Can you believe it’s Friday? Maybe it was all the pretty we packed into this week that made it fly by. Of course, each week here at SMP is full of lovelies but the past few days have just brought the pretty to a whole new level of breathtaking! Next week we’ll bring you an equally awesome dose plus some extra special goodies that you won’t want to miss! We are so excited for the premier of the always stylish Rue La La’s one stop wedding shop - STYLE. I Do! Unveil Your Style – where you can find everything you’ll need for the big day and beyond plus a load of inspiration! Make sure you visit us next Wednesday to get the exclusive invite just for SMP readers! But for now, we’ll send you off with a sweet and sentimental anniversary shoot by Jesse Holland Photography + Rook and Rose Floral Design Boutique. Part of the fun of marriage is being able to grow old with your sweetheart and, like the couple says below, the love just gets better with age. What a joy to see these two so full of life, love and happiness after 55 years! Check out even more from this adorable anniversary picnic in the full gallery!
