Good morning SMP-ers! Today's first wedding is quite possibly going to sky rocket to the most beloved SMP wedding of all time and we couldn't be more excited to get things started. It's a 2-parter so you might want to grab a cup of coffee and get nice and comfy for a morning of total Bahamian gorgeousness. So. We always love the work that Kristin Vining sends our way. Her photography generally leaves us totally inspired...

Along with the rest of the world, one of my very favorite blogs is The Pioneer Woman. I heart Ree big time and am a little jealous of just how chic she makes Western look. Well, the moment I laid eyes on this next little wedding...I thought that this just might be the exact wedding that Ree would plan if she was doing it all over again. Photographed by the absolutely wonderful...
Today's beautiful bride, Lindsey, has two invaluable pieces of advice that you will read below. Number one~ spring for a stellar photographer and videographer. Their contribution to the day IS invaluable. And second ~ at the very least, hire a day of- or month of- coordinator. You will count your lucky stars that you did!
Lindsey and Cade, along with his daughter Annaliese, became a family in Houston last March. They will forever be grateful to the talents and expertise of the...
This Rhode Island wedding by Steve DePino is just so put together and so full of class and sophistication that it is hard to believe it was all designed and planned by the equally as gorgeous couple. I was half convinced that I was looking at a J Crew spread instead of a real wedding! A clean and classic theme with chic black and white decor does not have to equal a completely formal or stuffy affair. Guests enjoyed comfort food...
Ok, this wedding had me the minute I read that the bride's mother made her wedding dress. Yes...Made. Her. Wedding. Dress. And it's not hard to see why I was immediately in awe. But the DIY doesn't stop there, no sir. The bride created the bouquet, boutonniere, bridesmaids bouquets, handmade paper flowers and paper birds for the table arrangements, and floral around the cake. She is my hero today, as is Duston of Duston Todd Photography for...
It is a given that along with weddings and dresses and cakes, we also happen to positively adore jewelry...especially lovely engagement rings. And Ken + Dana Design have our number. They are the creators of some of the most GORGEOUS pieces we've ever laid eyes on. Delicate, unique and all around elegant, their pieces are the perfect way to say I Do. They have ever so graciously stopped by today to offer up an AMAZING giveaway for one...

Good morning lovelies. It is time to rise and shine and delve into a little French inspiration that is equal parts breath taking and le swoonable ... just how we like it. Corbin Gurkin, one of our absolute favorite photographers, was the woman behind the gorgeous images. She teamed up with some fantabulous vendors to create an ode to Paris including Ceci New York who whipped up...

It is an absolute given that each and every one of us at Style Me Pretty is totally obsessed with weddings. We love them, can't get enough of them and yes, some of us even dream about them from time to time. It sort of comes with the territory and we definitely aren't complaining! But another thing that we are equally enamored with but rarely discuss is all of the fabulous cakes and goodies that these weddings are boasting. We go bananas for a well dressed confectionery treat and this week...

We all love a good Napa Valley wedding when we see one. But take a look at these next extra adorable cutie pies who threw a wine country wedding...their own way. Aren't they adorable? They are so totally and madly in love, it's hard not to go all mushy gushy inside. Add to that the romantic rustic decor and the handcrafted details captured by Marin Kristine Photography...and it's smitten central. Oh and the Coldstone Creamery...
Sometimes, it's the totally handmade affairs that completely steal our hearts. The weddings where you can see all of the love, all of the fun, all of the passion that went into crafting each and every detail. Such is the case with this next little number, photographed by one of our favorites, Julie Mikos. With a couple pairs of scissors, a hot glue gun and a teeny tiny budget, this bride and groom designed a wedding that has made me...
I almost feel like I should start this post with "Once Upon a Time" because this lovely wedding venue looks like it is straight out of a fairy tale, and the wedding was just as dreamy. Each and every touch came together to create a finished product that looked so seamless it was as though the TableArt talents waved their magic detail wands. John and Kim of...
It is official. It's Friday, the weekend is almost here and we are neck deep behind the scenes in tons of wedding eye candy to share. That is cause for celebration don't you think? So lets kick off a merry ending to the week with this sweet Georgia wedding that combines a touch of whimsy with a sprinkle of modern and some lemony zest for good measure. Yellow makes everything better in our opinion, especially when it is captured so beautifully by ...

Every now and then, we see a wedding that makes us blush. The kind of blushing you do when you just know that it was so incredibly romantic...so overflowing with total love. And blushing is exactly what we did when we spotted this next little beauty. Held at the absolutely enchanting Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, this wedding will easily make you fall in love all over again and just might make you rethink all of your wedding decisions thus...
Riding boots, pheasant feathers, sweet potato whoopie pies... I am pretty sure I've died and gone to wedding inspiration heaven and I have The Stylish Soiree and Studio 28 Photo to thank for it. You see, if I had my way every single thing I encounter would be decked out in feathers. I love them that much. But these ladies took my obsession to a whole new level, creating a...
In a word, this beautiful wedding by Kate Whelan Events is whimsical. The special affair was hosted at a family friend's home which allowed them to completely make the wedding their own. Kate Whelan created a perfectly orchestrated event from the paper to the decor, and helped to bring this wedding together in five months to insure the bride's father could walk her down the aisle. There is truly no detail more special. To see even...
