Real Weddings | Peri & Billy, Part I

Last month, one of our own, Peri, married her best friend, Billy.  Their ceremony was held at Grace United Methodist Church in Des Moines, and their reception was at Zart1312 downtown Des Moines.  They had been planning their wedding for about two years, so no detail was overlooked, and everything turned out absolutely gorgeous.  The theme of the day was modern and sophisticated, with a little bit of romance thrown in.  Their photographer, Lindsay's Photography, did not disappoint and we could not wait to share these photos with you!

The bride's bouquet

The guys getting ready - multitasking at its finest!

The church was absolutely gorgeous, so we didn't have to add much.  We lined the front with floral arrangements and white flower petals, and since they didn't have a flower girl, we sprinkled a few petals up to the table where they signed their marriage license.  

The bridesmaids and their bouquets

We're slightly obsessed with these photos with the bright red door behind - perfection!  

It rained for a few minutes after their ceremony, but rain makes for some pretty adorable umbrella shots!  

Let the party begin!

After the ceremony, the wedding party drove around and took some photos around downtown Des Moines

These photos are from the steps of the Statehouse building looking down to downtown Des Moines.  

Make sure to come back tomorrow for more of Peri and Billy's wedding photos!!
