Laura + Ryan’s wedding weekend started off with not only an epic rehearsal dinner on Mount Washington, but also an ultra-fabulous welcome party hosted at the Carnegie History Center. As guests entered the welcome party, they were greeted with not one but two epic balloon installations. The first was when guests walked under the welcome sign + the second encompassed the grand piano + trailed all the way up the walkway to the second floor. The rest of the night guests enjoyed mini custom Casa Migos margaritas, champagne from the SHEcart + delicious food from Common Plea Catering. It was the perfect start to a beautiful wedding weekend for Laura + Ryan. Check back next week for a look into their gorgeous wedding at Phipps!
