Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Tamara + James

Pittsburgh born + NYC living, Tamara served effortless chic for her wedding day. Tamara + James started their day with getting ready at the stylish Hotel Monaco before saying iDo and celebrating with their closest friends + family at the Garden Room at The National Aviary. With greenery + trees surrounding their space, we just loved their urban garden! The neutral + timeless palette of nude, white, and black set the backdrop to the clean aesthetic of the venue that boasts natural light and a perfect indoor/outdoor feel. Statement tables flanked the dancefloor and gave fabulous ‘Jeff Leatham’ floral vibes. Guests mixed and mingled in the garden before dining + dancing the night away. At the peak of the dancing the confetti cannon surprised everyone and was a whole moment. Such an epic happily- ever-after for the Hippolytes!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Stephanie + TJ

Stephanie + TJ’s wedding was such a special one for Team SHE! Aside from being the loveliest couple + family, SHE had been planning Stephanie + TJ’s wedding well before the 2020 reschedules started happening. Despite all the changes + challenges Stephanie + TJ had the best spirits throughout the entire planning process.

When their special day finally arrived, it was worth the wait! As soon as guests walked into the venue, they were greeted with a custom seating chart, made out of gold hexagons with florals intertwined between the hexagons. The theme continued with a custom hexagon dancefloor adorned with the couple’s monogram. It was a fabulous party + SHE was overjoyed that Stephanie + TJ finally got to celebrate!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Brittany + Karl

One thing SHE loves is our never-ending relationships with our clients + families! We’ve known Brittany personally + she even attended our first “SHE event”. A decade ago, SHE was established + so were the Lozanne’s. They did not have a wedding as they were both super focused on their career goals, wrapping up medical school + law school. Fast forward to Karl’s 40th celebration that we planned in Charlotte, NC + now to their 10 year vow renewal in Blythewood, SC for Dr. + Mrs. Karl Lozanne Esquire! We could not be more honored to create this moment + share in this special milestone with their children, family, + friends. They’ve both worked so hard + achieved so much + this evening they could kick back and be celebrated. 

Doko Manor was so charming + the perfect backdrop for our modern garden design. The color palette was everything! Not your typical fall colors yet very appropriate for the season. The ceremony was set with a picture perfect background + floral arch. From there, guests moved inside + stepped into a completely transformed ballroom! The mix of high + low florals were able to make a statement with satin + crème linens accentuating the design. It was a celebration to remember with the sounds of Mike Stone Entertainment keeping everyone on the dance floor all night. SHE was honored to apart of Dr. + Mrs. Karl Lozanne’s celebration!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Annemarie + Luke

The stylish blush + pale pink design with gold accents was exactly the elegant + classic look Annemarie + Luke envisioned for their wedding! This couple started their ceremony at the Chapel of the Holy Spirit at Duquesne University + from there, guests celebrated Annemarie + Luke’s union at The Priory. The Priory’s beautiful + historic setting was enhanced with a mix of high + low floral statement pieces + greenery. Every detail was perfect down to the calligraphy seating chart + table numbers. The pinks, gold, + metallic created a contemporary ambiance at this alluring venue. {SHE} loved creating this memory for Annemarie + Luke. We wish them endless love + happiness!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Brianne + Sean

On one of the most popular wedding dates of the year, 8.18.18, {SHE} had a wedding that was one for the books! Brianne + Sean were a couple who knew what they wanted their dream wedding to look like + the result could not have been more fabulous. Neutrals, nudes, mixed metallic, + a splash of black created the most romantic, modern + chic vibe at The Pennsylvanian. Every detail from the mirrored dancefloor to the acrylic metallic/copper table numbers were intentional. We love when our clients are involved in the planning of the day + even want to add their own touches, such as custom black slate Pittsburgh skyline coasters + a special cotton candy surprise for guests. When {SHE} designs your wedding, we create an experience an event for you + your guests to remember! We hope Brianne + Sean remember their wedding day for the rest of their lives + continue to smile + laugh together for the rest of time!
