Duquesne University Ballroom Pittsburgh Wedding ~ Kristina & Rhyan

Duquesne University Ballroom Pittsburgh Wedding: Newlyweds Kiss on City StepsKristina and Rhyan’s sophisticated late spring wedding was plucked straight out of the finest wedding magazine! From the bride’s luxurious a-line gown with lace straps to the ivory bouquet of roses and peonies, every little detail emanated a timeless sense of romance. Defined by an entire color palette of white complemented by feminine pink accents, this wedding was practically made to impress! Of course, there was more to this party than looks alone. The John Parker Band busted out their best music picks to keep the dance floor vibrant until the lights went down!
