Each day, we have the privilege of showcasing beautiful weddings and love stories all across the state of Iowa. Our goal is bring light to the talented vendors and beautiful weddings that take place here in the local community and it was so exciting to highlight the Vows that Wow features even more and a few other standout celebrations in 2025!

With that, we are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated Wed Society Iowa Wedding of the Year! This fan-favorite celebration went up against 12 other beautiful weddings on Instagram Stories and ultimately captured hearts with its unforgettable details and the showstopping talent of our incredible local vendors. Up next, this Iowa wedding will move on to be considered for Wed Society’s National Wedding of the Year 2025. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted, to our inspiring couple, and to the dream team of
creatives who brought this unforgettable wedding vision to life!

Bailey & Ryan celebrated their love in Des Moines surrounded by family and friends. Bailey looked radiant in her Schaffer’s bridal gown, while Ryan was sharp in his Schaffer’s tux. With light pastels and soft pinks brought to life by Shelly Sarver Designs and a touch of moody romance woven throughout the reception, every detail – beautifully planned and coordinated by Honey and Joy Events – came together for a truly stunning celebration.

Congratulations to the lovely couple and all of the vendors apart of this beautiful day and to all of the couples + vendors who were a part of this fun Wedding of the Year Celebration!
