As the new year begins, so does a fresh season of love stories — and we’re honored to be part of yours. This issue of Heartland Wedding Ideas is filled with cozy inspiration and personal touches, from Anna + Alex’s snowy Iowa City celebration to Natalie + Vince’s vibrant Des Moines I-dos, proving every love story can be beautifully unique.
We’re also featuring a bright, joyful styled shoot at The Chateau at White Oak, bursting with lemony charm and Italian flair — a little sunshine for this time of year.
This season also brings change behind the scenes. After many years of building this brand together, my co-editor and createive partner, Lisa B., is leaving the Heartland team. I'm grateful for the ways she pushed this magazine forward and the fun we had along the way.
And we’re expanding! This year you’ll find Heartland Wedding Ideas at wedding shows in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and now Omaha. For even more inspiration (plus a free mailed copy), join the I-Do Crew at heartlandweddingideas.com/ido-crew-signup.
