Rebel Snow Day: Winter Wedding Inspiration
March 22, 2016
Photography by Rachel Rowland
Our design division, Garnish Event Design decided to take a snow day… with some seriously chic and rocking results. Setting the stage on a fresh blanket of powder, event stylists and floral artists went wild in the wilderness with fresh blooms, luxe accents, and an unexpected palatte of inspired deep purples and dusty greys.

Despite not having a park permit, the $100 fine was well worth the breathtaking photos shot by Rachel Rowland Photography. Plus, aren’t all snow days suppose to be a little naughty?
The Bride

The Garnish Event Design snow day bride, Molly Lipovsky, was a vision in white… and hauntingly beautiful in grey. The white gown was provided by Pittsburgh boutique Glitter & Grit, located in the Lawrenceville.

The grey gown was specially made by the Garnish Event Design staff and Joyce Aiello and was accented by an ethereal crystal belt from Clarissa Boutique and an unexpected dark faux fur caplet to complete the look. To top it all off her hair and make-up were provided by Ashley Sciulli and focused on simple hair, creamy skin, and dramatic, defined eyes.
