Wedding Inspirations | Romantic Wedding

There's no better way to start the week off right than an absolutely gorgeous and romantic wedding from the Wedding Chicks. The bride's bouquet is breathtaking, we love the color of the bridesmaid dresses (same color, but different necklines!), a lovely stationery suite, a yummy milk and cookies bar, and an adorable send-off with bubbles! Happy Monday!

PS, looking for these folding chairs for your wedding or event? We've got 'em at Vintage Love, Rentals & annessi!

Week in Review

It was a bitter-cold week here in Des Moines, but that never stops us from getting ready for our bridal shows and dreaming about gorgeous weddings! Make sure you didn't miss anything this week:

Would you consider balloons for your wedding?
Need furniture, decor, lighting, tables, chairs, and more for your wedding?
Are you and your future spouse mint-to-be?
Remember this gorgeous vintage wedding from last summer? We're still reminiscing ...
Do you love wedding cake as much as we do?

Real Weddings | Vintage Celebration Farm Wedding

Late last summer we had the pleasure of helping Liz & Adrian with their big day at the Celebration Farm in Solon, near Iowa City. We already shared a few photos and info with you here. They were an absolute delight to work with, and chose a fun vintage feel for their day. Their ceremony was gorgeous, and Liz even sang Adrian a song at their social hour in front of all their guests. Their flowers and decor had so much fun color and texture, and their cake topper was a darling little sheep couple, as both their families have a background in sheep.

Liz & Adrian chose Carrie Geno from Geno Photography for their photographer - we recently received even more of their photos, and since we love them so much, we couldn't wait to share them with you! Enjoy!
