{ Ask Cynthia }: Real Weddings | Joanne & Blake, Part I

Over Labor Day weekend, we were so honored to be a part of Joanne and Blake's big day. Their ceremony, social hour, and reception all took place at the gorgeous Salisbury House here in Des Moines, and it was all captured by Jill Brown Photography. Since there's so many beautiful shots, we decided to break their day into multiple posts, so here's the first! Joanne and Blake got ready separately, but had a first look - their first look is one of the most adorable ones we've seen! Joanne wanted the girls' bouquets to be all different and requested succulents be included - the bright pops of color and green succulents were perfect with the soft gray of the bridesmaids' dresses and the guys' suits.

Congratulations Joanne and Blake!
