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 | Amber + Wasi

Amber + Wasi had the most incredible wedding weekend! It all started on Friday with their colorful + full of energy Mehndi celebration. The patterned + colorful dancefloor in the center of the room was the focal point for the dances later in evening as Amber + Wasi sat on their throne, complete with a comfy swing + surrounded by four pillars of gorgeous flowers.

The next day, the reception was held in the same room as the night before but completely transformed thanks to the magical elves of GreenSinner who worked through the night to flip the colorful theme of Friday to a gorgeous + chic all white reception, complete with a mirrored dancefloor. Amber + Wasi’s wedding weekend was unforgettable. SHE was honored to help make their vision come to life + wish them years of happiness!

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Katie + Ryan

Katie + Ryan knew exactly what they wanted for their July 3rd Wedding Day + that was an intimate + tasteful dinner with music from a live band + dancing afterwards. However, in Katie’s mind, there was one more (maybe impossible) thing that would make their July 3rd wedding absolutely perfect…Fireworks. Little did she know, her future mother-in-law + the SHE team were hard at work organizing the most stunning Fireworks display to surprise Katie + Ryan on their big day.

The day was perfect with a beautiful ceremony on the Oakmont Country Club green, followed by cocktail hour on the patio + then an absolutely delicious 4 course meal served by the exquisite Oakmont chef + staff. When it was time for the big surprise Katie + Ryan had absolutely no idea + it made the moment that much more special as they gathered on the patio to watch the Fireworks with all of their friends + family gathered around them. SHE loved working with Katie + Ryan + wish them many more fabulous memories!

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.
