Travel Themed Rehearsal Dinner, II

September 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 9 comments

Kathy Goodman of Well Rehearsed put together one of the most charming rehearsal dinners I’ve seen in a long time. What I love about Kathy’s work is that it is always edited, never overdone.  Her details are simple and yet thoughtful so that each touch has a purpose. Here’s a bit more from this adorable affair…

September 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 8 comments

For those of you that fell in love with today’s earlier featured wedding by Karen Wise, you HAVE to see the adorable cocktail dress that the bride donned for the reception. We have all of the fashion details right here!

Okay! Moving on. I’ve been featuring more and more rehearsal dinners lately on SMP, mainly because I love the laid-back vibe and the details...

Malibu Wedding – The Look For Less

September 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 2 comments

Every now and then I get really inspired to do a Look For Less feature…basically offering up tips and ideas on pulling off one of our super chic weddings on more of a budget. Well, even though today’s Malibu affair already had some GREAT  budget tips, I thought we could turn it up a notch.

We are breaking it all down over on the Style Circle, so to read more about...

Malibu Chic Wedding by Karen Wise, IV

Thank you so very much to the lovely Catherine and Ken for sharing their incredibly beautiful day with us. I love the thought, the energy and the pretty that you infused into each and every detail. And to Karen Wise for continuing to excite and inspire me!

We are both lovers of jazz and found an awesome band that played classic jazz hits during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.  I walked down the aisle to Miles Davis’ “It Never Entered My Mind.”  We couldn’t decide...

Malibu Chic Wedding by Karen Wise, III

September 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 7 comments

I could go on and on and on about why I love this wedding. It’s not hard to fall hard for the pretty, girly style. The perfect peonies. The draped twinkle lights. But what I love the most is that the bride and groom poured their heart into designing a day that their friends and family would remember forever. That was as romantic as it was thoughtful. This wedding, photographed by the incredible Karen Wise, is the perfect reflection of...

Wedding Inspiration ~ Santa Fe Beauty + Artist Lor Roybal

September 2nd. 2009 by Eddye | 10 comments

“Kitty & Craig ~ How is it possible that you make my wishes come true? Man, when I first set out to plan our wedding, I looked at SMP for a lot of inspiration (hmmm, minus the thousands upon thousands of dollars that some of the brides spend on their weddings). And I said to Mike, “How cool would that be to be on that website”. Never, ever, not even a little bit thinking I’d get slightly obsessed with the whole wedding process. Months later, I was there. Slightly...

Malibu Chic Wedding by Karen Wise, II

September 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 22 comments

This wedding is about as pretty as a wedding could possibly be. From the stunning bride and groom, to the flowers that are right out of a painting, to the photographs that Karen Wise shot…every detail is perfection. And, what’s even more exciting is that the beautiful bride, Catherine, loves Style Me Pretty (she even said love, love, love!) and has agreed to share all of the pretty details with us today!

Malibu Chic Wedding by Karen Wise

September 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 3 comments

This is it. My dream wedding.

I know that I promised to feature less picture perfect outdoor weddings (and I swear I will) but this one was just too stunning to pass up. Chandeliers hanging from trees, perfect pink peonies, horses grazing in the background. Oh and a perfect white dress, a dreamy groom and details that will make you swoon.

Karen Wise, who is constantly inspiring me, photographed this wedding and to me...

And all in the bride’s very own words …

My husband and I were married at the historic North Chapel, a recently restored naval chapel that is now open for public use. In the...

Elopement in Mexico by Lisa Vorce + Aaron Delesie, III

September 1st. 2009 by Abby Larson | 12 comments

Yet again…Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming!, Aaron Delesie and the florist behind the event, Mindy Rice, have completely blown me away. This elopement is just about the prettiest thing that we’ve ever seen…and I say “we” because I made my husband come over and look at it for inspiration (renewal of vows, hint, hint). Thank you so very much to all three of you for inspiring us to no end!

More from Lisa…

Their ceremony was held in the...

Elopement in Mexico by Lisa Vorce + Aaron Delesie, II

September 1st. 2009 by Abby Larson | 9 comments

There is something blissfully romantic about an elopement. Although I can’t say that I’d ever do it, I looooove reading about couples that threw caution to the wind, hopped on a plane and celebrated their wedding completely alone. It’s right out of a movie really.

Well, this one…is basically as beautiful as you can possibly imagine. Planned by Lisa Vorce, it’s completely delicious. Oh and the...

Elopement in Mexico by Lisa Vorce + Aaron Delesie

September 1st. 2009 by Abby Larson | 13 comments

I think that this might be the first elopement that we’ve ever featured on SMP! And, it’s a pretty drop-dead-gorgeous elopement at that! Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming! is the designer behind this amazing spread and Aaron Delesie is the photographer. It’s a Lisa + Aaron kind of day here and I am SO glad that they have agreed to share all of this gorgeousness.

White Wedding by Aaron Delesie + Lisa Vorce, V

Thank you so very much to Lisa Vorce and Aaron Delesie for sharing today’s first featured wedding with us! It was a lesson in all things lovely. And you know what else I love? (shameless promotion here) Almost all of the vendors were Little Black Book members! I love that our book reflects such...

White Wedding by Aaron Delesie + Lisa Vorce, IV

September 1st. 2009 by Abby Larson | 9 comments

The thing that Lisa does beautifully, probably better than anyone I’ve ever seen…is layering. Layering of textures, of colors, of fabrics, of details. She creates a story within the weddings that she designs, bringing a thoughtfulness to each and every element. And Aaron…well, he photographs in such a way that you really see the softness behind the day. The pure and...

White Wedding by Aaron Delesie + Lisa Vorce, III

September 1st. 2009 by Abby Larson | 10 comments

Love, love, love today’s first wedding (yep, we have two!). It’s perfect. It’s everything a wedding should be…gorgeous, inspired, thoughtful and full of romance. Lisa Vorce is the designer behind the day and when I say that I love Lisa, I am vastly understating my real feelings. She’s a genius in all things lovely and together with Aaron Delesie, the two...
