Recently a few friends of IheartPGH have decided to tie the knot and have been asking me questions left and right about planning a wedding in Pittsburgh.  If you are engaged or involved in wedding planning – then Handmade in Marriage is the craft show for you.

Handmade in Marriage is a one day wedding show to show of the best of independent wedding vendors in Pittsburgh.  Everything from caters, photographers, gift ideas and more.

I wanted to take a second to point out two of the vendors who will be at Hand(made) in marriage – both of these have run successful Kickstarter projects to raise money to get things started here in Pittsburgh.  How cool that both of these businesses started with community support.

Here is a sneak peak of some of the items you might find at Hand(made) in Marriage from the vendors who also have shops on Etsy.
