White Barn Pittsburgh Wedding ~ Capri and Louis

Capri and Louis were wed on a gorgeous sunny day. There was not a cloud in the sky as the couple said their “I do’s” at their outdoor ceremony. The reception venue, the White Barn, was a true throwback to vintage decor with strings of pearls, lace, and breathtaking floral arrangements.

For live entertainment, the dancing-till-you-drop Pittsburgh wedding band, City Heat, performed for their family and friends as they danced non stop all evening long. The couple created the perfect playlist for the band to play, with fun, groovy tunes, getting guests up and on their feet, till their shoes came off!

Weddings are all about the details, and in this wedding, there were many to see. Simple and romantic, little touches are everywhere, starting with the bride. She wore slingback wedges and a form fitting gown. Her dress was covered in lace, and the back delicately woven with flowers and dotted with buttons.

Their ceremony took place outside on the grounds of the White Barn. A white elm altar stood just before a pond, decorated with flowers and white drapery. Jars of baby’s breath lined the make shift aisle.

The bride walked down the aisle on the arm of her father. We love the vintage feel of her bouquet, with soft pink and white flowers. Her florist, All About Reclaimed, did an amazing job.

The bride’s gown fit her like a glove. Her veil was the perfect length and her swarovski crystal belt provided just the right amount of sparkle.

Pink and gray were the main colors in this wedding. Half of the bridesmaids wore pink, while the others wore gray. Their gowns were long, light, and airy. Perfect for an evening of dancing! The groomsmen looked dashingly handsome in gray suits, white shirts, and gray bow ties. The bridal court must have been eager to get to the reception to relax and listen to some great music.

The bride and groom asked the band to play anything and everything FUN! They wanted everyone to dance as both their families enjoy good music and love having an excuse to party! City Heat was happy to comply and played a fantastic variety of current music, classic oldies, salsa, and cha cha. A very special song was played for the bride’s parents- their wedding song, “Always & Forever”.

Another highlight of the night was a soul train dance line led by the father of the bride! The women lined up on one side and the men on the other, and paired off to dance down the line. The band also played great line dancing music, such as the “Cupid Shuffle”, “Teach Me How To Dougie”, and “Cha Cha Slide”. The newlyweds and their guests had a smashing good time!
