Lust for Life Event Planning + Wedding Design 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Hastings, IA

From my first mockup wedding timeline to hands on floral arrangements, I knew I belonged in the Events Industry. Every part of the process is special to me. From hearing your story, to showcasing the uniqueness of your relationship through personalized details. Fave moment is you relaxed, letting loose, and happily celebrating as you deserve to. Visualize being able to soak it all in, and then reach out when you’re ready to make it happen. I will always say yes to a meeting that involves iced coffee. My free time: cat snuggles, family dinners, friend outings, quiet nights in with my fiancé.

“We hired Lust For Life to help plan our wedding, and it was the best decision we made throughout the planning process. Alison is super organized and detail-oriented, and she made sure every single piece was handled properly. She designed an absolutely beautiful wedding based on our input, taking care to ensure we were involved and happy with every decision. On top of this, she was very responsive and had good communication throughout the process; we met with her many times, and we left every single meeting feeling better about our progress. On the day of the wedding, she ensured everything ran super smoothly and handled coordination with all of the vendors, leaving us stress-free. Our wedding simply would not have been nearly as amazing without her help.”

Something Borrowed Blooms is the premier rent-and-return floral and décor company in the U.S., offering beautifully curated premium silk floral collections. Couples who choose to rent typically save up to 70% compared to the cost of traditional fresh flowers. Our collections include everything you need for your wedding day, from bridal and bridesmaid bouquets to boutonnieres, garlands, centerpieces, aisle markers, cake flowers, swags, flower combs and crowns, wedding décor, and more. Each design is thoughtfully curated to create a cohesive, elevated look from ceremony to reception.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We rented flowers through Something Borrowed Blooms and went with the Jane collection. Flowers were lower on our tier of priorities, so this worked well for us. It was easy to book, rent, and send them back. The one downside was that they changed what the collection looked like between when I booked the flowers and when I received them, and there was no option to go back to the original. They changed the bridesmaids’ flowers to be more floral, when I chose the Jane collection due to the greenery. As flowers weren’t specifically important to me, this wasn’t that big of a deal, but it didn’t feel great to not be able to get what we originally wanted and paid for. After reaching out to them about this issue, we did get a 50% discount on the bridesmaid flowers.”

“The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

“Flower Moxie - Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers was an amazing vendor for our wedding. From start to finish, their communication was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. When I ordered my DIY flower kit from them, the quality of the blooms was luxurious, with high-end flowers like anemones, yet the overall cost was very budget-friendly. Their detailed tutorials and bouquet recipes made it easy for me and my bridesmaids to create the most gorgeous bouquets together. I'm so grateful to Flower Moxie for helping me achieve my dream wedding flowers on a reasonable budget.”

The DJ Ness took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and specific needs for the wedding. His expertise shone through as he provided insightful suggestions and curated a playlist that perfectly matched the ambiance we wanted to create. Every detail, from the song selection to the timing of the announcements, was meticulously planned. On the day of the wedding, DJ Ness's performance exceeded all expectations. His engaging presence and ability to read the crowd kept the energy high throughout the ceremony and reception. Guests were consistently on their feet, dancing and enjoying themselves, which is a testament to his talent for keeping the party lively and entertaining. His seamless transitions between songs and genres ensured that there was never a dull moment on the dance floor. The wedding was truly spectacular, and much of its success can be attributed to the DJ's genius and expertise. He not only played great music but also created an unforgettable experience that we and our guests will cherish forever.

With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

“We truly cannot say enough good things about Haverlee. From the very beginning, she was so friendly and incredibly easy to work with, which made the entire day feel effortless. Of course, her photos are stunning, but what stood out most was how naturally she captured everything. Nothing ever felt too posed or forced. Every photo feels genuine and true to who we are. I mean this is the absolute best way possible, but there were so many moments where we honestly forgot she was even there, especially during our bride and groom portraits. She never felt in-your-face, but successfully captured every detail and emotion so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, blends seamlessly into your day, and delivers breathtaking, authentic photos, Haverlee is truly the best.”

The Faux Bouquets 
Rating: 5.0 (44 reviews)

  • Serves Hastings, IA

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

“The Faux Bouquets were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was fast and clear throughout the entire process, making it easy for us to coordinate the floral designs we wanted. The quality of their work was beautiful, perfectly matching the vision we had for our special day. Their gorgeous designs came together flawlessly, and they were incredibly easy to work with to assemble the bouquets exactly as we wanted. We couldn't have been happier with The Faux Bouquets and highly recommend them!!”

“Jen did a fantastic job with all my florals for my wedding!! She did all our bouquets and boutonnieres for the day, along with mini vases for our centerpieces! She was a dream to work with and bought my Pinterest board dreams to life. The quality of the flowers are amazing and I can’t wait to have them for the rest of my life!! Thank you, Jen!!”
