letter FROM OUR editor
Congratulations on your engagement! As you begin to stress out and wonder how you are ever going to get all this planning done, Heartland Wedding Ideas is here to be your wedding planning secret weapon. Our pages are full of hand-picked vendors that are ready to bring to life the wedding of your dreams, along with real weddings from Iowa that will give you the perfect inspiration for your dream soiree. As a lover of all things weddings, I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to launch Heartland Wedding Ideas and share my passion with all of you. Over the past 5 years as a wedding coordinator, I have planned hundreds of perfect weddings, and have had the chance to work with many incredible wedding vendors. Through Heartland Wedding Ideas, I can now share that knowledge and help you create the perfect day. I encourage you to swoon over all the darling details in these pages, and use them to inspire a curated look all your own, but don’t get too wrapped up in this process. The most important thing is that you are marrying the one person who will not just inspire the perfect wedding day, but will continue to inspire you for a lifetime.
