Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Olivia + Dennis's Surprise Engagement

SHE loves when our clients become family…literally! When Dennis’s sister’s Helen + Annie let us know that a proposal was going to take place between their older brother Dennis + Olivia, who is the sister of one of our other former clients, Tori, SHE was so excited for both of our former clients families! Then SHE got to work + planned a picture perfect beach proposal in three weeks!

Dennis proposed in Florida in front of his grandparents building when both families were down there to ring in the New Year! Little did Olivia know, the New Year wasn’t the only thing she’d be “RING-ing” in! The proposal went perfectly with Olivia crying tears of joy as both families watched from afar. After the families congratulated the happy couple on the beach, they made their way to a restaurant where a special engagement dinner had also been planned. As soon as everyone walked in, they were greeted with a photo backdrop of balloons + a custom sign for Dennis + Olivia. Once inside the room, the tablespace was filled with gorgeous flowers + custom name plates for each guest. SHE was so honored to be part of this joyous moment between both of our former clients. We wish Dennis + Olivia all of the love + happiness in the world!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | LaLa + Prince's Engagement

Imagine a beautiful arrangement of flowers arriving to your business with a note from your beau that reads “be ready at 7:30pm, a car will pick you up!” The anticipation kills you throughout the day, you finally close shop, rush home, get pretty, + then your driver picks you up but you still have no idea where you’re going. Then you arrive at a chic hotel in the heart of the city, your car door opens + the bellman greets you by name, walks you through the lobby, presses the floor number + sends you up the elevator to which the door opens + a trail of flower petals awaits. You follow the petals down the hall which leads you to a roof top suite adorned with thousands of flowers in your favorite hue, a live band singing to you, + your beau on one knee!! A whole movie right?! LaLa’s Prince Charming wanted to pull out all of the stops with the dreamiest proposal EVER. With the help of greenSinner, they created the perfect statement backdrop for this proposal filled with premium flowers + pops of balloons. Purple everything for Prince’s new Feyoncé! This was pure romance. Congrats to Prince + LaLa! SHE can’t wait for your special day!
