Stunning Wedding Venue in Iowa

She complemented it with a cathedral length veil that matched her train. Her bouquet was made with crisp white roses and greenery, for an oh-so-timeless wedding look. Meanwhile, TJ looked handsome in a sleek black suit. The two opted to have their first look during the ceremony, but shared a quiet moment beforehand.
