Lexie + Jordan’s wedding day was an intimate + chic soiree that not even a little unexpected rain could ruin. With less than an hour until ceremony, the skies opened + down came the rain. However, Lexie + Jordan’s love proved too much for mother nature as the skies miraculously cleared just in time for Jordan to wait for his bride in front of a stunning mirrored + greenery filled chuppah. After the ceremony, guests traveled to The Pittsburgh Field Club where all of Lexie + Jordan’s favorite “buds” found their place card from the custom floral seating display. The dinner ballroom was a twinkle light fairytale with gorgeous velvet linens + beautiful florals to compliment. The entire day was eloquent + stylish + SHE was so happy to play a part in Lexie + Jordan’s love story.

The first time Matt saw Nicole, it was at their place of work, PNC Bank, + after listening to Nicole give a presentation, Matt turned to his friend + said “I’m going to marry that girl”. It was a love story that was destined to happen + seeing Nicole + Matt on their wedding day, it was evident that they were made for each other.

They had an intimate ceremony in the Founders room at the Duquesne Club + from there guests moved to the Patio room for cocktail hour where custom velvet floral linens from Mosaic Inc. covered the tables. After cocktail hour, everyone traveled upstairs to the ballroom where there was no shortage of romance + details. Gorgeous elevatored florals by Hens + Chicks lined the head table + numerous other tables while the mix of muted + neutral linens lined the tables. It was a beautiful evening where guests did not leave the dance floor all night thanks to the sounds of the Move Makers Band. Congratulations again to our beautiful couple, Nicole + Matt!
