Kelly and Dan’s flower-laden outdoor wedding could easily be called a huge success! The newlyweds celebrated their big day with spectacular wedding band Dreamscape, who provided knock-out tunes for this couple’s entertaining reception.

We’d like to give a big “Thank You!” to Julie Buck for sharing her photographs of Kelly and Dan’s wedding with us.

The ceremony took place on the green lawns of the Green Gables Restaurant. Restaurant owner Teresa Marafino and staff member Sally Mosky assured that the bride and groom got everything they wanted on their big day! Though the towering trees and rich gardens were beautiful by themselves, the ceremony space was further enhanced by tall wooden planters brimming with country flowers and a small lace-covered altar. Guests enjoyed this intimate union on a lovely afternoon in early summer.

Following cocktail hour on the terrace and a pleasant stroll through the gardens, guests were ready to eat and dance for the rest of the evening. All of the action took place in the restaurant’s Tuscany room, a large venue with elegant wooden columns and rustic stone walls. The couple’s elegant flower and decor selections truly made the reception space come alive with an upscale country feel. The newlyweds even had a cake dedicated to the Pittsburgh Steelers – their favorite football team!
