Meet Andrea. She is the voice behind Gwyneth Paige and is the newest SMP writer. And she is so freaking cute. I want to blab on and on about her but since she has SUCH a pretty wedding to share with you today, I’ll let her take the reigns.

It took me a while to get my first sentence out as all I could type was “Oh my gosh I am blogging for Style Me Pretty–right now! Ahhhhhh!” Seriously, I typed that exact sentence about three times before moving on to writing about the most beautiful Michigan beach wedding EVER. This particular wedding has a definite hold on my heart strings. It’s not just the vintage jewelry (but how I love that hair piece), that incredible orange tie, or the stunning embroidery on Stephanie’s wedding dress. It’s because this was the first wedding my letterpress wedding invitation company, Gwyneth Paige, printed the paper goods for. You have to start somewhere right? I digress… without further ado, Stephanie & Ken’s wedding at the beach.

I love this wedding! What a beautiful walk down to the ceremony and that dress is sooooo sweet...
I adore the hairpiece and would love to know where it came from.
Exquisite!
Stunning! Where are her wedding shoes from? I LOVE them!!

What a beautiful wedding! Jen did a fantastic job capturing it! And I LOVE the flowers, so pretty!
So innocent and charming. I like it!
I love her shoes... where are they from?
The shoes are Stuart Weitzman and the hairpiece came from Kleinfelds. Thanks for your kind words Amanda! Congrats to Andrea on her first of many posts for Style Me Pretty!!
I heart this wedding! :)
I can tell that this is a Lake Michigan wedding, but that's quite a large bit of land! Do we know where exactly this was held? I'm currently scouting locations, and this one is gorgeous. Thanks!
Hi Leyna;
Unfortunately, this was a private residence and not available for public use. It was the bride's parents summer cottage.

the only thing missing are the Mens shoes or was it girls only
No! We had men's too. Just the photo wasn't quite as sweet as the girls shoes. :)
Great pictures! Where is the cute purse/bag from?
Hi Laura! That uber cute tote bag is from http://www.handbagsbyjen.com/ (Handbag by Jen). A wonderful WAHM. I personally think they would be great bridemaid's gifts. I know I would squeal. :)
Thanks so much for including my calligraphy here!!! This wedding turned out sooooo beautiful! Jodi yet another fabulous event!
Andrea--such a cute wedding! Glad your are writing on SMP ;)
I bought bags from http://www.handbagsbyjen.com (who also happens to be my aunt!) for my sisters/bridesmaids, readers, singer, good friends, etc. for my wedding. They were stunning!
The photography is just wonderful and such a beautiful day!
Thank you Betsy! I am beyond excited to be here!!
Breezy, beautiful and serene. I just love this wedding! I can see and almost hear the sea grass blowing. Amazing!
Andrea!!! Congratulations! I know I tell you this a lot... You rock!
Hats Off! I can't wait to read more from you!!!
Michelle, without a doubt, you always make me feel like I'm on top of the world! xoxoxo
Thanks for the kind words about the bridesmaid bags. They are really fun to do. Each bag is customized to match the colors and style of the wedding. The bag shown is an exclusive design for In Any Event, but I work with each bride to design a bag she loves. My website is in the process of being updated with my most recent custom work. Check back in the coming weeks.

Andrea - Congrats on writing for SMP!!!! Great work!
Great pictures! I'm wondering where that incredible tie came from. I'm planning to wear a gray suit for my wedding in october and think that tie would look great. Thanks!!
I adore this wedding! I am getting married on Lake Michigan next summer and am so going to use the wonderful idea for making a sign for "Girls Shoes" and "Boys Shoes" especially since I plan on providing my guests with flip-flops.
