I knew that you guys would love this shoot. It’s everything that a girl could want…it’s pretty, it’s elegant, it’s romantic. It’s filled to the brim with the most picture perfect details and completely captures the essence of the Style Me Pretty bride. A HUGE thank you to Millie Holloman, Salt Harbor Designs and the rest of the incredible team for taking the time, money and energy to put something this special together. I can say with complete confidence that it will forever be an SMP favorite.

And for all of you, we actually have a really fun special offer from one of the vendors. Charlene of South ‘n France is offering readers a 25% discount off any South ‘n France Bon Bon order. Perfect for the holidays!! Just enter the code “pretty” when you check out and you’ll be all set. I am heading over there to place my order as we speak!

Okay, back to the amazing shoot. Here are a few behind the scenes details from Millie and Jennifer…
To create our ceremony site, we used wallpaper for the aisle runner and an old wooden table lined with flowers for the altar. For seating, we brought in great wooden benches for Party Suppliers and Rentals and added a few cushions. We also hung a swing from the tree to add some of that childlike whimsy. We used all different types and colors of ribbon and tied them to white wooden poles for guests to wave goodbye. We used wallpaper to create signage for our “kissing booth” that said “pucker up” and attached it to two wooden poles we had painted white.


Amazing. My head is spinning with ideas and inspirations thanks to the incredible spread that Millie, Jennifer and team designed for us. I feel SO lucky to work with such talented people and even luckier to be able to brag about them on a platform like Style Me Pretty. Thanks again to everyone who participated, especially our incredibly talented reader that designed the inspiration board! We have tons of From Inspiration to Reality shoots in the works, along with some pretty amazing weddings coming your way this week!

Everything looks absolutely fabulous! Thank you so much for making this inspiration a reality! It is stunning :)
Still can't get over her dress. so unique. so beautiful.
wow so beautiful
absolutely gorgeous! i think this is my favorite wedding look of all time:) that cake left me speechless... so simple & elegant *sigh*
wow... i'm so in love with all of the signs. I would love to get a how-to for the 'pucker up' sign and the seating sign!! This is the PERFECT inspiration for my wedding!!
WOW! I am in love with most, if not all, SMP weddings but this photo shoot takes the cake! (pun intended) This is exactly the look and feel I want for my wedding, from the color palette to the vintage furniture and the old drawers as serving trays for the deserts. I L.O.V.E. this feature! THANK YOU so much for the amazing inspiration.
And by the way, I just found the perfect antique dresser on Craigslist for $20! Whoo-hoo! I'm on a mission now.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I love the outcome of this one. It's wonderful! I think it would do well for a shower, as well.
I am in love.. with everything. Gorgeous details, and stunning photography!!!
Everything is beautiful, but (oddly) what I notice most is that she's wearing a dress with sleeves. So refreshing to see this!
Quite darling! Love her dress, his charming smile, and all the drawers chuck full of sweets!~
It's quite fun to see a kissing booth at a wedding. I love your idea!!! I also love the old wooden cabinets and the large trees in the woods, which was a beautiful backdrop by the way....making the photos look more timeless with a vintage feel to it. Great shots, great photos!!!
Yep. Love it!
this is so cute! just delightful
LOVE the poles with the ribbons--that is super creative, gives a great pop of color, and is more controlled then birdseed flying everywhere (though that definitely has its place too!). How fun!
so stinkin' cute! LOVE the kissing booth - if i wasn't already married, i would have SO copied that - and had NO SHAME! love the typography on the "please take your seat sign" too.
This is one of the sweetest shoots yet. So adorable!!
OH MY GOD!
Wonderful setting. Like the bon bons and doughnuts. Great touch!
beautifull dress, love it
love the details of this shoot - the ribbon wands, the donuts, the bon-bons, escort card chart... incredible - what an amazing and talented team that put this together!
The little metal monogram charms on the bouts are a really cute idea!
I love the colors and the swing. It beautiful. And the theme is gorgeous. Child-y!
But putting aside all those, what caught the greatest of my attention is her GOWN.
It's very beautiful. I love the design. Classy.
I've been planning to do ribbon wands for my wedding and can't seem to find the "just right" supplies... what did they use for the sticks on those ribbon wands??
OMG!! I love her dress and the design of the whole wedding is perfect!!
