Love the sneak peek! Looks like it promises to be an amazing spread!
This is the most amazing wedding set up that I have ever seen on SMP! If Anthropologie had a wedding dept, it would look like this. Absolutely LOVE!
omg! why did i not think to wear leopard shoes at my wedding??! so perfect...
i am utterly floored by this wedding -- definitely one of my all-time favorites -- beautifully styled and the colors are amazing and the overall look is just amazing! thanks so much for sharing this gorgeous, gorgeous wedding!
Seriously, I have been drooling over this feature all day long!! I am so in love with every image-every detail is so perfectly shabby-chic and fresh!
I love all of the colors and how, like a patchwork quilt, everything works together SO nicely!
This. Is. Perfection. I adore it! So bright and cheerful!
This is amazing it seems like the S. Cali brides get all the good wedding eye candy- so thank you for sharing this with us east coasters!
Does anyone know where her dress is from? It's exactly what I'm looking for!
I second the request for more info on the dress!
This was seriously gorgeous...I still don't see who the bride's dress in the very first part of this series is by?
I too love the dress in this series.. any info would be very much appreciated!
This wedding looks like it straight out of a Anthro catalogue. I love it!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing! This is my favorite wedding I've seen posted on SMP! The details make this wedding so breathtakingly unique!
Hi there! Our wardrobe stylist, Ameliana Kamstra, used one of her own vintage Anna Sui dresses for this look. It's absolutely adorable, but I'm afraid it's no longer available in stores... Sorry ladies :(
Hi there! The vintage wedding signs all come from my store: http://thebackporchshoppe.etsy.com You'll find many more wedding signs & all can be custom made for your wedding! Happy Wedding Day to all you sweet brides! A BIG thanks to Gloria & Lisa for including me in this awesome project! ~Darline
does anyone know where the assorted glasses come from, in particular the pink and yellow ones?
I would like to use those glasses at my wedding at the Biltmore Estate next month. Where did they come from?
Thanks!
I was so in love with this shoot that I created an inspiration board using just images from these posts: http://tiny.cc/IgsCX !! Thanks for sharing such beautiful work.
I adore this shoot, the colors and the imagery are incredible!
I'm completely floored at all the amazingly encouraging comments. Everyone gave their heart and soul for this shoot. It was shoot in Nor Cal at Beltrane Ranch. (sorry - not So Cal) I wish some of you had read my facebook entry where you will see that I was behind the tall shelf, holding up the flags. Hilarious.
There's so many great background stories to these shoot that I wish I could share. All I can say is that it takes great team work and wonderful inspirations to create this. Backyard Chic is chic but not easy to do.
Many thanks to Coast, Torchio who really helped us get all those great containers and who donated the garden roses. Lisa Wong Jackson is my hero. I loved how she created patterns papers for us so that we could cut them and place them in all the details.
Gloria, Lisa, Anne, Taylor, Gaby, Matt, Tawny already know how much I adore them. Great team!
I am head over heels in love with this!!! It is styled so beautifully and I am i love with those glasses!
Thanks for sharing!

I'm a letterpress printer and graphic designer and have been reading Weddings for years. It helped me plan my own wedding and I continue to refer to new issues to stay on top of trends and great ideas for brides I work with every day.

I have just come across this site and have found it to be interesting and informative.
I am so not creative but my girlfriend is and I actually going to show her this site I think that she will just love it and she can get all creative with this, I have to say that they did come out very nice and these would make a great gift,as no one makes things any more they would rather spend money on impractical things.
Ha ha ha I had a good laugh when I saw this, I have to say that if and when I get married I think that if we had to wear striped socks like those the future misses would be up for murder, but I do like the packaging that is just brilliant.

Hi Clementine,

I think that green is a fantastic colour to get married in, Queen Victoria made white the norm for a wedding dress when she got married to Prince Albert!
LOVE everything about this dress. Dying to know where the little flower girls dress is from? Also, where are the vases from? Beautiful!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this wedding. Where can I find that adorable flower girl dress? Also, where are the vases from? Beautiful!!
I loved this as soon as I saw it on their blog! It would be easy and not too expensive for a bride to replicate this decor . So sweet!
I'm so excited!! Thank you! :) Is there anything I should do to redeem the tickets?
Test comment.
