Lots of love in the new year!

We're raising a glass and looking forward to new beginnings. As Heartland Wedding Ideas grows, we're working more and more with our friends in Eastern Iowa and will be bringing you more styled shoots (like this one!) and real weddings from the region to help you plan your big day! We look forward to creating even more for you in 2022. Cheers and Happy New Year! 

The views of the Vineyard.

Cedar Ridge Winery & Distillery has brought Napa Valley to Swisher, Iowa. Located minutes from both Cedar Rapids and Iowa City, your guests will arrive to sweeping views of the vineyard. And of course, enjoy handcrafted cocktails and wines in the Tasting Room! Capture it all with photography that fits your style from Carter Photography.

Style that fits YOU.

From decor to floral, styling and more, Unique Events can set the stage for your ceremony. And with a flip of the arrangement, they can create your dreamy reception space, too. With their hands-on team, they can help you create the perfect look to fit your personalities, just right for your special day. We adore their florals, and the hanging centerpiece with added bistro lights gives it that moody glow all night long.

Shift your decor from ceremony to reception by bringing the same pieces that surrounded your "I-Do's" to the dining hall. Just make sure you have that event planner or trusted friend to keep the burden of moving things from place to place off family or the wedding party.
