It’s been a gloomy & unusually cold few days here in Iowa so it’s hard to remember how hot it actually was at Sara & Corey’s summer wedding last year, but I do recall feeling the need to shower every few minutes. Despite the heat of the day, their ceremony was held on the Hotel Vetro rooftop patio and it was absolutely perfect. Right before the ceremony began, we got some delicious cloud coverage, which helped ease the heat and a slight breeze ruffled through the rows. As for photos, I found a spot on the University of Iowa campus that would provide shade during the high heat as well as a slight wind tunnel due to the positioning of the buildings. (I use that spot a lot in hot weather for that specific reason!) With that combination of shade and a breeze, we all made it; just a few drops of sweat!

Their wedding was gorgeous with the most lovely palette of navy, blush pink, and soft gray. Get inspired over at Blushing Bells today, where their wedding is being featured!
