Pittsburgh Botanic Gardens, while a perfect wedding background in any season, is truly at its glory in the summer with its plants full of color and joy. It has indoor and outdoor spaces that offer a variety of backdrops for any style wedding, and the getting ready room is full of gorgeous vintage glam.

The details on the bride’s dress (Nima by Theia) from Blanc de Blanc wedding salon are a stunning beaded top and a gorgeous tulle skirt with a train. The gorgeous veil and beaded hair piece accent it perfectly.
