It’s not often we hear of couples getting engaged twice, but that’s what makes Hannah and Sean’s story so unique. Initially, the two were engaged and planning a 2022 wedding when fate intervened, and they ended up having to postpone. Wanting to surprise Hannah after their halted plans, Sean took her to Conestoga House and Gardens during Christmas and re-proposed, which allowed the couple to have a fresh start as they planned their now 2023 nuptials.

Florals played a key role in Hannah and Sean’s wedding design. A variety of flowers from local farmers were sourced to create a garden party look that complemented the venue’s aesthetic. The color palette included a mix of pastel shades with hints of magenta to reflect the 2023 Pantone color of the year. Hannah’s bouquet even featured an exotic relative of the daisy, which has a single fan-shaped petal when it blooms.

Wanting to change up her look throughout the day, Hannah picked two different gowns to wear. The first was an elegant textured gown with whimsical sleeves and a soft bow by Sachin and Babi. Partly through their portraits, she swapped gowns and changed into a reception dress by Willow by Watters to ensure that each gown was equally photographed. Hannah paired both dresses with pearl drop earrings and a necklace from Anthropologie.

One of our favorite things about our wedding day was spending time with all of our friends and family in the same place! It was so hot outside that we were worried people wouldn’t dance, but the dance floor was packed all night! We are so thankful that we could celebrate with everyone we loved.”

In honor of their Pittsburgh family members and their roots, Hannah and Sean displayed a cookie table, which is a popular wedding tradition in Pittsburgh. They also tied in some local slang like “yinz” (it means “you all”) for fun, and it was a hit among guests who were invited to fill a take home box of the sweet treats. 

With a day filled with family traditions and a dreamy color palette that seamlessly blended into the venue’s setting, Hannah and Sean’s celebration proves that things are worth the wait, and a 2023 wedding was meant to be for this couple.

Our Advice: One piece of advice we would share with currently engaged couples who are planning a wedding would be to do what feels right for you and your spouse, even if it goes against traditions. For example, we opted to have a high tea for our rehearsal dinner at Front Porch Tea Room and Gathering Place rather than a traditional dinner. This is a date spot that we frequently go to, so this felt right for us, and everyone raved about it afterwards. We also opted for both of us to walk down the aisle accompanied by both of our parents. Family means a lot to us, and it felt right for both our mothers and fathers to be honored on our special day. Do what feels right for you. It doesn’t matter if it isn’t traditional.
