Changes can equal great things!
I am sure that you have noticed the lack of postings lately. We apologize for the bare spots and ask you to bear with us as we are in the middle of some great company changes.
This past year was one of our largest years ever as well as our most challenging year. [It is probably never a good idea to start 3 new businesses in less than 9 months!] Where some people see a lack of services, we have always looked at the glass half full and pulled up the bootstraps to "get to work!" Thus, the three new services that our company now offers. However, as it is in the entrepreneurial world, new work can pull you in many directions, so while we have been playing catch up this fall, as the colder weather starts to set in we can now tackle those new web sites, blog changes, updates and letting you, our trusted friends, know that we will be entering 2014 with more ideas, great services and a promise to attention to suburb client service.
We know that the wait will be worth it as we introduce new writers, more material for your inspiration and lots of new ideas. We want to stay ahead of the trends and maybe set a few of them ourselves! In the meantime, remember to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
Need something to do this weekend? Want to meet the gang in person? Come visit us at Honey Creek Resort State Park this Sunday for a delicious cupcake, popcorn buffet and a glass of apple cider. Talk wedding "stuff" and pick our brains for your own beautiful event style. We have lots of ideas to share and would love hearing about your wedding plans.

Bridal Show Happenings
If you or someone you know is planning a wedding, then the upcoming spring Bridal Show at the Iowa Memorial Union Main Lounge on February 19th is the perfect place for you!
If you have been to other bridal shows, then you know that they can be crowded places where it is the norm to grab a business card and maybe contact the vendor in question when it is convenient for them. A Preferred Bridal Show is a different than the norm. We place the emphasis on you the guest in a space that invites warm conversation.
You will be greeted at the door with a glass of wine or sparkling cider, music and a relaxed atmosphere where there is no pipe and drape, no ridged pathways, only a comfortable setting with extremely competent vendors wanting to help you plan the perfect event.
Our Runway Fashion Shows are face paced showing the latest in designer fashions.
Our vendors are highly trained and professional, some of Iowa's best.
There are food samples to tempt, interesting table decor to inspire and Look Books for ideas gathered from all over the world.
A Preferred Bridal Show is NOT your ordinary bridal show. Come see what a difference we can make in helping you plan your event. Need more information? Want to see who you will find? Visit www.WeddingsinIowa.com and click on the show and events page to see what a Preferred Bridal show is all about. You can always call us at 319-321-6368 or 515-201-8070 if you prefer.
