Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Vintage Seating Arrangement

by Nicole
When it comes to outdoor ceremonies, there are endless amounts of options for seating choices. The most commonly picked are folding chairs but they are also not the most comfortable. If you are having a smaller ceremony with not many guests, I suggest setting up the seating arrangement similar to one below. These vintage sofas are way more fun than those overused plastic chairs and definitely more comfortable. Your guests will be thanking you! Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Archway of Flowers

By Marla

A great piece of decor for either an inside or outside wedding is a floral archway. The archway can be decorated for any time of the year with seasonal flowers. They can also be styled for the most formal wedding to the most rustic/boho themed wedding. This can make for a great DIY craft. So much creativity can be used on a project such as this. Some options would be draping fabrick or beading, adding feathers, hanging candles, attaching fruits and veggies such as apples or pumpkins, etc. It's all up to you! I believe that the more simple the archway is, the more chic it looks. A little goes a long way. Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Chignon Updo

By Marla

Chignon is always in style. No matter what style wedding gown or wedding theme you choose, this 'do is always a perfect match. It is an intricate ribboning arragement of the hair that is usually worn at the nape of the neck. Though it is usually worn in a loose looking updo, it is still a very polished look. Not every chignon is the same. The updo can be styled in many different shapes and sizes. The latest new trend is to incorporate braiding in the hair. Another trend is having the updo styled on the side of the head. For the perfect ending touch, add an embellished hair piece in the chignon. Be inspired.

Pittsburgh Wedding Planner | Cigar Table

By Marla

A cigar table is a great way for the gentlemen of the wedding to get together and socialize while enjoying a cigar. This is a great non traditional element of a wedding reception, but it will certainly make your guests feel pampered. It would also be great to make small cards that go with each different type of cigar explaining the flavor, and about the company that makes that brand. This will keep the gentlemen occupied during cocktail hour while sipping on some scotch. A very manly treat. Adding this element to your reception may not be the most inexpensive project but, guests will really think it's something special! Be inspired.
