Elegant Blush + Gold Summer Wedding

I'm a bit jealous of these bridesmaids, with their dreamy dresses and beautiful bouquets with peonies galore - all future brides take note: this is how you make your girlfriends really happy. These lucky ladies celebrated the blushing Bride with a classically elegant affair at the Glen Oaks Country Club and Aly Carroll snapped every pink and gold detail.

From Aly Carroll Photography... Jeff and Julia met at the University of Northern Iowa in 2009. After graduating, they moved to North Carolina to get their masters degrees, Jeff in Geology and Julia in Counseling. For their four year anniversary they went on a Caribbean cruise where Jeff proposed and Julia said yes. After graduating from East Carolina University they moved back home to Iowa to begin their married life together.

Julia always dreamed of her wedding and every detail of it. Jeff just wanted to have a great time with all of their loved ones and let Julia create the details of the event. The wedding was planned from North Carolina, but took place at Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines, Iowa. It was challenging to plan from a distance, but they made it happen.

The wedding was a classic elegant affair with blush and gold details. The couple wed outside and held the reception inside the country club. Guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvre pairings before sitting down to a meal and enjoying the couple's unique wedding story film. The evening was complete with dancing on the outside veranda, a photobooth, cocktail ice luge, sparklers, and s'mores to entertain guests. The children had their own space to play, snack, and watch a special magician. Jeff and Julia wanted guests to be entertained at their wedding and to have plenty of things to do. It was everything they dreamed of and so much more.
