Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Crystal + Ben

SHE took their talents to New York to plan this stunner of a wedding for the glamorous Crystal + Ben! The ceremony took place on Sound River Studio’s pier in Long Island City, with the most beautiful backdrop of Manhattan. NYC Flower Project brought all of the gorgeousness to make this pier an absolute statement. After the ceremony, guests moved to inside the studio where the patina vibes were in full effect. The custom printed linens to match the details from the custom invitations were a beautiful contrast to the striking tall + low florals. It was a night to remember + a transformation of a space SHE will never forget!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Christie + Alex

Christie + Alex’s wedding was one of elegance + beauty. Their cocktail hour + reception was held at the Pennsylvanian, a location that SHE has worked numerous times, but this time we transformed the space into a unique + detail focused design. It started at cocktail hour with a custom display that housed the place cards + welcome beers + rose.

Once guests went inside to the reception, the bar became the focal point of the room with the 10ft draped floral pergola overtop of it. It was truly stunning + added height to the room along with the tall gorgeous floral designs from Hens + Chicks Floral Studio. The mix of chairs + chargers + napkins, specific to each set of tables added even more of the design details that SHE loves to incorporate into each event. It was the perfect night for a beautiful couple that SHE was so honored to work with!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | David + Ryan

When {SHE} met David + Ryan, we knew their sense of style, love for each other and love of Beyoncé (more on that later) were the perfect ingredients for their chic + modern wedding held at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. Before the ceremony started, David + Ryan's guests were treated to a Veuve Clicquot Brut champagne bar which tied into their initial wedding invitation design + each guest's favor, their own individual Veuve Clicquot Brut champagne bottle to take home! After the ceremony guests made their way into the reception space + were amazed by the stunning floral design + ivory + gold interactive sequin linens that were so unique -- guests could not stop playing with them all night! Just when the guests were getting settled for dinner David + Ryan had one last surprise up their sleeve! For their grand entrance into the reception as husband + husband Ryan rode in on an exact replica of the custom bicycle Beyoncé rode in her Blow music video! It was the most fabulous start to any reception {SHE} has ever seen!
