didn't pull too much attention from the table decor. For centerpieces I had Tulipsis Floral add in some greenery and stems for the budvases lining the table, and I added in some gold votive candles, taper candles with ivory candlesticks, and a blush wooden table number. I knew I wanted each place setting to feel extremley elegant, like you're sitting down for tea in the Queen's palace, so I placed gold beaded chargers with vintage floral plates, silk napkins, blush water goblets, and gold silverware, topped with a stunning menu created by TandemHart. Overall this was one of my favorite tables of the entire shoot- I thought it was stunning and the use of all the colors fit together perfectly! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/43acebe7-8461-4ca0-b5b8-23755d60304b/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%2820%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - Tablescape #2 For the second long table, I wanted to use a lillac linen because I rarely see that color used and I thought it'd fit perfectly with the other decor elements we added to the table. I paired it with a blush table runner to draw eyes to the center of the table where all the decor is located. I had Tulipsis Floral bring 2x smaller floral arrangements for this table that used light pastel colors to really bring the entire color scheme into this design. I then added some taper candles to add height to the table, and used mismatched candles sticks which where a mix of baby blue and ivory. I then placed some different colored votive candles around the center of the table, to really create a romantic feel, along with a few mismatched budvases so the floral didn't feel so sparse. I wanted to create that elegant feel at each place setting again, but I wanted it to be completely different from the previous table, so while I still had the beaded gold chargers, vintage floral plates, and gold silverware, I also added a sage crinkled napkin and a differently styled menu that I had tied blush lace around. Although it was a completely different setup, it was still similar enough that both tables fit together perfectly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/9891ea97-3143-4a64-8172-bdf42e6d6b67/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%2876%29.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - Tablescape #3 For the final table setup, I wanted to showcase a round table setup. I used one of my personal favorite centerpieces: the tall gold floral stand with hanging glass orbs and realistic LED candles. I know a lot of couples are afraid to use large centerpieces because they think their guests won't be able to see each other, but with this setup, the stand is tall enough that guests can see right through it without having their view obstructed. I paired the floral stand with different sized taper candles with baby blue candlesticks, gold votives, blush flower petal votives, and a few mismatched bud vases to help spread floral around the table. For the place settings, I again used the gold beaded charger plates, but I paired them with plain white plates, a differently styled dinner menu, sage water goblets, gold flatware, and a lilac napkin tied with a strand of greenery. The linens I used were a plain baby blue round linen, topped with a sequin swirled ivory overlay. I loved the idea of having another specialy designed linen, but wanted the pattern to again be muted enough so it wouldn't pull focus from the centerpieces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/7c8bf15f-e249-4e5b-a496-b8953b6e6247/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%2879%29.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - The Headtable I had a very specific vision for the headtable right from the very beginning. As mentioned above, one of my favorite decor elements is to have the hanging glass orbs with LED candles- I just think it looks so cool! Especially when the lights go down for the dancing hour! So I started with the idea of having the hanging orbs involved, and having them hang off a type of trellis arbor behind the headtable. Then I thought about placing floral all along the top and having it flow down in a sort of whimsical way. I had Tulipsis Floral also place a large floral arrangement at the front of the headtable too, to really give off a gardeny feel. I wanted this space to feel like a fairy garden with all the candle light and floral, because what's more magical than a fairy garden?! I placed a vintage princess loveseat with gold trim behind the headtable for the bride and groom to sit in to give off that luxurious and elegant feel. Then for their place settings they had gold beaded chargers with vintage floral plates, blush silk napkins, and gold flatware, topped with a stunning menu created by TandemHart. The linens used for the headtable were also from Nuage . We used a tan linen for the underlay, and the 'White Claire' overlay for the top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/4bb05313-e870-4afb-8944-ec2a5dc8f46d/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%2817%29.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - The Lounge We set up a stunning seating area for guests to enjoy during the reception, but it also served as a really cool photo op for the bride and groom! Borrow My Vintage brought in all the furniture, while Tulipsis Floral went in behind the movers and added all these beautiful floral arrangements! I went in and added some pillar candles to give it that romantic and homey feel, and viola, a perfect seating setup! We even ended up taking the mauve couch outside for sunset photos which turned out INCREDIBLE! If you add any furniture pieces to your wedding day, I highly recommend you take some solo pictures with it outside. I mean, just look at how cool this photo turned out after we brought the couch outside (photo included below). Since the florist attatched the top righthand floral arrangement to the couch via clamps, it was super easy to move and we didn't have to do any flower fluffing after the move. The bottom lefthand arrangement was a floor piece so we just picked it up and moved it outside next to the couch. As I'm sure you can tell by the photo, we also had some bubble guns we used during the sunset photos and the pictures turned out so cute! I thought the bubbles added such a cool fairytale vibe to the overall style of the photos, and the bride loved it! I wanted to include the bubble guns in this shot because I wanted to show couples that you can reuse things (like bubble guns) for your staged grand exit AND your bridal photos! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733173250120-7Q2UOHBMDCBJ8ZKERDPX/Elizabeth+SS+51.jpg Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733173214410-X2LU00ATFB6Z5VA8V1D2/Elizabeth+Styled+Shoot+23.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733173218486-2C1OGMP4G004F7I84XVV/Elizabeth+Styled+Shoot+34.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733173226061-NKJR80A2M0T3T2W1NAOX/Elizabeth+Styled+Shoot+92.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733173229749-FHUTQGIQCXG1OPHV28S0/Elizabeth+Styled+Shoot+104.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733173232985-BCDVGB6H226LK0OZVDYC/Elizabeth+Styled+Shoot+107.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733173240738-EJA2EBPSS40VBAQN3X7E/Elizabeth+Styled+Shoot+110.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/d6eca30f-e595-4322-8a93-7fbfc66c1acf/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%2813%29.jpg Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - The desserts I deceded to go with Ami's Cakes for the cake design because she has such an incredible eye for detail. Ami would call me and ask what my vision was for the cake, and all I could really say was 'pastel, fairytale, bridgerton vibes' and thats it. I trusted her to create something truly unique and stunning, that I just wanted to give her creative freedom to make whatever she wanted- and sometimes that's best. Beacsue when you give an artist creative freedom, thats when something truly incredible gets made. For the dessert setup, I knew I wanted to bring in a piece from Borrow My Vintage, and when I saw this vintage white vanity, I knew it'd be perfect for the dessert display. I told Tulipsis Floral about my vision of having floral cascade out of the drawers, but never in a million years did I think it was going to look this good! They really took my idea and made it look even cooler than what I pictured in my head. The rest of the desserts were made by The Hangry Lady, because I wanted a very unique dessert setup, almost like something from a tea party. I got these really cool glass boxes with gold trim that we displayed the desserts in, and we staggered them at different heights to really add in depth to the dessert table. We also placed a vintage mirror under the cake stand and displayed dessert cakes on that as well, which was so cool and unique! I then placed some extra taper candles and votive candles on the vanity to offer up some candlelight to give off a romantic feel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/a197ef4f-7506-4fc3-8562-893a0c7ffbd0/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%2828%29.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - Welcome Table We used the same setup for the entry table, but we moved a few things around. We still had the vintage vanity and floral arrangements, and we even decided to keep the cake displayed there because it was such a stunning piece that I felt like it had to be shown off as much as possible! I used 2x whitewashed vintage windows on the entry table to display different things. The window in the bottom right was used to display the seating chart, while the window atop the vanity is a new wedding trend I wanted to try out. I call it 'Love Through Generations', and the point of it is to display the wedding photos of your family members over the years! I displayed photos of my great grandma, all 3x sets of my grandparents, my parents wedding, along with my older sisters and cousins wedding. It was really fun to go hunting for old wedding photos through my grandparents photo albulms, and it was really cool to see the whole thing put together! I included one of my favorite wedding trends as well, the photo guestbook with an instamax polaroid camera. Couples have been loving the idea of a photo guestbook where guests take a photo of themselves and tape it in a scrapbook while writing their well wishes to the couple. It's way more fun and interactive than a normal guestbook, and it's more fun to look back on! In the bottom lefthand corner you can see some vintage blue luggages stacked on one another. That's my version of an 'Attending from Heaven' table with a little bit of spice (better photo below). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/18903f84-0f10-4ebc-8cbc-2e6fac891163/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%2829%29.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - Memorial Table Most couples just stick some photos up in the corner of a room of their lost loved ones, but I wanted to do something different; something more unique. Afterall, you have this huge decor setup, why not do something more unique for your memorial table? So, I stacked some vintage blue suitcases and placed the photos of lost loved ones on different angles of that, along with my 'Attending from Heaven' sign. If I had more space on the vanity I probably would've placed it on that, but honestly it looked really cool on the ground next to the entry table! It helped add in different heights to the space, and that pop of blue looked really good in the photos! It helped the area look more full, like the decor was planned out very strategically trying to cover every blank space the venue had. However It would've looked good on a low side table too, off to the side of the entry table like it is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/3582db4d-b90d-48e3-9766-66b5e314ccc7/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%2895%29.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - Cocktail Hour I wanted to do something unique for guests when the entered the venue, and although I love the idea of a champagne wall, they're not that popular anymore. Most guests don't drink champagne, but I've seen such cool champagne wall displays that I knew I wanted to use one, but for a different purpose. Thats how I got the idea of a charcuterie wall. I had The Hangry Lady put together some charcuterie cups, and we displayed them on the champagne wall for guests to grab as they entered the venue for cocktail hour. It was such a cute idea, and while The Hangry Lady had her logo sticker on the cups, we easily could've changed it to be a monogram of the couples initals or something else on each cup instead! Then to the right of that we had another example of a seating chart, this time using a vintage gold mirror. I LOVE using mirrors in wedding setups, and it could be something as simple as using your free standing mirror in your bedroom for your wedding (lord knows I've used my home mirrors for weddings before). For this display though, I had TandemHart print out ivory namecards with gold foil, then I hung them on the mirror with gold wax stamps I had created earlier in the week. I hung them on the mirror using double sided tape so they were easy for guests to take off, and didn't leave residue on the mirror afterwards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/5e3c5ec7-4595-4cf1-9a74-015c80fa4dc7/midnight-gem-wedding-venue+%2848%29.png Portfolio - ‘The Elizabeth’ a Bridgerton Styled Shoot - Getting Ready The bridal makeup is easily some of my favorites that I've ever seen. I love that we were able to incorporate pearls in the brides hair, and they stuck surprisingly well throughout the day! Her makeup was a simple wedding day glam, and we had the hair stylist give her an updo to really show off her jewelry and the wedding dress. The lace bridal robe shes wearing is a special robe from Jocelyn Taylor Bridal that goes with a specific dress, but an alterations specialist could make you a lace bridal robe as well from the remnants of your wedding dress. The white silk PJ's I bought off Amazon, and I steamed them the day before so there would be no crinkles. The bride also got a spray tan a few days before from Spray Tans By Megan so she would have that nice wedding day glow (the groom also got a spray tan so he could match the bride in their wedding photos). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64f23aae31e24b45300fd011/1733173637701-3LBSFI66JVF7XWUAKU4Y/Elizabeth+Styled+Shoot+67.png Portfolio -
