Before we move on to today’s featured wedding, here’s our LBB Blog rendition of Friday’s Favorite Features~ a blast from the past of some of our fantastic Little Black Book Members!
And ~ since we were just talking about Daria Bishop Photographers yesterday, here are a couple of our own personal favorites and huge SMP fan favorites from last year by the adorable Daria & Andy Bishop in Vermont!
* * *
First up, there’s Brandi and Marty’s Lake Placid wedding that was brimming with sunshine in an LBB post from last January. Readers mostly loved this wedding because of the buttery yellow color palette and the overall sense of joy that Daria and Andy captured. I LOVE the colors in this first shot of Brandi!!
The first photo (below) captured an award in one of the WPA contests in the “getting ready” category.
If you’re new to SMP’s Little Black Book Blog, you definitely ought to take a look back at this favorite feature from Daria Bishop Photographers! You can see a really great slideshow from Brandi & Marty’s wedding on Daria & Andy’s new blog!

The second favorite feature from Daria & Andy is …. drumroll ….. Katie and Mario’s Vintage Wedding in Connecticut! You can’t speak the words Daria and Andy without Katie & Mario’s wedding coming to mind. This feature has raked in 22,000+ page views for the Little Black Book Blog. That’s whopping! Take a look and you’ll see why …
In this day and age of vintage-love, Mario & Katie’s wedding takes the cake!
You can see a super-cool slideshow from Katie & Mario’s wedding on Daria Bishop Photographers’ new website (listed under Love Stories)!

Happy Friday, Daria & Andy! We’re looking forward to some beautiful New England wedding features this fall!
Thank you so much!! We adore you Style Me Pretty!! xoxo
I LOVE those mustache-on-a-sticks! Where can I find those?
Mustache on a stick - I found mine through etsy - somethingshidinginhere they are GOREGOUS hand carved wooden mustaches.
Question for Daria - where did you get those cocktail sticks - Oh happy day, and I do, I am trying to figure out how to buy/make those ;)
Beautiful, love SMP!
Katie and Mario's wedding is amazing! I just wish I could be as unique as some of the bride and grooms you feature! So much fun!
THANK YOU for the shout out! Aren't Daria & Andy just super duper awesome?!! We are so happy with how they captured our wedding.
Brittany, glad you like the wooden mustaches! My hubby Mario carved those ones, but as Vaneesha mentioned, you can find lovely ones on etsy. (great wedding resource)
Hi Vaneesha! Brandi, the bride, made the cocktail sticks. Aren't they are so adorable!!
I would also be interested in how she made the cocktail sticks. They look easy enough.
Hi Vaneesha and Laura,
I just nabbed what Brandi had to say about the cocktail sticks from Brandi + Marty's previous SMP blog post....
"I actually made the cocktail flags. The yellow paper is from PaperSource, I printed them on my home printer, cut them and then used double-sided tape to affix them to bamboo skewers."
I hope that helps!!

katie- im a ct bride and would love to know where you got your cake made??
Thanks for tips on cocktail stirrers - I am going to attempt my first wedding DIY project!
Thanks for the love! It's so fun to relive our wedding day on SMP! Vanesha and Laura, Daria's comment above details how I made the cocktail flags. It was a relatively simple project and definitely worth it when we saw the results at cocktail hour. One thing to note, when you go to your venue ask them which glasses they'll be using for passed drinks during the cocktail hour. Get the measurements of the glasses, so you'll know what length to cut the bamboo sticks.
I love the colors of that first wedding. So bright and cheerful!!!!

LOVE the vintage wedding! It's amazing! Seriously Amazing! Very talented people!
A very belated response re: our cake... it was made by Renata of Lovely Cakes in Norwalk, CT. (www.lovelycakes.net) She is FANTASTIC. And I can't even describe how wonderful it tasted (we chose chocolate and peanut butter.) Renata recently made a mini version of our cake for our one-year anniversary. Adorable!
