Nice Day for a
WHIRL Wedding!
At least once a day, one of us at WHIRL Publishing is asked for advice about a wedding. From who is the best florist, bridal salon, and entertainer, to how to get a wedding featured in our WHIRL Weddings, we regularly field questions about planning and publicizing weddings.
People come to us for good reason: We work closely with photographers, planners, designers, and venue operators to find the hottest trends and fashions. We talk with brides and grooms, as well as mothers and fathers, about what is undoubtedly one of the most memorable events in their lives. In the process, we know the best of the best involved in weddings in the Pittsburgh region.
In this guide, you will find the resources you need to create your perfect wedding. We show you the latest styles in men’s and women’s bridal fashions, jewelry and hairstyles, as well as bouquets and cakes. We illustrate the venues and menus that will make your reception unique. And best of all, we give you the names and contact information for every vendor, retailer, and person involved in setting your wedding at the top of the list.
Like the first kiss of a married couple, we are extremely excited about this first issue of the WHIRL Wedding Guide. We want this to be the definitive resource for spectacular weddings in Western Pennsylvania. We hope you find ideas on putting together your special event, and that it will guide you to the local people who will make your wedding the beginning of a successful and happy marriage.
