Corbin Gurkin is the voice behind the AMAZING photographs from this Italian, oh-so-elegant wedding. It’s a refreshing change from the rustic chic affairs that we feature here and I am loving the soft, subtle palette and the traditionally gorgeous styling.

The dress that the bride is ROCKING is by Monique Lhuillier. We actually...

This wedding is all together easy on the eyes. And I really mean that…it’s so easy to fall in love with, so easy to see the beauty behind the day, so easy to just relax and let the prettiness unfold. Sent to us by the wonderfully talented Corbin Curkin, the wedding was held in Italy and was inspired by the brides love of all things wedding!

I love that we’ve recently started featuring showers and rehearsal dinners. They are such an integral part of the wedding process and they always serve to inspire LOTS of steal worthy ideas. This shower, designed by the fabulous team at Dooby Design Group, was all about Turquoise and Yellow fun!

This wedding is SO picture perfect. So completely lovely that it’s hard to find the right words. Plus, I am SUCKER for paper poms so you know I loved this one even more than I usually do! Add some pink lemonade, a gorgeous bride, perfect bridesmaids dresses and flowers that are as pretty as they are totally laid back. Love, love, love! The photographs were captured by the wonderfully talented Katie Anderson…

Okay, I swear this is the last post on my daughter’s party. This is a wedding blog to the core, I promise…BUT, I do think that you can find inspiration for your own day in so many places. Even at a 1 year old’s birthday party!

Case in point. You can hire Studio Foto to capture your wedding photos, that are sure to be just as gorgeous as these babies (shameless plug, I know). Second, you can let perfect cupcakes...

I am totally jumping the wedding ship for a few hours to share with you my favorite party ever…my daughter’s first birthday! The only reason that I feel like this is totally allowed is that SO many of the details were inspired by past weddings and events we’ve featured here on SMP. So, without further ado, here is the prettiness in full effect!

the pretty, pretty photographs are by Studio Foto (who I heart big...

I hope everyone had a long and lazy weekend! Today, we have the most fun, mosty girly, most adorable inspiration you could ever want. And although I know that this is a wedding blog through and through, the girl behind the blog (me) is now a mommy who LOVES to throw a great party. So this morning, I thought that I would share my daughter’s first birthday party that was inspired totally from details we’ve done right here on SMP.

Oh and the best news ever? Cookie...

Thank you so very much to Allie and Josh for letting us share in their celebration. I am hoping that Allie will stop by next week with a DIY project inspired from her many wedding crafts. She has such a lovely aesthetic, such a thoughtfully beautiful approach to design and we’d love to have her share some of that with us!

I hope that everyone has a happy and safe holiday weekend! Here are a few more pictures from today’s affair to see you into the weekend…

Finally, the details!! This bride ROCKED OUT the details for her wedding. Every table was perfect, every centerpiece lovely. She put so much care into designing a wedding that reflected their lives, that was both approachable and forever elegant. I am madly in love with this day.  To say the least!

Oh and I have to say, there are a lot of good things about having a wedding in Oregon. But hands down the best reason ever is...

I’m really making you hold out for the details behind today’s gorgeous affair! But, all of the pictures were so lovely that I had a hard time narrowing them down. Here are a few pics of the oh-so-pretty bride, her handsome groom and the gorgeous flowers that she carried!
