Rachel and TJ’s had the sweetest June wedding with so many memorable moments. The day began with a beautiful, traditional church ceremony, where TJ saw his stunning bride for the first time as she walked down the aisle. After exchanging vows in front of their loved ones, the couple shared a private, intimate moment to exchange personal vows alone.

After a few tears reading their vows, they headed to a picturesque park for more photos. The bridesmaids’ individually styled dresses that were soft and neutral toned blended together perfectly with the blush pink and ivory florals. They also visited Drake University, their alma mater, to include a special nod to where their love story began.

The evening’s festivities were held at the Des Moines Heritage Center, where blush pink flowers and elegant gold and white décor enhanced the open space. A live band kept the celebration lively, and Rachel and TJ snuck away for a few sunset photos by the flowers and railroad tracks. Of course, they joined back inside for the party to show off some of their own dance moves!
