Something Blue

Planning and designing weddings all over Iowa

Design direction. Honest opinions. Zero regret choices.

From full-scale planning to décor and day-of execution, we take care of the details and tell you the truth.

Reception tables set with candles and greenery by Something Blue.

We ensure your celebration feels intentional, elevated and completely you.

Every wedding is different, so after your consultation we build a package curated for you and what you are actually trying to do — rather than handing you a tier and asking you to squeeze into it.

And we start with money, on purpose. Step one below is not a formality.

Our décor and design strategy

How it works

  1. 01

    Inquiry

    You reach out. We call within 24 hours and confirm your investment range before we do anything else.

  2. 02

    Design consult

    We style our consult room to your Pinterest board before you arrive. You walk in and it already feels like your wedding.

  3. 03

    Custom quote

    You pick exactly what you love. We build your quote before you leave. If it feels right, you are on our calendar that same day.

  4. 04

    Your day

    We handle every candle, every runner, every detail. You show up and get married.
