Rollins Mansion Delight - Katie Lindgren Photography

When the weather decides that it wants to rain on your parade, what to do?  Plan II goes into action! We loved styling this wedding at Rollins Mansion. Katie Lindgren Photography did such an amazing job of capturing the day and the details that made this wedding so unique, you'd never know that threatening skies put the damper on an outside reception. Never to worry, the couple knew that the inside of this beautiful downtown Des Moines mansion could look just as good. We couldn't agree more! 
Thank you Andrea and Ryan for letting us be a part of your amazing wedding day!

We have a really exciting post for you today. A few weeks ago, we worked with some of the most amazing vendors in the area for this gorgeous stylized shoot at Rollins Mansion. David and Bethany, from Dreamstate Photography, captured all of the beautiful images and details perfectly! We can not get over how absolutely perfect the shoot turned out!

Inspired by the gorgeous old-world, English tudor style architecture of the mansion, this shoot is filled with beautiful vintage furniture, china and accessories from Vintage Love Rentals and annessi. Food Love set up an exquisite dessert display using delicious treats from Double Dipped Decadence and Let Them Eat Cake. The stunning stationary and escort display was put together by Happily Accepts.
