Week after week, our team is privileged to share beautiful weddings across Iowa, submitted by talented wedding pros and the incredible couples they serve. Each month, we select one truly unforgettable wedding to showcase – one that stands out for its creativity and pure celebration. For this month’s Vows That Wow, we’re thrilled to feature Bailey + Ryan Schroder!
With thoughtful planning, lush florals, and fashion-forward style, Bailey and Ryan created a celebration that reflected who they truly are as a couple.
The Wedding Weekend
Bailey’s vision was a two-day celebration where everyone could relax, have fun, and make memories together. By the time Saturday rolled around, guests already felt like family.
Honey & Joy Events took the reins on planning, designing, and coordinating everything, from the flow of the weekend to the signage and invitations that tied it all together. Their thoughtful approach meant Bailey and Ryan could stay present and fully enjoy the time with their loved ones.
The Style
Bailey looked stunning in her off-the-shoulder gown from Schaffer’s Bridal – timeless with just the right amount of trendy detail. Ryan kept it classic in a sharp tux, also from Schaffer’s, and together they made a seriously striking pair.
Flowers were a major highlight of the day thanks to Shelly Sarver Designs. The ceremony aisle was filled with lush arrangements, and beautiful floral installs framed the couple as they said “I do.” Later, those same blooms reappeared in the reception space surrounding the sweetheart table. Each table was also enhanced by incredible centerpieces with texture and color that felt modern yet natural.
The Celebration
After a heartfelt ceremony, the celebration only picked up from there. Guests found their seats with the help of a unique envelope seating chart created by Honey & Joy Events. A luxe ice sculpture doubled as a martini station (hello, espresso martinis!) and live music kept the dance floor packed well into the night.
Lasting Memories
Bailey and Ryan’s wedding weekend was the kind of celebration that lingers in your heart. It wasn’t just about one day; it was about building community, celebrating love, and creating space for meaningful connection. Thanks to an incredible team of vendors and family behind them, Bailey and Ryan’s vision became a reality.
Congratulations, Bailey + Ryan! Your wedding was an unforgettable celebration of love, style, and togetherness. It will also forever live in our 2026 Iowa Book of Weddings!
