On Sunday, June 8th, The Pittsburgh Bachelorette teamed up with City Girls Who Walk Pittsburgh to host our first-ever event, Bridal Gown Walk: Strut the Streets for a Cure—an unforgettable girls' day out that celebrated friendship, fashion, and female strength, all while raising over $3,000 for a fellow Pittsburgh wedding pro in need.
While the rain may have paused our actual “walk,” the after-party was always part of the plan—and what a party it was. Held at the scenic Coughlin’s Law on Mt. Washington, this event captured everything The Pittsburgh Bachelorette stands for: a brand that brings women together and helps create meaningful, fun, and unforgettable events in the 412.
What made the day truly unforgettable wasn’t just the balloons, the florals, or even the photo booths—it was the feeling. Despite the gray skies, the room radiated warmth, love, and solidarity. You could feel it in every hug, every laugh, every tear shed during the jewelry presentation. Friends, strangers, and small businesses came together not just for a party, but for purpose. It was girlhood at its realest: messy, joyful, deeply connected. The energy in the room reminded us that this is what The Pittsburgh Bachelorette is all about—showing up for each other, lifting one another, and celebrating the power of women coming together.
Our goal was clear—support Courtney Esseltine, a local mom and wedding professional from Sheraton Station Square, as she battles stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Every detail of the event was made possible by incredible Pittsburgh-based businesses, many of whom you can find listed in our TPB Vendor Directory, ready to help you create an epic party or experience for your own crew.
Here’s how the day came to life:
