We have a little secret to share and believe us when we tell you it was so very hard not to spill the beans. We have been hard at work over the last few months poring through all of the gorgeous weddings that have graced our pages this past year and picking the best of the best to showcase in the first ever Style Me Pretty Digital Magazine. This e-glossy is jam packed with TWENTY of the most style-savvy weddings of 2010 picked by you, the readers. These lovelies received the most comments, the most tweets, the most ohhs and ahhs and maybe even caused a few complete wedding redos because they are just that gorgeous.
For your viewing pleasure…we recommend reading this pretty mag in the full screen option
On top of that, we have compiled buying guides for several of these weddings giving you resources for a ton of steal-worthy details right at your fingertips. And no SMP magazine would be complete without a round-up of the best vendors in the business so we’ve also included a guide to our favorite Little Black Book Members.
And there you have it. Our virtual cat is out of the bag and we are beyond thrilled to share the result… a collection of some of the best weddings, the most gorgeous details, fabulous buying guides and our favorite vendors all wrapped up in one pretty package. We hope that you love our first e-glossy as much as we’ve loved putting it together but we also hope that you’ll find as much inspiration and ideas on these pages as you do every day on SMP.
We also wanted to give a huge, huge THANK YOU to all of the people that made this happen – especially Viola of Chewing the Cud and our very own Elaine. We couldn’t have done this without you all! xoxo

Oh my goodness! This is so lovely! You should think of getting this thing published...I'd be ripping those pages out like crazy to add to my inspiration boxes! SMP is awesome, keep it up!
No. Way. I wouldn't expect anything less from the Style Me Pretty team! Great job ladies + Tait!
Congrats on this accomplishment! A natural evolution in the loveliness that is SMP. It might be un-PC of me, but this would be amazing and successful as an old-fashioned paper and ink magazine. Just sayin'!

Congratulations! Such a beautiful magazine! Amazing round up of the very best we saw in 2010!! Already wanting to see the next issue!!
AH-MAZING! I loved reliving the ooh-ahh moments from some of my top favs!
One word to sum this up and it is a word I'm known to use when I cannot find anything else to say...BANANAS! You have made every e-zine, every e-glossy, step up their game! I am not just saying this for kudos or because I want you to "notice" me...I'm saying this because it is the truth. I am always searching for the lovely...and you smacked me with it this AM {west Coast}. I am not easily impressed SMP but I am over the moon impressed with this e-glossy... simply BANANAS! Congratulations.
So many lovely, inspirational, pretty details to look at. There's something for every bride to dream about!
Is there anyway to get this thing printed out?!?! I love it.. I WANT A HARD COPY!! Hehe :)

Beautiful! So so pretty! So many smiles!
Congrats SMP! It's B-eautiful! I have a feeling I'll be flipping through this several hundred times! Thank you!
Wow, so refreshing and beautiful. If it was in print, it would be one of the most beautiful magazines out there. I have California envy right now because almost every wedding was in CA. I wish you could have such beautiful weather in the East Coast.
Wow! Absolutely stunning! Every single page is amazing! Great job!! Congrats to all my favorite photographers!
I already love it and I haven't even looked at anything but the cover!! I can't wait to go home so I can check out every single page! YAY! :)
Sooooo lovely! Yes, I agree that you should definitely have this printed!!!! Congrats!
PERFECT! Wish this was available when we started planning last year - SO much better than the mags out there and wicked easy to navigate! Well done!!!!
I love this! Going to look at it for the second time :)
This is beautiful! Congrats!
I'm just speechless...oh my!
LOVE the new magazine!!
Absolutely STUNNING! I am new to SMP and this caught me up with all that is lovely about your site in no time! Far more inspiring and "user friendly" than anything else out there:)
ahhhhhh!!!!! lots of warmness oozing outta my heart right now... this was the fabbest wedding mag ive ever seen!!! you guys are class!!! please bring out another one soon.. do one each month!!! i love love LOVE!!x
Amazing idea, great to see the best weddings of the year. Love it.
I love it, I love it, I love it!! I have been trying to compile all of my fav. details from your site for my wedding and you have done it for me!! Amazing!
To die for gorgeous! Beautiful weddings and you guys just did an AMAZING job with the layout and style of the magazine itself...congrats!!
This is so exciting! It's so fun to see SMP in a traditional magazine layout. Congratulations!
gosh so pretty! every wedding is TO DIE FOR. I want a print copy of it so I can look at this magazine over and over!!
So beautiful! I absolutely love the new magazine. I would also love to get my hands on a hard copy. I'm always using this site for inspiration and having a hard copy of the beautiful pictures to show vendors would be so great. I would love to find out about the menus photographed on pg. 106 and 107. I'm in love with them and definitely want to replicate that for my wedding. Would anyone happen to know what type of paper that menu was made from? I was thinking vellum, but I'm not sure. Any guidance would be so appreciated. Thanks so much for all that you do at Style Me Pretty! :)
It *is* a lovely collection of pretty weddings, however, I am saddened by the lack of ethnicity in the e-zine. No African-Americans brides or grooms pictured at all. Not even in the adverts! And no same-sex weddings either.
It's a big, wide, colorful, cultural and eve-changing wedding world out there these days... disappointing to see that's not represented in SMP's newest venture.
Congratulations!!!! It looks absolutely amazing! So happy that one of our weddings made your Top 20!
Jessica - those menus are to die for, and they were actually printed on transparency paper! I remember reading about it months ago and thinking that was the coolest thing of all time :-) You can read about how they designed them in this post: http://www.stylemepretty.com/2010/07/06/from-inspiration-to-wedding-the-design/
Great Magazine SMP, I vote for a hard copy as well!!!
This is simply stunning!
W.O.W. I mean seriously. Possibly the most delicious 30 minutes of my life spent looking at those stunning weddigns. Such a fantastic job with the layout as well ladies. LOVE it.
xo, Ara
I'm going gaga over this...absolutely AMAZING!
well...that was good secret keeping!!! Totally shocked and honored to see some of my work here. Thank you Abby and the SMP family for giving us a lovely platform to be viewed upon.
Such a great surprise!
LOVE the layout of the magazine! But wow, seeing them all back to back kind of makes you realize how mono-stylistic they mostly are, huh? Really interesting to see that people have really affirmed a certain taste and style!
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing. It belongs on the shelf in a store for people to buy-AHmazing ;)
This is just amazing!! I loved every minute I spent looking at these weddings, most of which I had already seen and loved looking at all over again!
congrats ladies! this is great!!!!!
I'm so honored to be included ! thanks SMP!
I WANT A HARD COPY ASAP :) So beautiful and so exciting to see. I will be the first to buy it if SMP decides to publish it! This is definetly going into the Favorites category!!!
Congratulations! About to dig in instead of going to sleep! Hooray....
gorgeous photos!! love the layout and the functionality of the ezine. you continue to inspire me smp!
Yay SMP ladies! You rock. It was such a pleasure and so much fun to work together on this one. Congratulations!
Que magnifico trabalho. Amo tudo que voces fazem é muito especial e inspirador . Parabens a todos da Style Me Pretty. E continuo aqui seguindo o belo trabalho e ficando cada vez mais surpresa. Auguri
Lovely!
Agree with the above posters when I say that you should think about publishing - let me know if you need any UK tips or insight!

I absolutely LOVE the magazine! And my favorite wedding is on the cover :)
Secrets don't make friends, but heck this secret is an exception. What a beautiful, flawless piece of work. Let's make it a coffee table book :-)
There is only one word....AMAZING!!!! Would so buy a hard copy if ever made available. Thanks for sharing.
I love it. You should do a published version of it!!!!
This is the most lovely wedding compilation I have ever laid eyes on.
Where in the world did the bride on the cover get that dress? This was the main thing I was looking for when drooling thru the mag, and no answer.
Thanks!
Congratulations SMP team, I can well imagine how much hard work it was to put this together and will very much enjoy reading it over a coffee later - Wedding porn and beautifully executed as always!
xoxo
So fantastic to have a digital magazine of Style Me Pretty. Life seems complete somehow!!

Gorgeous work SMP! So honored to be part of the SMP family as a Little Black Book Member. Can't wait to see this in print!
Hmm. Is it bad I seem to be printing every page? Oops.
Wow. This magazine is A-MAZING and I would purchase a hard copy in a nano second. I too second the motion though about the lack of diversity. *sigh* But soo, soo, soo beautiful.
Looks amazing! Congratz!
AHHHH! is all I can say.....Such an amazing compilation. I am so blown away and honored to be a part of it! Thank you guys sooo much!
lms, I agree. The weddings were beautiful, but they were all soooo similar. Lots of pastel weddings with lanterns and chandeliers and lush flowers featuring traditionally pretty brides and handsome grooms.
I guess I wish the editors had picked out a variety of weddings to feature - some more modern, some more color, some with a wider profile of the bride and groom. It would have made for a more interesting read, but I guess that isn't the SMP aesthetic.
Hey guys!! Thank you for all of the comments...we are SOOOOO relieved and thrilled that you love it as much as we do. As for diversity, the weddings were all chosen by our readers (not the editors) so we stayed true to that formula. We are looking at doing another mag with all unique content and we promise to introduce far more diversity.
I think the thing that I love about the weddings is that although there are similar elements in each of them, they each speak to the personality of the bride and groom. From that awesome parking garage wedding to the DIY affairs, every wedding had a bit of spunk tucked perfectly inside.
Thank you again for ALL of the comments and praise...it has blown us away, more than we could ever say!!!
Congratulations! Can't wait to work with you in the future :)
Absolutely gorgeous! Congrats to the SMP team! This could be a real magazine, on the newstands... so relevant and so pretty.
Congratulations! Also we're proud to say that chewingthecud, an Etsy Wedding Divas member, have a special participation.
Truly an inspiration!
I want to be able to download this onto my iPad, is that possible? Zino, SMP, get together with them, and you can just have a digital download! LOVE IT!
ONG...lovely indeed...congratulations
Congratulations! Great job. Can't wait to see the next issue!
