Today’s wedding is a little off the beaten path of what I normally feature on SMP, with a jewel-toned color palette and a chic vintage style, but I thought it was so beautiful that I just had to share. Plus, the bride is just so ridiculously gorgeous, it’s hard not to fall in love with her!

Ashley and Matt were married this past November at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia. She wore a Marisa gown from...

I have to tell you … we do feature a lot of outdoor weddings on SMP and the Little Black Book Blog. But if you’re from Texas (as I am …) this may be the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen! Even if you’re not from Texas, but you love the great outdoors, you’re going to seriously love this wedding! The details that went into planning this entire day are extraordinary, and the sheer scope of the venue is unbelievable. It could be that I’m just a bit...

I get emails here and there from brides who are looking to design a super chic wedding with their ceremony in a traditional church but with there reception in kind of a fun/funky spot. Well, that is just what today’s bride did!

I know that in many parts of the country, it’s hard to find those great farms, the incredible seaside resorts, the modern lofts and the lakeside estates that we often feature on SMP. But, I will tell you this…EVERY town has hidden gems that are...

Let me tell you what I love about Jen Fariello, the photographer behind today’s great wedding. There is nothing fussy about her photographs. Each image is shot with a clarity that I crave…where you can see the absolute joy in a bride’s eye, the sweet details that make a wedding unique, the unabashed happiness in a mother’s face. She shoots each wedding as if it’s the first she’s seen and the result is usually magic.
