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 | Katie + Andrew

SHE loves a couple that isn’t afraid to bring black into their wedding design, especially when black is rarely ever styled at their wedding venue! When we learned one of Katie + Andrew ‘s favorite past times is a good happy hour, we knew we had to create a special bar moment like none other at the Omni William Penn Ballroom. The Shannons were on board to have the most fabulous + ultra-chic statement bar as the focal for their reception design! As guests entered the ballroom, grabbing their champagne from a custom wall, they were greeted by the bar beauty created with luxe black velvet + the most gorgeous cascading white roses falling 10ft from the balcony to the bar front. The posh micro details on the guest tables felt effortless and complimented the drama that anchored the room. The energy was grand and the tone was set for the rest of the night. Guests enjoyed the sounds of THE Elite Show Band + literally danced the night away. It was the best night for the best couple-forever raising our glass to Katie + Andrew!

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 | Hannah + Michael

Like many couples these past two years, Hannah + Michael had to reschedule their dream wedding, not once, but twice. However, SHE made sure that the wait was SO worth it! Their ceremony took place at Jay Verno Studios where guests were greeted with champagne from Pittsburgh’s newest bubbly vendor, The Cork + Bubbly Machine.

After the ceremony, the main studio was flipped into a gorgeous dinner reception where the head table literally took center stage. With the mastermind, GreenSinner, behind the design, SHE knew this head table would be one for the books! Breathtaking white florals were suspended from the ceiling + hung in two asymmetrical designs over the head table to create the main focal point, while the other tables were mixed with tall + short artistic floral designs. It was a night to remember + SHE was so happy Hannah + Michael were able to have their dream wedding day!
