We are excited to kick off the issue with a beautiful styled shoot. The historical elegance of the venue is a one of a kind venue in downtown Des Moines, IA and wait until you see the candlelit staircase, gorg! Our first 'It's My Big Day' is in Eastern Iowa featuring vintage stylings for Olivia + Nelson's wedding. The outdoor amphitheater provided the perfect natural backdrop for their day. Next, we go to Central Iowa for an elopement with Megan + Eric. The photo opportunities made this wedding unique and fun to follow. We hope that you find some inspiration, ideas, and vendors for your upcoming wedding. Don't forget to visit us at heartlandweddingideas.com for additional content and wedding professionals.
