We had the most incredible time celebrating the release of our 2026 Book of Weddings with some of Iowa’s most talented wedding professionals at the beautiful Little Lights on the Lane!

Every detail of the event was intentionally curated by Bright DeSigns, whose creative vision transformed the venue into an elegant Amalfi Coast-inspired celebration. As guests arrived, they were welcomed by the sounds of Madison Loree Violinist and immersed in a thoughtfully layered design featuring lush floral installations by Ella Floral Design, stylish banquettes and striped umbrellas from Monarch Events, rich dark wood chairs, linens, and candles from Unique Events and custom stationery and signage by Noted Design that tied every element together.

Every detail of the event was thoughtfully planned and designed by Bright DeSigns, whose creative vision transformed the space into a stunning Amalfi Coast-inspired celebration. Guests were serenaded by Madison Loree Violinist as they were welcomed into the space with beautiful floral installations by Ella Floral Design, stylish banquettes and umbrellas from Monarch Events and dark brown chairs and tables capes at Unique Events, and custom stationery and signage from Noted Design that tied every detail together perfectly.

Throughout the afternoon, guests enjoyed a delicious Italian-inspired meal from Zest Catering Co., sweet cupcakes from Sweet Cactus Bakery, and handcrafted cocktails from Little Lights on the Lane. DSM Dance Party DJs kept the energy high with live music and provided the staging for our cover reveal!

Jen Weinman Photography beautifully documented every detail of the event, while The Carmenattes captured the celebration on film and The Wedding Edit documented all of the behind-the-scenes moments. Guests also enjoyed interactive experiences from Lumiere Collective’s permanent jewelry, Pop Balloon Design’s eye-catching installations custom to the theme, and some vendor guests traveled to the venue using transportation provided by Dahlia Darling & Co.

A heartfelt thank you to every talented vendor who helped make this celebration one for the books—quite literally.
