Wedding Inspirations | Beautiful Flowers

We love beautiful flowers. We think that they add style, color, texture and excitement to a wedding and we always choose real flowers over faux, since many beautiful blooms are fairly inexpensive. There are several ways to cut down on costs for your wedding and still have lush blooms that define your style.
1. Use seasonal blooms
2. Use a less expensive flower as your base and fill in with special blooms that really make an impact.
3. Go monochromatic. An all one color bouquet or arrangement is very chic.
4. Trust your florist. Don't get hung up on the types of flowers used, but rather the look and feel of the overall design. Mother Nature does not always cooperate when it comes to plants; wind, rain, hail, pests, etc. can all affect whether your chosen wedding flower is available on your date. Allow flexiblity and your wedding flowers are sure to turn out absolutely beautiful!

Real Weddings | Stephanie & Reed

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of working with Stephanie and Reed. This couple was so much fun to work with, and we are so excited to share these photos with you from Drescher Photography! We have worked with this photography duo many times, so when we knew Missy and James was the chosen talent for this wedding, we were super excited.
Both the ceremony and reception were held in Iowa City, with their reception at HotelVetro, the same place the couple met! In fact, their head table overlooked the very spot that Stephanie and Reed's eyes first landed on each other [we love romance!]. The Bride was glowing in her gorgeous one strap dress, and we love the modern choice of gray for the guys' tuxes. Their choice of shades of blue turned out beautifully with the overall feel of the day very modern, romantic and sophisticated.

Congratulations to Stephanie and Reed!
