October in Pittsburgh from Valerie Barnes Film on Vimeo

If you haven’t had a chance to check out our gallery, now is the time. Susanna and Carl’s gorgeous October wedding at St. Paul’s Cathedral with reception at the Omni William Penn Hotel was breathtaking!

Susanna and Carl walked down the aisle on a custom monogrammed runner by The Original Runner Company. You’ll see in later photos how we moved the monogram from ceremony, to cocktails, to dinner and even dessert!

The beautiful couple posed for Goldstein Photography in downtown Pittsburgh.

The vivid floral centerpieces by Hepatica popped against the subtle gold linens by Mosaic and chiavari chairs. The candles around the centerpieces added a romantic glow around each table.

The menu card matched the invitation perfectly and each course was paired with the perfect wine selected by the bride and groom.

To keep consistent with the monogramming throughout, we had pretty little wooden stirrers with a shiny gold monogram at the bars.

The bride and groom met at Boston College so we knew that this framed Boston College flag would make the perfect guest book and keepsake for the couple. Guests were able to leave their well wishes and signatures with silver and gold fabric pens.

During cocktail hour, cocktail napkins were placed on each bar and passed with hors d’ouevres. Each cocktail napkin had a fun fact about Susanna and Carl which helped to provide guests with some information about the couple that they may not have known!

Cider champagne was the signature drink passed during cocktail hour. It was seasonally appropriate, delicious and pretty! We mixed things up by having the waitstaff serve the drinks on gold monogrammed trays. 

The 6-tier wedding cake was created by Vanilla Pastry Studio. The opalescent sheen is something that the bride loved. The pastry chef used a special painting technique to get the desired look.

The Urban room is located next door to the ballroom which was used for cocktail hour. Then, we flipped the space for dessert. We brought in lots of furniture from The Prop Shop to create a luxe, cozy atmosphere.

The opulent William Penn ballroom was the perfect setting for a night of toasts, dinner and lots of dancing to a fabulous band. The monogrammed gobo on the dance floor was the perfect touch!

The getaway car was a 1960 Silver Cloud II Rolls Royce. We made it special by having their monogram added to the back window of the car. It made for a fun getaway! Then it was time for the bride and groom to go off on their honeymoon! Wishing the couple a very happily ever after!
