Doesn't it seem like we feature a lot of weddings from California and New York? Well, not today my friends! Today's wedding, in Lexington, Kentucky is all about traditional charm...with a twist of course! photographs by the oh-so-talented Frank Becker and Sarah Jane of The Time Photography From the bride... We held our wedding ceremony at a small, country church that holds only 140 people. The small chapel made the...

Spotted over on Darling Dexter, these handprinted save-the-date hankies are just about the greatest thing I've ever seen! Designed by Erin of Lucky Luxe, for a pair of photographers who are getting hitched, each save the date is printed on a different vintage hankercheif so that guests receive a one of a kind in the...
Jennifer emailed me about a month ago with pictures and details from her recent wedding...and when I saw them, there was just something special there. From her traditional ceremony held in a small chapel in Lexington, Kentucky to her ridiculously great reception at the Kentucky Aviation Museum (complete with airplanes hanging from the ceiling!). And of course, her dress...oh her wedding dress. photographs by the oh-so-talented Frank...
Ronald and Natasha were married in an absolutely beautiful ceremony at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. Natasha and wedding planner, Valarie Kirkbride orchestrated a very unique Russian "Ice" celebration.
From Valerie," When I first spoke with Natasha, she knew that she wanted an all white and cream wedding, with the only colors being the...
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.
For more eye candy and inspiration you HAVE to check out...
Thank goodness for Jen Fariello. Since we had to pull today's earlier wedding, I am loving Jen even more than I did before, as I just happened to have this absolutely lovely wedding sitting in my inbox. So I guess that I can say, Jen saved the day!
Gotta love the Pabst Blue Ribbon...adds that touch of Mountain charm that the couple was really going for! More to come!
Loving today's Mountain Chic (as the fabulous Jen Fariello put it) wedding. Family and friends gathered together to celebrate the gorgeous couple...without fuss, without pretense. Just a simple, absolutely lovely affair...
Love, love, love! So much more to come! PS...how cute is the chalkboard? Have your guests write well wishes on a board, then snap a picture. So much more fun than a...
Okay, so today has been one of those days. I am sure that a ton of you saw the absolutely fabulous wedding that we featured earlier today...well, it's potentially being published by a major magazine, something we didn't know when we received it. So, the bride has asked us to take it down. Lucky for us, I've found an absolutely gorgeous replacement wedding.
In all fairness, this wedding should get it's own day on SMP. It's just so incredibly charming...
The absolutely...
In the history of Style Me Pretty, this is a first. We've actually had to take down the featured wedding from today...yep, the one that we are so in love with. The bride just let us know that the wedding is being considered for publication, something that the photographer didn't know when she submitted it to us. It's like handing you guys a bar of the best chocolate ever, then taking it back!
We apologize from the bottom of our hearts, but we'll be back in a bit with another...
And her Spring 09 collection is my new obsession. Jennifer's gowns are ridiculously chic...each with an absolutely perfect silhouette, embellishments that are both subtle and unbelievably fabulous and a timeless style that will make your hubby swoon. Love, love, love.

Arden's Version It was just another Friday night and she was tired. Not much in the mood to go out, but Marianne twisted her arm. They ended up at Finn McCool's on the beach. In one of those Gray's Anatomy-like scenes ... two hot guys enter the bar and eyes lock. But lo and behold, only one of the guys is available. That's OK with Arden. It was the other one she was looking at, anyway.
Dave's Version Friday afternoon, his friend...
Perhaps you've heard that wedding invitations set the tone for your wedding. Well, if that's true, then you must know that your wedding flowers define the tone for the entire wedding celebration! From simple and sweet, to grand and glorious. Flowers delight. The sheer beauty has an intangible, almost magnetic effect to young and old alike. Jessica at...
Today has just been a Do-It-Yourself kind of day! Starting with the fabulous Vanilla Favors that Kathleen of Twig & Thistle put together for us, followed by the incredibly chic centerpieces that...
Thank you so very much to Mary-Kevin and Patrick for sharing their absolutely gorgeous wedding with us...the DIY touches gave the entire wedding style a touch of charm that made all of us smile. And of course, to Carrie Mccluskey for capturing the day with these beautiful images.
As a fun, end-of-day treat, we're sharing the DIY instructions for the adorable kraft favor boxes next! Stay...
After the two absolutely fabulous DIY projects that we featured this morning (the unbelievably great homemade vanilla favors that Kathleen, our DIY guru crafted and the absolutely gorgeous centerpieces that Natasha...
Love, love, love the sweet simplicity of today's featured affair. Oftentimes, it's the small, really intimate weddings that are the most beautiful. That really capture the meaning behind a wedding...close friends and family celebrating the joy of the occassion.
With that said, if your family is anything like my family...there is no way to have a small wedding! That is one of the reasons that I love today's featured affair. So many of the ideas can easily be adapted for a larger...
I am really picky when it comes to the DIY projects that we feature on SMP. I want them to be chic, sweet and sophisticated, clean and modern...all together lovely to look at. I don't want them to seem terribly homemade but I do want them to have that lovely handmade charm that the right projects always have.
That is why I love the DIY ideas that we featured earlier today, and why I love the wedding that we are featuring right now!

Since we are featuring two really incredible DIY projects today (homemade vanilla favors and mediterranean inspired centerpieces), I thought that it would be the perfect time to feature this absolutely gorgeous, DIY inspired real wedding (DIY details to come a bit later)!
A couple of weeks ago, I put out a request to my Little Black Book florist and event planners for some really great, easy DIY centerpieces. I know that there are brides who are trying so hard to reconcile their love of chic, beautiful details with their thinning budgets. So I thought this would be a great idea! Well, we got a couple of really beautiful ideas for DIY centerpieces that I had to share with you! This...
I was reminded of her ridiculously gorgeous calligraphy when I was making my morning Oh Joy! stop. And it's for certain, I have fallen in love all over again. Her perfect lettering, her eye for style and design, her hugely impressive roster of clients. If I were getting married all over again, I'd book her in a...
