For those of you that don’t already know about Grapevine…I’m here to shed some really pretty light. Karen Bartolomei, the talent behind the brand, is one of THE best designers that I’ve ever met, with an incredible sense of style that is completely unique to this industry. Her invitations are kind of beloved by some of the world’s most well known event designers and it’s easy to see why. Every...

Earlier today we showed you a few photographs from Yvette and Lou’s stunning wedding at The Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. The exquisite day was captured by two of our favorite LBB members, Woodward + Rick Photographers. And then, we were delighted to learn that...

Just one last post from Vy’s gorgeous DIY wedding. Check out the vintage inspired table numbers and different quotes tied to each napkin. This is the PERFECT way to get guests interacting at the dinner tables, by the way. I can just envision guests walking around the room trying to see what each person’s napkin says. My personal favorite is the quote from Homer Simpson, “Can’t Talk…Eating.” I can so relate! Oh, and the bamboo plates and silverware are just...

Okay, now on to some of the insane details. I love, love, love every little thing about this wedding. From the vintage typewriter to the funky programs, to the completely understated but utterly sweet, fresh ring of lavender that the couple stood in while saying their vows. Oh, and please, please, check out the seating chart. So charming…

Lace wrapped vases and hand crafted candies in beautiful paper? Yes, please…Oh, and how about those heart shaped...

When Amy and Stuart first sent Vy and Michael’s wedding my way, I have to admit, I thought, “talented brides like Vy make wedding designers like myself obsolete.” I know that may sound extreme, but it’s kind of true. And yet when I saw this perfect DIY affair really unfold, I couldn’t contain myself. It’s just so ridiculously gorgeous, so totally thoughtful, I couldn’t help but fall in love.

It’s not really REAL until you have THE shoes! Right?

It’s Valentine’s Day! Which to a wedding blogger means that it’s a day of total gorgeousness and unabashed romance. Not necessarily of the pink and red variety. When we laid eyes on this insanely gorgeous wedding, photographed by Elizabeth Messina, designed by Lisa Vorce and with florals by Mindy Rice, well.

We’ve had quite a week around Style Me Pretty, beautiful features, talented vendors, glorious giveaways, and exciting new partnerships. We’re on a roll and we want to share the love. So, we’re taking a little time out to welcome our newest advertisers on the scene. But these aren’t just any advertisers! These are fabulous companies (big and small) that we stand behind and...

Just another day or so until Valentine’s Day ~ one more day that our family has a legitimate excuse to consume way too much chocolate, decorate a holiday mantle one last time (until next Christmas rolls around) … and to throw around a whole lot of “I Love You’s!”  To help us kick off Valentine’s weekend are the dynamic Little Black Book duo of...

If there is one thing that every girl wants on Valentine’s Day…it’s Chanel. Bottom line. So when I saw this FABULOUS Chanel inspired shoot that Yelena at The Stylish Soiree put together, well, I swooned.

The concept behind this shoot was to take the trends, fabrics and themes showcased in the Chanel Spring 2010 Ready to Wear runway show and translate...

Hello lovelies, Erin here from Erin Ever After and I come today bearing Valentine’s Day inspired gifts — and a confession. I am an avid reader of Twilight. There, I said it. Now only thousands of people know my little secret. But even if you aren’t a fan of the vampire series and have no idea who Edward and Bella are, I promise you this tablescape is sure to delight. Plus, what could be more perfect for...

If it seems you can’t escape the Valentine’s Day hoopla…you’re right. So, rather than fight it, I thought we could just embrace this silly holiday (which I love nonetheless) and provide some super adorable, totally wedding applicable V Day inspiration. We have a full day of cuteness here on SMP and even if you aren’t planning a wedding, you’re sure to find some serious eye candy.

Next up, how stinking cute is this shoot that Beka at...

My girlfriend wrote the most charming, totally well written Valentine’s Day guide the other day and it made me realize something. I AM a total sucker for this over commercialized, often times completely cheesy holiday. I love it actually. The pinks, the reds, the total girliness of the day. It’s so up my ally. So today, I...
