Don’t all of these giveaways just make you happy. Well, they make me want to jump into my old cheerleading outfits and do a little rah, rah, rah. Ok, that might be overstating it, but I love them nonetheless! Today’s giveaway is from Sarah at the fabulous new design studio Fuzzynk.

Fuzzynk was born after planning her own beautiful...

Elsje is one of those blogs that I stalk. They don’t update everyday, but when they do…watch-out. They put the most fabulous features up that will literally make you want to drop every wedding decision you’ve ever made and do something even more perfect.

This is a wedding that I’ve been dying to feature for a while and the girls recently uploaded a few more images that really help to tell the story...

Real Wedding: Amy + Matt, III

June 5th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 17 comments

We have readers that work on every type of budget imaginable…from $2,000 to $200,00 and just about everything in between. So while we don’t always focus on one type of wedding over another, we hope that budgets large and small can find inspirations and ideas from those we do feature on SMP.

And Amy and Matt’s wedding, sent to us by lunaphoto is one that anyone would love, filled with a simply elegant style...

Real Wedding: Amy + Matt, II

June 5th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 17 comments

The past two days have been all about weddings that fall in the $5,000-$10,000 range. But more importantly, they are weddings where the bride and groom allow those that are closest to them to really help define the day. Those where their unique personalities are infused into the wedding style. Those where details really shine. And, regardless of their budget, I love that Amy + Matt did just that.

Ahh…I can just breathe a sigh of pure happiness when I look at these photographs.

Real Wedding: Amy + Matt

June 4th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 16 comments

So, for those of you that are curious, I got the idea for today’s feature after I got an email from a sweet and loyal reader who was hoping that I would show her a few more $5,000-$10,000 as her family has been hit hard by the economy and she and her fiance are footing the bill for their affair. And yet like all brides, she still wants a beautiful wedding.

Sounded reasonable enough to me! So, I sent out a twitter (or a tweet, however you are supposed to say it) and ended up...

Real Wedding: Jess and Christian, II

June 4th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 23 comments

This just might be the cutest, budget friendly wedding I’ve ever seen. The couple was going for a “Wonder Years backyard BBQ.” Jess and Christian wanted their guests to get a taste of the city they now call home, so they held their wedding in downtown LA at the Oviatt Penthouse. They hired the fabulous Courtney Toney of Joyful Weddings and Events and...

Real Wedding: Jess and Christian

June 4th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 30 comments

Since the beginning, I’ve been trying to show our readers that weddings come in so many different shapes and sizes. There are million dollar brides who don’t want to spend a lot on their affair, there are budget brides who are willing to splurge a bit. There are perfect backyard affairs, unbelievable ballroom fete’s. There are weddings with 40 guests and weddings with 400 guests. There is simply no longer a right or wrong way to throw a wedding.

So, when the fabulous...

Real Wedding: Jaime and Todd, III

June 4th. 2009 by Abby Larson | 9 comments

Love. Love. Love. This wedding is one of my new favs that we’ve featured on SMP. As mentioned earlier, ALL of the weddings that we are featuring today were designed for somewhere in the area of $5,000 – $10,000 and yet this one, seems like it could have cost much more. There is just something about the easy elegance, the soft and pretty style, the absolute love.

A few quick details from the fabulous photographer behind the affair, Kelly of...

This wedding, more than any other I’ve seen in a long time, is all about the love. Jamie and Todd are clearly smitten with each other, in that completely adorable first love kind of way, and it’s so refreshing to see that they allowed that love to take center stagt

e. Above all else.

From the fabulous photographer, Kelly

Michele and Chick At The Harold Pratt House, New York

June 4th. 2009 by Eddye | 22 comments

You know, sometimes, when we look thru the photos of a wedding from one of our great Little Black Book members, something just jumps off the page. Sometimes it’s the beautiful setting, sometimes it’s the color palette, and pretty much everytime … it’s the emotions that they’ve captured. But the images from this wedding, from...
