Carrie and Ed at the Heinz History Center



Once again, we found ourselves back at the Heinz History Center if you follow our blog, you'd know that we were just there last weekend for the wedding of Meghan and Ben.

I don't mind though because The History Center is quickly becoming my favorite venue in Pittsburgh. Who would have thought that a "history center" would be such a cool modern and urban space? I also love working with Maura (the History Center coordinator) and Common Plea Catering http://commonplea-restaurant.com/

Carrie and Ed had a black, white and hot pink theme with a black and white damask accent. Again, if you have ever been in our studio, you'd know that I obviously LOVE this color palette (and the damask!). Add in a super sweet and creative bride who let me have artistic freedom and that equals my dream wedding. Carrie you are such a doll! Congrats to you both!

The entryway urn arrangements.






The tall centerpieces of hydrangea, snapdragons, lisianthus, salal, roses and alstromeria.


And the amazingly beautiful cake by Cakes By Tammy

Here are the damask menu card and favors. So perfectly coordinated!

Kristin and Brian at Longue Vue Country Club

Kristin and Chris were married this past weekend at one of my favorite venues, Longue Vue Country Club

For their wedding, we used a palette of coral, peach, green and ivory. The centerpieces were made in our classic pedestal dish in which we floated coral peonies and cymbidium orchids. They looked like a perfect little lily pad centerpiece.



This was the head table arrangement of hydrangeas, peonies, berries and lisianthus.

Congratulations to Kristin and Brian!

And bear with me as I'm trying to switch to taking photos with my iPhone for events as it's much easier. I'll get the hang of, I promise!

I'm Over It

I just discovered this fabulous website: I'm Over It


This is the new Bag Borrow or Steal for designer wedding and party jewelry. Check out these absolutely gorgeous pieces that you can rent for 7 days, 14 days or one month. The best part is that the rental is extremely reasonable. Most of the sets that I found rented for around $40!
