I am SO excited about today’s post. By now, most of you are probably well aware of my complete obsessions with all things Ceci. The designer behind the fabulous brand, Lisa Hoffman, is one of the most innovative artists out there, crafting little masterpieces that reflect that bride and groom to perfection.

Well, we are so thrilled to tell you that Lisa and her...

Think of planning your wedding as a practice run for marriage. The way you handle stress and disagreements now can set a pattern for dealing with future conflicts, so work out differences and establish solid communication skills. Image: Dove Wedding Photography.

“Grayson and I decided that we wanted to spend our entire wedding day together, so instead of bucking the tradition of waiting to see each other, we chose to have our wedding ceremony at 12 noon. This posed only a slight problem for the guys, the North Carolina humidity on an...

Before I leave you for the weekend, I wanted to touch on just a couple of things. First, a quick reminder that I will be at the Commandant’s House in Boston (Charlestown) this weekend for a luxury bridal show hosted by the fabulous Leana Gallagher. TONS of inspiration to be had as well as some pretty great industry pros. Click here to see all of the details!

And secondly, we have decided to...

I wanted to share one more fabulous indoor affair that the oh-so-talented Erin Beach sent me. And this one, is all about the venue. By choosing a venue that was already rich in style and ambiance, they needed very little in the way of decor to make it fabulous. Just a few great centerpieces and a showstoppingly gorgeous flower arrangement, by none other than our Little Black Book’s...

A HUGE thank you to Brian and Stella Alesi for sending us today’s gorgeous wedding. It is proof that a wedding doesn’t need to be overly elaborate or styled to be stunning!

A quick little note about Brian and Stella Alesi…I recently was attending an event in Nashville, Tennessee and one of the girls that was an avid SMP reader approached me to chat about her...

Today we are looking at the art of an indoor wedding…finding chic ways to really beautify a space. I love this wedding that Brian and Stella Alesi sent me for the absolutely lovely details. It’s not over-the-top, it’s not overly designed. It’s simple and totally SMP…

“DeeAnn and Eric pulled together a great Mexican-themed wedding, an event FULL of love, joy and happiness. To create the theme, they had a friend design a burning heart logo for them (wedding logos are great ideas) and then worked the entire theme of the wedding around the logo. They had a special piñata made in Mexico of their logo, used Mexican oil...

Today is all about chic, indoor affairs (for those of us that aren’t lucky enough to live on the coast of California).The insanely talented Brian and Stella Alesi sent me this one and I fell in love with the simple, joyful style. It’s a wedding that may not have been the most elaborate or the most luxuriously styled, but it’s pure loveliness nonetheless…

The bride and groom are just radiating happiness which...

It should only take a second to guess that this was ONE very special wedding!

As  with virtually ALL weddings, there is so much more to the story than meets the eye.

Sent to us by Little Black Book photographer Cameron Clark at Cameron + Kelly Studios, DeeAnn and Eric’s wedding in Tucson immediately caught our eye! We think, it’s...

I mentioned yesterday that we would be featuring more indoor weddings over the next few weeks here on SMP.  Although I looooove the simple beauty of an outdoor affair, it’s often not hugely practical for brides in say, Texas or Ohio or well, most of the cities out there! So, I thought we could start sprinkling in a few really lovely affairs where the ceremony and/or the reception are safe and sound inside a fabulous indoor space!

This one was sent to me by the fabulous...

Loving the ready to wear collection that Monique Lhuillier debuted with her Spring 2009 collection. I am an obvious admirer of all things Monique, but this season in particular just makes me happy. From the flirty yellow cocktail dresses to the stunning evening gowns, every piece is absolutely beautiful. My favorite just...
