Casino Royale

Check out how we took this corporate casino night to the next level with custom builds and specialty furniture!

Our client was interested in bold statement pieces that would make attendees feel like they had taken a flight to Vegas. The life-size playing cards and poker chips, made for a perfect photo op upon arrival.

Wildflower literally never disappoints with their unique floral arrangements!

Our newest banquette -The Sloan- made its debut. This sleek velvet look is a perfect way to add class to any event.

When guests entered the casino hall they had a glitz and glam photo op complete with a custom neon sign by Mariglow Neon.

Royal Flush Gaming provided an excellent gaming experience for all event attendees, from Blackjack to Texas Hold ‘Em everyone was able to find a table to try their luck at.

Roller Romance

If you know me well, you know one of my favorite pastimes is rollerskating, so when Aubrey from Midwest Meets Design asked us to bring our rentals out for a fun, roller rink inspired shoot at Tamory Hall, I said HECK YES.

This shoot was playful, colorful, and the florals from M.Klyn Floral Design were positively perfect. Scroll through for some bold event inspiration photographed by the talented Verdigris Photography & Design.

Sydney + Josh

This sweet couple rented our White Rose Floral Wall for their big day at Curate DSM, and used it as a backdrop for their ceremony + a photo op during the reception. When the talented Alecca Synclair sent us these photos, I had to share! Scroll through to see the progression of the ceremony, from Josh seeing Sydney first walk down the aisle, to the moment they say “I do.”

And if you are a fan of the floral wall, you might want to hop on our email list. We’ve got some new floral walls we will be unveiling for 2023, and our email friends will be the first to know about them.

All of these pictures are taken by Alecca Synclair, wedding and elopement photographer. If you are getting married, be sure to check her out!

Congrats to Sydney and Josh! Thanks for letting us be part of your celebration!

Spring is for Lovers

When planner and stylist, Sarah Burt sent over her creative vision for this shoot, we knew it was going to be a showstopper. Scroll through for some colorful inspiration from our day spent at Mainframe Studios.

All photos by the incredible Laura Wills Photography team. Laura and her team were so fabulous and fun to work with, so if you’re on the hunt for a photographer be sure to keep them at the top of your list!

To set the stage, Taylor Boesen, owner of White Willow Events turned our Sweetheart Swing into the statement piece of our dreams!!!! I don’t know if I’ll ever get over these fun florals.

Sarah Bergan, with Vowed Vintage, brought in the perfect tableware to compliment the food and beverage provided by our friends at Tangerine Food Company.

A highlight of the shoot was obviously the bridal gowns by Schaffer’s Bridal. And can we get a virtual hand clap for these models? I mean, C’mon. STUNNING.

It was also so fun for us to bring some of our new lounge pieces out for this shoot, like the ivory barrel chairs seen below. To check out our ever-growing lounge inventory, click here.

Western Glamping Styled Shoot

We love the way this Western inspired photo shoot hosted by The Heartland Muse incorporated our Lux Tent! If you want your wedding day to have a subtle Western flair, scroll through for some great inspiration. All photos by the talented Shelby Sawyer.

This shoot took place at Country Lane Lodge, located in Adel, Iowa. The venue is surrounded by beautiful greenery making you feel removed from reality (while still being a convenient 30 minute drive from Des Moines airport!). Outside the Lux Tent, Vowed Picnics put together a perfect picnic setup.

There were so many great details added to the shoot to give it just the right amount of Western. Like the accessories from local jeweler, Kin.DSM + the stationary from Montana based designer Alex Ryan with Summit and Sage. And I have to admit I love the Ranch Water touch. I know it’s not everyone’s favorite thing, but I’m a sucker for some cute branding.

With any shoot we are part of, my favorite aspect is always the florals, and Midwest Blooms Co. did not disappoint. The arrangement she did for the interior Lux Tent pole had us swoooooning.

And I can’t forget to mention that drop dead GORGEOUS gown custom designed by Dame and Maiden and the makeup magic by Candescent Artistry.

Love is Groovy

This 70s inspired shoot took place right in the middle of our busy season, but man oh man was it worth it! We had so much fun seeing the creative vision from our friends at Yours Truly Weddings and Events and Vowed Vintage come to life. And the photography talent of Ali, from Rushstreet Photography, produced the dreamiest vibes. So turn on a record and scroll through to see how the magic played out.

The shoot took place on the property of an organic farm in Waukee, Iowa. I met the owner while out location scouting. I stopped by to get some food at their restaurant and after chatting with the owner for a bit he said, “why don’t you do the shoot here? My farm, is your farm!” He and his family that help run the restaurant are the sweetest and the food was delicious. So if you are looking for a great restaurant option on the outskirts of Waukee, be sure to check out LT Organic Farms. Their beautiful green grounds were the perfect backdrop for this colorful session.

All the vendors involved in the shoot played perfectly with our 70s theme. From custom clay earrings designed by Midwest Moons, to the dreamy macrame that Bekka from Moonlight Macrame created. I swear the cookies Frosted By Autumn made tasted JUST as good as they looked. And of course, I can’t forget the artistry in Morgan’s signs, seating chart, and more. Check out The Blush and Birch to see more samples of Morgan’s work!

Florals for the shoot were done by the incredibly talented Mandy from M. Klyn Florals. Mandy runs a floral studio out of Pella and everything she touches becomes pure magic.

We were lucky to have Sam from Hello Darlin’ Glam, do Emma’s hair and makeup for the shoot. Emma is drop dead gorgeous always, and I loved the way Sam gave her look a 70’s flare. It all coordinated perfectly with attire from Modern Dress, a boutique located in Boone, Iowa and Tyler’s suite from Skeffington’s.

Thanks to all involved in this groovy day!
