Katherine Shaw, the principal of Trends to Traditions, is one of the most creative wedding planners in the city and she really outdid herself at this event.

Barb and I had a great time with everyone – Laura and Justin’s bridal party, friends and family. We always enjoy playing with the bridal party in an off-beat location, like an old railroad bridge in the Strip District.

Laura looked amazing in her Maggie Sottero gown – it was just perfect for her. Jean Marc Chattelier provided the awesome cake (we’re just a little too close to his French Bakery in Millvale – if you have a chance, it’s a must visit!). All florals were designed by Dinoti’s of Pittsburgh. DJ Spider Man, kept the crowd hopping all night.

Shalini has since become an email pen pal of mine and I hear from her occasionally, most recently to show me photos from her friend’s wedding in Chicago.

Shalini and Jim’s bridal party were awesome – from steaming their dresses, helping Shalini dress, carrying her train and bags; the bridesmaids were the most helpful of friends and the guys were easy-going and laid back.

Even Paige and Nicholas, the ring bearer and flower girl, did a great job! We were able to get some great photos of everyone because the day was so relaxed. Shalini & Jim were joyful and calm.

The Heinz Chapel ceremony was beautiful and stirring with the addition of the Children’s Festival Chorus. The Westin staff did a wonderful job of keeping everyone fed and happy at the reception. Shalini looked so beautiful in her a-line strapless dress and her bridesmaids wore tea length, pale gold, halter style dresses with matching pashmina shawls – very cute! (And yes, they really CAN wear those dresses again!).

The beautiful bouquets were created by Renee’s Florist in West Mifflin; the centerpieces were simple and elegant.

You wouldn’t get the full feeling of the day, if we didn’t mention two honored guests, Tuttle and Pippen, Shalini & Jim’s Golden Retrievers!
