ABOUT FOREVER IN LOVE
Your Wedding. Your Vision. Your People.
Forever in Love Bridal Show is about more than putting wedding vendors in a room.
It's about creating a place where engaged couples can meet the people behind the businesses, ask questions, discover ideas they hadn't considered, and actually enjoy the process of planning their wedding.
No pressure. No overwhelming sales pitches.
Just inspiration, conversation, great local businesses — and a whole lot of wedding excitement. 🤍
OUR STORY
Forever in Love Bridal Show was originally founded in 2015 with a passion for bringing couples and local wedding professionals together.
Years later, Forever in Love returned with a renewed vision for what a modern bridal show could be.
We wanted something that felt personal, welcoming and fun.
A show where couples could bring their fiancé, wedding party, mom, sister or best friend and make an afternoon out of planning their wedding.
A place where vendors weren't simply booths in a room, but local professionals couples could actually connect with.
And an event where small businesses and established wedding professionals alike had an opportunity to introduce themselves, showcase what they do and build genuine relationships.
That vision became the new Forever in Love.
And it's continuing to grow. ✨
WHAT MAKES FOREVER IN LOVE DIFFERENT?
🤍 We're intentionally personal.
We believe choosing your wedding professionals is about more than comparing prices.
You're choosing people who will be part of some of the most important moments of your wedding day.
That's why our shows are designed to encourage real conversations and real connections.
💍 We celebrate local businesses.
Central Iowa has an incredible wedding community.
Our shows bring together photographers, DJs, venues, planners, florists, beauty professionals, caterers, bakers, decorators and many other businesses that can become part of a couple's wedding — and their life afterward.
🎉 We want wedding planning to be FUN.
There will be plenty of spreadsheets later. 😂
At Forever in Love, we want you to walk through the doors, grab your people, meet some amazing businesses, enter giveaways, collect some goodies and enjoy being engaged.
This season goes incredibly fast.
You deserve to have fun with it.
✨ We're about more than one day.
Marriage is about the wedding — but it's also about everything that comes after it.
That's why you'll sometimes find businesses at Forever in Love that aren't traditionally considered “wedding vendors.”
Real estate. Financial services. Wellness. Home services. Travel. Gifts.
Because you're not only planning a wedding.
You're building a life together.
MEET THE OWNER
Hi, I'm Teresa! 👋
I'm the owner of Forever in Love Bridal Show, and there's a good chance you'll actually see me running around at one of our events. 😂
Forever in Love combines a lot of things I genuinely love — events, people, small businesses, creativity and bringing people together.
I'm also a REALTOR® and owner of Rowe Realty Results Powered by RE/MAX Precision, so apparently I've made a career out of being involved in people's really big life moments. 💍🏡
One of my favorite parts of Forever in Love is watching connections happen.
Sometimes it's a bride finding the photographer whose work immediately feels like her.
Sometimes it's a couple discovering a venue they didn't know existed.
Sometimes it's two vendors meeting at our show and eventually working together.
Those moments are why I keep doing this.
I don't want Forever in Love to become the biggest bridal show simply for the sake of being the biggest.
I want it to be a bridal show people genuinely enjoy being part of.
For our couples.
For our vendors.
For our partners.
And for the incredible wedding community we have here in Iowa.
Thank you for being part of it. 🤍
