we are doing a little sprucing up in our studio space - but we are still here to help you!  you can find us in the coralville strip zephyr printing & design, right across from mondo's.  stay tuned for pictures and the big reveal!

{today we love...} marriage equality

 

 

if you're an avid reader of this blog (and by avid, i mean you check back once every six months, because that's about as often as we post) you should already know that i am a great fan of wedding videos.  i could spend (okay, i have spent) an afternoon watching beautiful videos.  i even cry!  there is something about being able to see the love in the room from frame to frame that makes watching them so enjoyable - and i had the same feelings about this one.

we are lucky to live in iowa, a state where everyone can marry whomever they like.  we celebrated with the rest of the country when new york gave it's communities the same rights that we already had.  but, the fight isn't over (yet).  i've had the pleasure to work with many couples that come to iowa just because this is where they can get married - that they can't in their home states.  i've attended a few of these weddings myself and the love that the two people share is no different than between a man and a woman - and that, is a beautiful thing.

zephyr weddings is excited to work with any and all couples getting married in iowa (or any other state!) because no matter who the people are getting married - the love that is shared is beautiful.

grady james clark

hello zephyr weddings fans!  many of you know that our lovely sarah was expecting a little one soon, and we are excited to let you know that grady james is finally here!

        

grady is a healthy baby boy!  he weighed 6 lb 12 oz and was 20 inches long, much to the suprise of his parents! we are so thrilled for sarah and curtis, and of course in love with grady.  we can't wait to spoil him!

 

we're a little behind on this 'blogging' thing...

we are working on a new feature for the blog - but we need your help to do it.  we would love to feature some of the designs from past years on our blog, talking more about our process and working one on one with couples to create designs unique to them.  if you would be willing to help us out with this project, please contact monica (monica at zephyrweddings dot com) and she will provide you with more information about what we need.

the holiday season is upon us!  what do you love most about this season?  personally, i'm a sucker for starbucks' red cups and anything with peppermint flavor.  i can't wait for peppermint ice cream to hit the shelves!  of course, with the holidays also comes one of my favorite things - holiday cards.  whether it is a photo card with a recent family picture, or a beautiful holiday image like a tree or wreath - zephyr weddings is here to help.  we are proud to be an envelopments dealer and designer and can't wait to show off some of their beautiful stocks with your beautiful faces!

what are you doing on friday night and sunday?

if you're like us, you're watching tv.  we love watching all the wedding shows - say yes to the dress, four weddings, platinum weddings, my fair wedding with david tutera, and many, many more.  because our team eat, sleeps and breathes weddings, its no surprise that watching these shows keeps us informed on the biggest trends in colors, fashion and themes.  any bride can watch these shows and pull ideas for their own wedding.

of course, some shows take it a little too far.  shows like shedding for the wedding and bridalplasty make the day more about what you look like and less about what the day truly is - a celebration of the love between two people and sharing it with their closest friends and family.  although entertaining, my big jersey wedding (at least i think that's what it was called) and bridezillas can give the wedding industry and brides all over a bad name.

here are a few links to our favorite shows websites for you to look at enjoy - you never know when inspiration for your big day may strike!
