Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Molly + Dave

Molly + Dave’s Wedding was one of our last SHE Weddings at our now closed venue, Slate, + it was a dreamy fall vision. The amber, burnt orange, burgundy + touches of worn leather throughout the venue transformed the space. On the cocktail + dancing side of the studio, SHE enlisted the help of GreenSinner to hang mix matched Edison bulbs from a ceiling of fresh greenery + to highlight the custom wall-papered accent wall. The other side of the studio acted as the ceremony room + was later transformed into the reception room. Once it was time for dinner, guests moved back to the reception room where the lights were dimmed + showcased two long, romantic family style tables with open seating for everyone. After dinner, guests enjoyed the sounds of DJ Digital Dave + ate late night snacks from the Kimberly Ashlee Food Truck. It was a night to remember + SHE sends so much love + gratitude to Molly + Dave for letting us be a small part of their big day!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Casey + David

Casey + David’s love story is a sweet one…literally! It started many years ago when they would both watch their younger brothers play baseball under the coaching of David’s dad. Fast forward a couple years + Casey was going into her junior year of high school + had a job at Bruster’s Ice Cream. David had just graduated high school + would frequently stop at Bruster’s where he spent many nights eating Birthday Cake ice cream, each cone with a few extra scoops, scooped by Casey. Fast forward again to 2018, David had finished his first season with the San Diego Padres minor league team + reconnected with Casey + the rest is history.

SHE loved working with Casey + David, their love for each other + their overall fun-loving personalities are contagious! The day could not have been more beautiful. The reception was held at the Hotel Monaco which was the perfect backdrop for the classic + chic design of Casey + David’s wedding. DJ Digital Dave + Jason Kendall Productions kept the dance floor packed the entire night with their combined sounds. It was an elegant + timeless affair + SHE sends all the love in the world to Casey + David + their families.

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 | Hannah + Will

Today’s blog features Hannah + Will’s gorgeous fall wedding at Longvue Country Club. The ceremony was under the most magnificent chuppah that was then converted into the stage for the incredible band, Nightsong, to perform on the rest of the night. As guests enjoyed cocktail hour outside on the courtyard, our team along with our fabulous vendors flipped the ceremony room to create a magical reception room. The twinkling overhead lights, combined with the lush greenery + white florals created an unforgettable reception room. It was a night to remember + SHE couldn’t be happier for Hannah + Will.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Kaitie + Chris

Kaitie + Chris’s wedding was another standout celebration from last year! It was the third time that SHE has had the absolute honor of working with the Olivo family + planning one of their children’s dream weddings. This time, it was with their only son Chris + his beautiful bride to be Kaitie. Kaitie’s vision for her wedding was glamorous yet also chic. From the white-on-white linens + florals with teeny tiny pops of pale pink mixed in, the Westin Hotel’s ballroom was transformed into a magical oasis. SHE can’t talk about this day without mentioning the absolute gorgeous wedding dresses, a custom Inesdisanto + a stunning Berta dress, Kaitie wore, both from Chris’s family’s shop, Bridal Beginning. It was a fabulous night for a fabulous couple + SHE was honored to play a part. Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs!
