A Sunset in the Vineyard

Emily and Lincoln’s fall wedding felt like a sunset brought to life. Set against the rolling vineyard at Walker Homestead in Iowa City, the day was filled with warm shades of terracotta, burnt orange, soft pink, and ivory. Their ceremony took place in front of the vineyard beneath a grand, abundant floral arch. The newly opened Walker Homestead tasting room gave the guys a special place to get ready, enjoy wine, and spend time together before the celebration. Guests were invited to explore the beautiful estate during cocktail hour, taking in everything from the vineyard views to the farm animals that made the property feel so wonderfully Iowa.

The sunset-inspired design carried into the reception with terracotta vases, seasonal florals, textured runners, and Walker Homestead’s vintage plates at every place setting. Each guest also received a thoughtful favor of homemade honey from the couple. Dinner was served family-style, featuring Walker Homestead’s homemade pizza at every table. As the evening settled in, Diamond Empire Band brought the celebration outdoors beneath the vineyard's string lights and open sky, ending the night with live music, dancing, and a sparkler send-off.
