I thought that this Mad Men inspired wedding was totally adorable, totally fun. Photographed by Tara Kneiser of Dixie Pixel Photography, this wedding is vintage inspired goodness and for me, it’s the definition of a really whimsical wedding. One that you will find so many steal-worthy details. Super, SUPER cute stuff here people.

The cute, cute couple was married in a backyard affair this past October in Tennessee.

Okay. This just might be the cutest engagement session EVER. It seriously wins the prize for the most adorable set of pics I’ve ever seen and I am insanely jealous that I didn’t think of the idea first. Shot by Stephan Maloman, these pics are making me very, very happy.

A perfect pink dress, a dreamy groom and four inch stiletto’s. Um, hello perfection, my name is Abby. I love, love, love this shoot and am so...

Abby and I were both born and raised in Texas. So when we tell you about the 20 golden days of October, well…we know what we’re talking about! Both of Abby’s sisters were married in Houston, in October and we couldn’t have asked for any better weather. Impressed the heck out of all of our northern kinfolk! Almost convinced them that we don’t live in the desert … almost! And like all Texas Octobers ~  these past few weeks in Houston have been spot on with...

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! It was blissful here in Boston so we spent most of the our days outside, playing in the leaves and eating way too many pumpkin donuts.

And I mean serious prettiness…a wedding by Jose Villa, an affair by...

Sent to us by Karri North Photography, this wedding is just as sweet as the bride’s beautiful smile. Love the crisp modern feel and the bright pops of yellow that just jump up and say “it’s happy day”. The bride, Rena, works in advertising so she knew exactly how to pull together a completely inviting event full of chic little details and stylish charm.

If you read a little bit about Julie Afflerbaugh, you’ll know that she describes her style as artistic and spontaneous. She goes on to say, “The energy in my photographs comes from the relationship I build with my clients. Because we have fun and grow comfortable with each other, the photographs are more natural and real.” And as we’ve preached before, here at SMP, what...

We have several very different celebrations to share with you today, each couple with their own distinct style and each event full of steal-worthy ideas. First up, we have a beautiful October affair held at Union Station in Los Angeles. Now, I have to admit… I was a little partial to this one. My hubby and I celebrated our marriage a couple years ago at a historic train station in my hometown… So when I saw this wedding sent to us by LBB member, Britney Gardner and Joe Rumore of...
