Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Ashlee + Toner

Our fierce Beyonce-loving bride, Ashlee married the Jay to her Bey, Andy aka Toner! Their love was certainly on top and they shared a stunning day for family + friends to remember forever! As the daughter of the premiere wedding dress shop in Pittsburgh, Bridal Beginning, Ashlee served looks like no other!! So of course slaying details was a must! SHE completely transformed the ballroom at Valley Brook Country Club with their Tuscan garden wedding. Guests entered this magical celebration through a hand draped white tunnel adorned with greenery, lighting, and romantic statues. The foyer entrance certainly gave guests something to talk about as they found their seat on the ornate mirrors on the floral boxwood walls while white-gloved hands passed through the same wall to give them a pretty signature cocktail. It was too good to be true!

The build up and drama continued as you entered the ballroom boasting villa vibes and modern romance with an abundance of greenery + all white florals. The custom faux wood pergola anchored the room with thousands of roses over the dance floor; it was absolutely breathtaking. Acrylic tables tops were styled with their own floating green oasis while others had acrylic details paired with crisp white linens or a beautiful floral sequin overlay, all working together and complimenting perfectly with each centerpiece design! The garden glam fun continued on the patio with the custom swing that was the perfect social media moment and kissing spot! SHE couldn’t be happier with this spectacular production and we so humbled to share another dream wedding with this family who are not just clients but our dear friends…Ti Amo Toners!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Sarah + Wouter

Sarah + Wouter’s love story is a special one that centered around family + tradition. They met as collegiate tennis coaches + formed a fast friendship that quickly turned to love. Their cocktail hour + reception combined the family + tradition aspects, as it was held on Sarah’s family’s gorgeous estate. Years ago, the Short family built the most amazing barn on their property for their kids to get married in + to date, Sarah was the second out of four children to get married at the barn.

When guests arrived to the property, they grabbed their hanging escort card + made their way to the cocktail hour where Sarah + Wouter arrived in the coolest vintage red Mustang. After cocktail hour, guests traveled a few short feet to the Short family’s barn that was decorated with gorgeous greenery + flowers created by the florist, GreenSinner + immediately had a dance set to get the night started. It was a perfect night full of memories that Sarah + Wouter will never forget!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Sara + Sam

Sara + Sam’s stunning wedding was extra special for a couple reasons. The first being their ceremony + reception took place on Sam’s family estate, (which is also a goat cheese farm titled Goat Rodeo Farm + Dairy, see pictures below for epic goat photobombs) + the second, Sara has a personal friendship with our very own {SHE} member, Meredith, who was one of Sara’s bridesmaids. {SHE} was extremely honored to create the most picture perfect day for Sara + Sam.

Their ceremony took place in front of a larger than life tree at the edge of the property, + from there guests moved to the outdoor patio for cocktail hour. Underneath the reception tent, a mix of farm tables, rounds + clear acrylic chairs created the perfect seating for an outdoor reception. The hints of dusty blue + gold brought color to the greenery + white florals lining the tables. It was a gorgeous day full of sentimental touches + loads of fun where the dancing didn’t stop until the wee hours of the morning! {SHE} loved creating this wedding + wish Sara + Sam years of love + bliss!
