The Royal Treatment



The Royal Treatment

I just loved everything about this wedding! The bride and groom are a great couple who had a beautiful vision for their wedding day that included using shades of blue and purple fit for a king a queen.
Large arrangements of purple larkspur, hydrangeas, stock, calla lilies and dendrobium orchids stood tall in the front of the church, making a great backdrop for the ceremony and for formal photos. The bride and her matron of honor carried matching bouquets of the same flowers, while the little flower girl carried a pomander of purple daisies.




Their reception took place at one of my favorite Pittsburgh venues, the Edgewood Country Club. Their tables were covered with exquisite linens from Connie Duglin Linens and topped with one of two centerpieces. Half of the tables featured a large cylinder glass vase filled with blue dendrobium orchids submerged in water and tall sprays of willow branches, purple hydrangeas and more orchids. The other tables had a coordinating look of shorter cylinder vases filled with blue dendrobium orchids submerged in water and topped with a floating candle.

While the large centerpieces definitely made an impact, the smaller details really finished off the super swanky look. The room was surrounded in candles and purple up lighting. All of the tables had hand made table numbers adorned with purple crystals. The cake, from Signature Desserts, was topped with orchids as were the cocktail tables. And the sweetheart table had flowers to match as the new couple enjoyed their first meal together before hitting the monogrammed dance floor.
