Brynne and Cory’s Wedding at Walker Homestead in Iowa City, Iowa

Sophisticated Red Wedding at Walker Homestead in Iowa City, Iowa

From Cubicle Companions to Lifelong Partners

Brynne and Cory’s love story feels like it’s straight from a rom-com. They met as co-workers sharing a cubicle, where Cory developed a crush on Brynne. Over time, Brynne realized her feelings for Cory went beyond friendship, and their bond only deepened.

After ten amazing years together, they finally made it official with an engagement! Their wedding was the perfect celebration of a love story that began at work and blossomed into a lifetime of happiness. Surrounded by family, friends, and co-workers, Brynne and Cory’s “forever” had truly begun.

Elegant Fall Wedding

After a decade of attending weddings together, Brynne and Cory had a clear vision for their big day: a fall wedding with stunning colors, great food, unforgettable music, and no compromises on guest experience. But they also knew they needed expert guidance to bring all these ideas together. That’s where Emily McMahon, owner of Soirée Wedding Planning, came in. With Soirée’s Experience package, Brynne and Cory could rest easy, knowing that every detail would be expertly crafted.

For their design plan, they envisioned deep reds, maroons, and purples—a rich color palette that Emily’s team perfectly executed. The venue, chosen for ease of access, became the perfect fall haven, blending sophisticated black, white, and red accents inspired by the couple’s love of art. Brynne and Cory’s “must-haves”—an open bar, incredible food, lively music, and top-notch photography—ensured an event filled with energy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
