Wrap It Up Pretty

This week has been such an amazing start to the New Year. Not only did we kick off 2011 with a bang in the form of some really gorgeous weddings but we also got to reveal the first ever SMP Magazine. Yep, a pretty big week indeed. I believe we are all still reeling with excitement over the wonderful reception of our little E-Glossy. Thank you so, so much for all of the sweet comments, emails, tweets, etc. Every single one meant the world to us! And of course, we are already starting to think about the next magazine and would love to know what you, the READERS, are dying to see in the next issue. Are you perfectly content with weddings galore or maybe you fancy some fun DIY projects? Our ears are open and we would love to hear your ideas so fire away!

Enjoy these pretty posts and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!

   I would love some creative DIY projects (for a wedding) in the next magazine. Please continue to provide links on the different items. That was really helpful. It would also be nice highlight a wedding on a budget, and show some of the ways the bride was able to save money. In this economy, I know a lot of brides (including myself) are trying to make our budgets go as far as possible. Thanks for providing great inspiration!

   I second the request for DYI projects! Not only can we save money on such projects but they give us more of an opportunity to let our personality shine through since it can be so personalized when you're making it. And I would love to see beautiful, budget friendly weddings, too. With a little creativity you can do so much on a smaller budget!

   I am so excited about your new magazine. I love seeing all of the themes. It would be wonderful to have a DIY themes and include tips about how to keep that theme throughout the entire wedding. Also, how should one come up with a theme that describes them. I had a bride that wanted a cute themed wedding but she didn't want to steal someone else's idea but she had a hard time coming up with her own. What would be great tips or questions someone should ask themselves when trying to create a themed wedding. Thank you!

   Hi SMP!

   Any input into where the covergirl bride got her gorgeous earrings from? Help would be much appreciated by this future bride :)

    would love to see a couple of categories in the next mag to ensure they aren't all outside/california weddings - maybe a "ballroom" category to ensure that there is at least one gorgeous ballroom/church wedding represented?

    Lovely! I would love to see unique DIY projects and more DIY weddings. I agree with KC Wedding Photographers- more info on incorporating a theme throughout the wedding (from the save the dates to table settings) would be helpful!

    I thought the magazine was just perfect. There seems so much info about DIY out there perhaps you could do a DIY separate issue. I loved the way it flowed and enjoyed it cover to cover. Cant wait for the printed version.
    Beautiful work.
    I luv luv luv it

    I agree; it was lovely!

    DIY weddings would be so wonderful to see!!! SMP inspires brides and planners with ordinary ideas to to turn up the pretty on those ideas and create something lovely. I think that it inspires people to step outside of their comfort level and do something innovative, exciting and different. To me, that is what makes style me pretty such a success! It inspires brides to create a day that is truly a reflection of their relationship with their significant other and that is gorgeous. I loved seeing all of the soft and demure/classic weddings in this E-glossy (gorg!)

    I would love to see some weddings that use bright colors without reservation. I would love to see venues that are not traditional. I would love to see brides that did it without a planner. Can't wait for the next issue!

    Congratz on the mag! I would love to see lots more DIY projects, maybe an article on wedding songs (like what's out there now for each theme) & i guess more on real weddings (specially where to get what for less). ♥
