We promised you the details from Suzanne and Justin’s wedding (hours ago) … but believe us when we say, this is SO worth the wait! We’re not even going to ooh or ahh … just yet … (but it’s really hard not to say, “OMG, isn’t this the cutest idea ever ?!”)

It’s finally (sorry) time to announce the lucky 2 Paloma’s Nest Giveaway Winners! Caroline’s work is absolutely precious so these two girls sure did pick a good one to win!

The first is Nicole L. who said, “This one puts butterflies in my stomach – in the good way…”. And the second winner...

Thank you so much to Grace and David for allowing us to share in their simply beautiful day. It is such a refreshing affair, with notes of sweetness and style infused into every detail.

A few more words from the bride…

We tried incorporating the theme of nature into our event décor as well.  Our florist, Sharla Flock Designs, created stunning centerpieces with floral and natural elements including orchids, calla lilies, horsetails, ti leaves, and manzanita branches.  I...

I knew you guys were going to love this wedding. It’s just enough sweetness, just enough chic, just enough tradition to reach so many different types of brides. Here are a few more details…

From the bride…

One of the messages we wanted to convey through our wedding was our love of the outdoors. ...

There is only one word that appropriately describes today’s featured affair…lovely. Absolutely, positively lovely. On SMP,  we tend to highlight a ton of weddings that are heavy on charm but few that are simple in their traditional styling. Sometimes, the best weddings are the most traditional…where simple, elegant details add up to a spectacular affair…

Most of the time when we see a new wedding up on Justin & Mary’s site, we want it! That’s mostly because their ability to tell the story of the day through their images is so incredible … but also because their weddings are just so SMP-style weddings. Pretty much 100% of the time! Take, for example, today’s wedding … how much better than this does it get?

We debuted the latest elum design in our last feature, but what we didn’t tell you is that the amazing designers recently launched a new album devoted exclusively to personalized letterpress stationery!

LOVE! For any of you paper snobs, like myself out there, elum is the cream of the crop! Spend some time checking out their gorgeous letterpress portfolio! You definitely won’t be disappointed.

The AMAZING team at Elum just sent me a preview of one of their new Fall inspired letterpress invitations. And I got so excited, I did a quick little inspiration board to showcase the design in all it’s glory…

You guys might remember this unbelievably great wedding in Palm Beach that we featured a couple of months back. Well, one of the very best thing about the wedding was the incredible paper details that the bride and her graphic designer put together. I swooned for a solid month after the wedding, just thinking about how great everything was.

Well, lucky for us, the designer behind all of those...

Justin and Suzanne were married at the Branford House on a picture-perfect Connecticut spring day!

Two of our favorite LBB members, Justin and Mary Marantz were there to capture all the beauty of the day …

But before we get to all of the lovely pieces of this day … we want to...

A while back we introduced you guys to the fabulousness that is Melangerie…a NY based design studio that specializes in wedding and event details. Each project is so totally thoughtful, so completely adorable, I had to share their latest creation with you!

Are you dying to know what each and every little goodie is? Well, here’s the low-down from the girls at...

You are going to LOVE this next feature. And I mean seriously love.

The ridiculously talented Andrew Hsu of Studio MSV sent us this little clip that he put together during a photoshoot for Brides Northern California Magazine. I don’t want to tell you too much, because you really HAVE to watch it, but…let’s just say that the shoot includes some of my all time favorite artists and is more FABULOUS than you can imagine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Woodward + Rick for sending us today’s featured affair! The flowers alone, designed by Aria Floral, are enough to bring a girl to tears. The entire affair was the perfect way to kick off the week so we are thrilled to have been a part of it!

Coming up, we have an INCREDIBLE little video that you are really going to love! Oh and...

If you are just now joining us, brace yourself. Today’s featuring wedding has been a complete joy to write about but it’s the reception that literally blew my mind. The design is a little cluttered in that absolutely perfect way, a little vintage without seeming themed, a little bit perfect while still being completely approachable. How can you NOT love this wedding?

The couple managed to bring the outdoors in with their garden like decor that almost seems like it has...

Ok, back to today’s featured affair. If you thought that the ceremony was gorgeous…wait until you see the reception that this lovely couple threw!

The event was PURE romance and the photographs only help us to see the absolute, unabashed beauty of the day. If there is one lesson from today’s wedding, it’s this…layer, layer, then layer some more. The bride used this gorgeous garden inspiration as her starting point, then continued to bring in different...
