Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Cara + Conor

Cara + Conor’s wedding last year was a stunner! As soon as guests moved from cocktail hour to the ballroom, they walked through a tunnel of flowing white drapery, decorated with gorgeous pedestals of floral arrangements. The Omni William Penn’s ballroom was transformed with beautiful white florals, larger than life candles + upside down roses stemming from oversized lamp shades. The tables were a mix of traditional rounds + rectangles but made more modern with white leather curved couches for seating sprinkled into the layout. The dancefloor was a custom mirrored floor where guests danced the night away. It was a night to remember! SHE loves this family so much + wishes them all of the love + joy that they bring to everyone around them.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Mackenzie + Michael

Mackenzie + Michael had the most gorgeous, intimate + Italy inspired wedding + reception this past fall at the iconic Pittsburgh Field Club. The couple became engaged in Tuscany + when their plans for an Italy wedding fell through, they decided to plan a small wedding in 3 months’ time! SHE was honored to help create this beautiful wedding. It was an unforgettable night, starting with a ceremony on the back patio followed by a chic dinner underneath thousands of twinkling string lights that truly created an atmosphere of dinner underneath the Tuscan stars. It was a magical evening + SHE was so happy to help Mackenzie + Michael’s dream of an Italy inspired wedding come true.

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!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Jaime & Aaron

Jaime + Aaron had waited three long years to finally be able to celebrate their marriage with family + friends but SHE made sure the celebration did not disappoint! The ceremony + reception were both held at the Museum Lab in Pittsburgh’s North Side which was the perfect space for an artistic + romantic cocktail style reception.

Once the ceremony + cocktail hour ended on the first floor, guests moved upstairs via the floral enhanced stairway to where the band welcomed everyone with a lively dance set before the three delicious dinner stations from Big Burrito were open. The attention to custom detail was apparent during the day + night, from custom monogrammed signature drinks, to the monogrammed band backdrop to the cappuccinos made to look like Jaime + Aaron’s adorable dog who had to miss the celebration. It was a gorgeous night to remember + SHE couldn’t be happier for Jaime + Aaron.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Dana + Harry

This week on the SHE blog we have Dana + Harry’s beautifully colorful + chic wedding! The day started with Dana + her girls getting ready with the fabulous Glam to-Go squad + Harry surprising his guys with matching fedora hats.

As guests walked into the Pittsburgh Opera House, they were immediately wowed by the stunning ceremony structure that was accentuated with colorful puffs of florals not only on the structure but hanging in the room. After the ceremony, guests moved to cocktail hour as the ceremony room was flipped to create a stunning reception dinner room. The hanging florals from the ceremony created great overheard table décor along with the bistro lights strung throughout the room.

The night ended with guests dancing all night long to the sounds of DJ Digital Dave. SHE loved being part of Dana + Harry’s magical day + wish them countless more days of love!
