Elite Tarot 

5.0

  • Fortune teller/tarot
  • Serves Ames, IA

Named one of the nation’s top psychics, Eve of Elite Tarot entertains your guests with unique, fun, and above all, professional and positive tarot card readings. Eve's readings are positive, optimistic, and empowering. Rather than fortune telling, readings focus on using energy effectively for optimal success and happiness.

Eve is fantastic to work with—professional, organized, and an excellent communicator. Her experience showed in both the detailed planning and the way she engaged with our guests. She was warm and welcoming to all, treating each reading with care and attention from start to finish. I’m always happy to recommend her and keep an eye out for other opportunities to do so.

Unity in Glass 

5.0

  • Gifts and favors
  • Starts at $164
  • Serves Ames, IA

Unity in Glass is the original sand ceremony alternative. We took the Unity concept and Elevated it to a whole new level. We make the Glass, but you and your story are what makes our work truly special! You pick the colors that best speak to you, we ship them to you to combine at your ceremony. You mail them back, and we make you something precious to have and to hold, forever!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience using Unity in Glass for our unity ceremony! Since we were planning a destination wedding, we wanted something beautiful, symbolic, and easy to travel with—and this was exactly that. Instead of dealing with sand or candles that can be messy or hard to transport, Unity in Glass offered a meaningful and elegant alternative that truly captured the spirit of our day. Our guests were captivated by the idea, and we loved the thought of turning this moment into a lasting piece of art for our home. The process was seamless from start to finish. Everything arrived on time, well-packaged, and the instructions were incredibly easy to follow. Knowing we’d get a custom-blown glass sculpture made from the very crystals we poured during the ceremony made it feel so special and unique to us. If you're planning a destination wedding—or just want a fresh take on the unity ceremony—this is hands-down one of the best choices you can make. Highly recommend!

Hey there! My name is Tara, and I'm the creator of Flowers Of The Press. I ran around forests and gardens with my mother, looking for flowers to press between books. Now I'm living my childhood dream of being a florist—a pressed flower florist, that is! My first pressed bouquet was a wedding gift to my sister in 2020. Five years later, I'm surrounded by the most lovely team of close friends, working to preserve memories for clients nationwide. Our designs showcase the airy, wild, and beautiful flowers Mother Nature has given us! We believe that flowers can hold onto memories, so we're here to help you hold onto your flowers forever.

I had a custom set of gold earrings made with my favorite flower, and a charm to match. I wear them often, and always get compliments on them! They are good quality, and are a fun way to carry my favorite flower with me always. Great service and communication throughout the process. I recommend them to all my friends!

From the moment we first connected, their communication was constant and super informative, and they were incredibly patient as we worked together to bring our vision to life. The products they created for us were truly special - they made a custom perfume that captured the essence of our favorite movie! We wanted something really smokey and rose like and couldn't find anything in the store that was just right. Our planner found pine 617 and the perfumer helped us realize what we liked and didnt like in perfume. I have eczema and rarely wear perfume unless its on my clothes, but I rented my wedding dress. The lady at pine said they could make us a lotion! The body lotion has allowed me to carry the scent of our wedding day with me everywhere I go. The rosy floral notes are simply divine, and I love how it blends seamlessly with any other fragrances I wear. They truly went above and beyond to make our day feel fun and unique, and we are so grateful for their incredible work. We give them our highest recommendation!
