This wedding, sent to us by Orchard Cove Photography, is amazing. Flat out amazing. In fact, I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen such a blissful setting, such a thoughtful, lovingly crafted wedding design. The entire affair makes me want to pack it up and head back in time to summer camp!

The wedding ceremony was held at Camp O-At-Ka in Sabego, Maine...

If there is one thing that I can’t get enough of, it’s wedding details. Done right, details will make a wedding magazine-worthy (or in this case, SMP worthy). Details will give your guests a glimpse into the hours upon hours spent poring over every little touch, every little wedding planning piece of crazy. Details are one of the best ways to put your style stamp on your wedding, a way to let your nearest and dearest know just how special the evening is.

But whatever the cause, my love affair with all things yellow has been taken to an entirely new level thanks to this incredible wedding that the forever talented Courtney Caplan sent me…

I mean come on. How stinking...
