I'm a fashion designer and SMP is one of the only sights I've found that has the right taste level in images and recommended vendors for the contemporary lady. I read it everyday!

I love how you highlight all kinds of weddings and ideas, from simple to over the top. Abby, you've made a broad-spectrum, inspiring site that always gets me excited about planning a fun and beautiful wedding without breaking the bank!!

My best friend is planning her wedding while teaching English in China. Unless I mail her Bridal magazines, she won't have them. Thus, SMP with its beautiful weddings and clever tips has become the source of much inspiration. Thanks!
I love Style Me Pretty! As soon as I got engaged, I found SMP online, and it really helped me organize my wedding ideas. The DIY ideas of all the readers is so impressive and inspiring! I'd love to have these save-the-dates from PaperZest - especially because I'll be using a local vendor.
As a woman working in a male-dominated industry, I don't have many people around to indulge my wedding-focused thoughts. Style Me Pretty keeps me company while I'm on boring teleconferences or waiting for my code to compile - it's informative and inspiring, and a bright spot in my otherwise gloomy day!
I love SMP for inspiring me, not only with great ideas for my wedding, but also for inspiring me to infuse my life with beauty throughout my day and my home to keep me smiling and energized.
I recently deleted about twenty-five other wedding blogs from my list of daily reads because I was reading too many wedding blogs!!! But I kept Style Me Pretty because I can see everything lovely and creative in ONE blog. Thank you for doing this for all the brides to be. It is really such a gift to all your readers!
Who doesn't love daily inspiration and ideas?!? I only wish I could throw SMP off the webpage and into the church--Ready made wedding! haha
I love SMP because even when I'm running dry on inspiration, SMP never is. Looking at the beautiful pictures and inspiration boards from this site gives me back my creativity.

SMP has confirmed my opinion that even the smallest details are important and worthy of careful consideration. I also love reading everyday about other people's ideas for their weddings and inspirational colours and details which I would never have thought of myself.
I don't think I would know 95% of what I know about planning a wedding and making the details special if it weren't for SMP. Long before I was even engaged I checked the site daily because as a graphic designer I have found so much inspiration that can be applied outside of weddings!
SMP is so inspirational and provides endless creative ideas to personalize weddings. I absolutely adore SMP.
