SMP Loves…Our Advertisers!

We are so thrilled to have partnered with some absolutely FAB new advertisers…from gorgeous invitation lines to stunning jewelers, perfect flower girl dresses and unbelievably talented photographers, it’s hard not to fall in love with each one.

First up, the absolutely incredible photographers of Studio This Is / SOTA Dzine. When I tell you their work is stunning, I am hugely understating their talents. From beautiful, thought provoking fine art portraits…

to more classically gorgeous images, every photograph seems to tell a story.

There really are no words for just how great I think Studio This Is / SOTA Dzine is, so you’ll just have to grab a cup of coffee and spend some time poring over their galleries. Also, check out their gorgeous portfolio in our Destination Wedding Guide.

Next up, the company that is making waves all over the wedding industry, Wedding Paper Divas. The best thing about the Divas is that they’ve partnered with some of THE best designers around to create collections that are modern and yet incredibly classic, fresh and yet wonderfully sophisticated. My two current favs (although they change weekly) are the designs from Good on Paper….

and, the fabulous Dwell Collection…

LOVE! Definitely worth a lengthy visit if you are in the market for really great designs at a reasonable price!

Next up, the oh-so-fabulous Bella Figura! I have had a love affair with Bella Figura since the moment I laid eyes on this season’s absolutely gorgeous designs. Aside from being so chic, the quality of letterpress is unmatched. With designs that would make any paper aficionado swoon, Bella Figura is a definite must have!

OBSESSED.

Okay, moving right along to Invitation Consultants! The very best thing about Invitation Consultants is the HUGE variety of creations that they offer. You can choose by size (loving the square invites by the way), by color, by style, by price point, by virtually anything….

Plus, they really have something for everyone and most of the invitations would work on just about any budget. I so appreciate it when a company really thinks about their customers wants and needs…great designs, at even better prices. LOVE.

The creative director of Papeterie, Kimberly Chiu, has really crafted something special. Her team of graphic designers and typography experts have designed a collection of invitations that is refreshing in simplicity and style. I love, love, love their letterpress line…it’s the perfect combination of timeless luxury paired with fun, relaxed styles. Moms and brides alike will love Papeterie, guaranteed.

Here is a look at some of their custom work…

Definitely spend some time checking out this collection. They have a pretty great variety of really gorgeous designs!

Now on to the jewelery designers that we’ve partnered up with! The first is one of my one true loves…Erin Gallagher. I’ve featured her work before on SMP, as I honestly love the simple, beautiful designs that she crafts. With collections for both the bride and the bridesmaid, Erin allows you to customize your order so that it suits your style to perfection. Her jewelry is flawlessly made and is stunning paired with a flirty dress, a classic wedding gown or a great pair of jeans. Love every bit of it.

The next jewelry designer that we are loving is Luxe Designs…a really innovative company whose goal is to create gorgeous, really personal jewelry that clients will cherish for years to come. You can add words, names or personal sayings to the charm inspired pieces, that bring a real sense of “you” to the design. I loved looking through their site (and their blog) to see what other customers have created. Each piece is a little window into their personality and style…

* * *

And last, but definitely not least…the oh-so-lovely work of Pegeen, flower girl dresses and ring bearer attire for the cutest of cuties. I secretly wanted to have a little girl so that I could dress her in perfect, frilly frocks that were made for twirling. And Pegeen is overflowing with these little gems. The best part of the site…the customization section where you can check out tons of different colors and styles until you find the perfect dress!

Prices vary depending on the style and the level of customization, but average price points are around $150. Pretty great considering the little ones will feel like a princess (or a prince of course!) for a day.

A HUGE thank you to all of our advertising partners. We are really particular about the companies that we partner with, as we want to be able to honestly recommend their work to the people that matter most…our readers. So, definitely check out the wonderful vendors that we’re working with. It’s so worth it.

   Hi Abby! I can't tell you how excited I was to see my flower girls pictures show up in your new advertisers post. My girls are the in the pink and champagne dresses. Pegeen was great to work with and the girls were in love with their dresses.

   I wish more people in the Australian wedding industry would take a leaf out of your book! The work of these companies really reminds me how isolated us Aussie brides really are!

   I absolutely love Studio This Is! I came across them a year ago when I was helping my friend with her wedding and I can't wait until the day I get married. I think their work is incredible!

    Wow! Beautiful photos!
    I love the tulle/crystal hair flowers worn by the bride with her back facing us....Anyone know where this was made? Looking for something similar.

    Thanks :)
