Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Color Me Bridal

By Marla
If you really want to be a bold bride, this is the dress for you! Lazaro bridal gown collections now have colors through the gowns. This would be great to mix in with you're color palette with blush pinks, soft yellow, and powder blues. The cut and style of the gowns are rather elegant. So, you'll still have that traditional bridal gown look with a little chic twist. Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Flower Girl Chic

By Marla
Being a flower girl in a wedding is like the ultimate day for the little girl to play dress up! The young one is so excited to put their dress on and lead their bride down the flowered aisle. So, give her a dress that she will not forget! The traditional flower girl dresses are beautiful. However, a feathered skirt dress or lace will make her feel like a princess, and look adorable. If you have a more vintage or modern wedding dress and theme, implement that in the flower girl dress. This is a special day for them too! Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Who Could Forget The Cameo?

By Marla
If you're looking for a more classical, 18th century "look" for your wedding then this is a great theme to use. By adding details of cameo to your decor, it will surely stand out from the crowd. The color scheme may also be unique with different filigree patterns, black, with pops of colors using light blues, bright pinks, and yellows to break up the color palette and allow for the cameo decals to stand out. The cameo accessory is a timeless piece that will surely bring an old world charm to your wedding, which is very romantic. Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Popcorn Station

By Marla
This is a great idea for a wedding. A popcorn station! Placing all the popcorn in wicker baskets and wooden barrels adds a rustic chic look! However, the popcorn could go into more formal clear vases, or different types of flower pots for an outside wedding. Guests can add variety to your popcorn flavors using different seasonings and toppings such as butter, candy, cheese, chocolate, honey, and nuts.  Also, you can put your own touch to this idea by having customized paper bags with your initial monogram on the face of it. This is a great snack that is budget friendly, and  it is fun element to add to your wedding for guests of all ages to enjoy! Be inspired.

By Shayla

Ok, ok, I'll be the first to admit we've been slacking on our blogging in the New Year. Our apologies! We have so many great things going at SHE and gearing up for another big 2013. To make it up to you, we're sharing two very delicious 2012 weddings. Purple was the "it" color in 2012. And we just love to do that color justice! Enjoy!

Special thanks to all of the vendors that worked so hard to make this day perfect for Kristen and Brandon!
