Color and Contrast: A Modern Wedding of Bold Beauty at the Fairmont Pittsburgh

There are weddings you plan, and then there are weddings you dream with your clients—this celebration at the Fairmont Hotel Pittsburgh was the latter. From our very first meeting, we knew this couple’s vision was something special: a striking contrast of modern sophistication and joyful vibrancy, perfectly reflected in every thoughtful detail of their day.

Our team had the honor of being involved in every stage of planning this wedding, from the initial vendor selection to the final flourish on the reception tables. It was a full-circle experience, and we poured our hearts into bringing their unique vision to life.

The Venue: A Perfect Canvas

The Fairmont Pittsburgh provided the ideal backdrop—elegant, modern, and infused with the kind of understated luxury that elevates every detail. Its clean architectural lines and panoramic city views gave us the perfect canvas to layer in bold design elements that wowed from the moment guests walked in.

Design Vision: Black, White & Blooms

The visual heart of the wedding was a bold juxtaposition: modern black-and-white sophistication balanced with vibrant, punchy florals. One of our favorite focal points? The stunning black-and-white checkered dance floor that became a show-stopping centerpiece, inviting guests to celebrate in style all night long.

The wedding party mirrored this contrast beautifully. The sleek black tuxedos and bridesmaid gowns provided a timeless, high-fashion aesthetic, which made the florals pop even more dramatically. From the bright, citrusy oranges and deep fuchsia pinks to unexpected pops of coral and electric blue, the floral palette brought energy and personality to every corner of the venue—from ceremony arch to reception tables.

Planning Every Detail

With full-service planning, our team curated every element. We paired the couple with vendors who understood their vision and could execute it flawlessly—from photographers who could capture the contrast of light and color, to a florist who fearlessly worked with bold hues and sculptural arrangements.

Every element was chosen with intention: a modern 360° seating chart display, metallic linens, lush floral centerpieces, vibrant candles, and just the right touch of glass detail to add elegance without overpowering the clean, contemporary vibe.

A Night to Remember

As the sun set and city lights began to sparkle outside the Fairmont’s windows, the space transformed into a glowing celebration of love, style, and joy. Guests danced under the glow of modern chandeliers and surrounded by the warmth of vibrant blooms, creating a night none of us will soon forget.

This wedding was more than an event—it was a true collaboration, a reflection of a couple’s personality and vision brought to life through creative partnership. We are so proud to have helped design and plan every moment of this unforgettable day.
