Christine, the gorgeous bride, has been sweet enough to share a few of the details from her affair…

From Christine…

What I liked best about the wedding was our ability to bring together different aspects of our life that, on the surface, don’t go together.

Together, we were able to create a rustic luxe feel that was really...

Before we get to the details, you have to see these ridiculously lovely shots of the bride and groom…

It’s right out of a...

Parker J is one of those photographers that we are HUGELY proud to have in our Little Black Book. His perspective and approach to weddings is so unique, so unbelievably beautiful. It’s a little bit vintage, a little bit romantic. Each image is absolutely breathtaking, standing alone or among others that he has captured.

Now on to the absolutely gorgeous reception that Jessie and Matt threw for their guests at a restaurant in Point Loma, California called Old Venice Restaurant and Cafe. Love, love, love the simple elegance of the decor…from the sweet flower arrangements that the bride designed and crafted to the lovely white linens. Every bit is just beautiful.

SMP Loves…Pew Cards!

April 14th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 1 comment

Found via Twigs & Thistle, these pew cards are just too cute not to share with the world. Crafted by the fabulous Ellie of the design blog Mint, each card will be handed out to guests that require a reserved seat. The guest then simply shows the card to the usher, so that he knows to seat them in the appropriate location. How great is that!? Thanks for the...
