With a new year, comes new trends. Let’s keep in mind that these ever so popular sources are looking towards a completely different demographic than what I’m seeing in Northeast Iowa – which means, take this with a grain of salt.

The Wedding Nest is a deceiving name for everything this business encompasses. Yes, we love weddings – the planning, the decorating, the love! However, The Wedding Nest is a business that does so much more than just weddings.

Your big day is finally here and, as you’re waking up, you might find yourself asking, “Now what?”

Your wedding day is going to fly by and we cannot stress this enough. No matter what, the most important thing to remember is that this is your wedding day! Be happy. Smile. Laugh. Take it all in. The day you’ve been dreaming of for forever is here and it’s important that you don’t let little things get you down.

In rural Iowa, cocktails look a lot like a can of Busch Light and a Captain with Coke. If you’re planning your wedding, that might be the perfect time to step up the game and offer fun spirits to celebrate. Whether you’re planning the bar for the event or looking to include signature his and hers drink menu there’s a lot to consider.

If you’re the guest at the big event, you want to give the best, most memorable gift for the newlyweds, while also staying within your budget. However, as a couple, you just want the guests to stick to the registry that you worked so hard to put together.
