I love today’s real wedding. Mostly because it satisfies my two very distinct personalities…the one that loves vibrancy and color, and the one that is drawn to sheer, simple elegance. Anne and Dave were married this past August in a traditional Indian Ceremony at the Hotel Fiesole, which was followed by a gorgeous Western reception at Dave’s aunt’s private home.

The wedding was sent to us by...

Just when I thought that today’s featured wedding was all about that scrumptious green, chocolate and white palette…they liven things up with these fabulous shots of red. The bright hue brings such a fun vibe to the already gorgeous cocktail hour.

Using the red in the apple as inspiration, the little pops of color are absolutely perfect. Shot by the forever talented Sylvia Gil, this wedding is a...

Today we’ve been featuring the most gorgeous real wedding that photographer Sylvie Gil sent us. I’ve been a little Napa-crazy lately, with two wine country weddings yesterday and this lovely wedding today. Must be the buckets of snow that are sitting outside my doorstep and the memory of what it used to be like to live in the beautiful Bay Area.

Whatever the reason, I just fell head over heels for this gorgeous...

Loving today’s featured wedding, which was sent to me by the fabulous Sylvie Gil. She is one lucky photographer to have the pleasure of working with such unbelievably creative couples, who throw such unbelievably beautiful affairs. This one, is definitely one of my favs.

The kids alone are enough to send me over the edge, with their absolutely adorably white and green attire, ballet shoes and perfect little faces.

I know we feature a lot of outdoor weddings here on SMP, but I couldn’t resist sharing just one more. It took place on an Apple Farm in Napa Valley and was filled with absolutely perfect details, seemingly right out of a magazine. Love, love, love…

All photographs were shot by the forever talented Sylvie Gil. So much more to come!

Today’s featured Little Black Book Photographer is Amanda Kraft, an amazing talent in Pennsylvania. But as you all know, amazing photographers almost ALWAYS have the itch to travel … pretty much anywhere! Seriously, always keep that in the back of your mind. If you see a photographer’s work (or a cinematographer or pretty much any other wedding...

Even though they promptly destroyed my mission: lose ten pounds, the chubby chocolate cookies and oozy boozy caramel truffles that Chocolate Gourmet sent me, were worth every ounce. Made from the finest ingredients, these little treats don’t take themselves too seriously…perfect favors for a bride and groom that don’t either. Love, love, love.

Ever since I stumbled upon Sylvie Gil’s gorgeous photography, I have become a little bit obsessed. Okay, a lot obsessed. The weddings that she features are just so beautiful, so thoughtfully designed. Today’s wedding took place on an Apple Farm in Northern, California and in a word…it’s magic.

From Kate, the lovely bride…

My husband and I thought a lot about what we...

A HUGE thank you to Sylvie Gil for sharing today’s absolutely beautiful wedding with us. It was a great way to kick off our week, with style bounding out of every corner. And of course, thank you to Cynthia and Rob for letting us peek into their gorgeous day.

From the elegant table settings with their linen, white, green and chocolate palettes, and the sophisticated but totally unfussy centerpieces.
