Your besties have been there since the moment the bling landed on your little finger. They’ve listened to you go on and on for countless hours about your flowers, your dress, your venue, your centerpieces, your shoes…They’ve thrown you a gorgeous bridal shower and even taken you away on an amazing girl’s weekend for your bachelorette party! So let’s face it, you owe them big time! And what’s a better way to thank them than with a super cool silver, leather...

There is just something so wonderful about these Fiji nuptials that I could seriously gaze at these stunning images from Jel Photography all day long.  It may have something to do with the jaw-dropping location (un.real) or the bride’s amazing gown (her own design) or the feeling of pure happiness radiating from every single photo.  I suspect that it’s a combination of all of the above, and more, that has left me feeling...

I’ve developed a serious cake crush on the frosted beauty in this Georgetown wedding.  The perfect confectionary centerpiece to go along with this sweetly styled day by Sweet Sunday Events.  It is almost too pretty to eat…almost!  Actually, I’m quite partial to the whole event!  It is just one of those charming, intimate, down-home style affairs that are so full of character and a whole lot of love.  ...

So often we get caught up in the pretty florals, or the gorgeous venue, or the bridesmaids, sweetly dressed and lined up in a row. And believe me, here at SMP, those little details are what get our hearts racing faster than a third cup of coffee. But this wedding, photographed by Hannah Photography, is more than just the beyond amazing design – from one of our favorites...

We are welcoming Tuesday morning with a sea of pretty captured to sheer perfection by Desi Baytan Photography plus gorgeous design and styling by Platinum Lining Events. If this isn’t a great start to the day then I don’t know what is. And just when I thought the florals couldn’t possibly get any better, another gorgeous arrangement or lovely little boutonniere...

Let’s face it, our ladies do so much for us leading up to and on the wedding day that being a bridesmaid can almost be like having a part-time job!  Of course, they love us which is why they put up with our hysterical phone calls at 2am, shove cake into our hands when we forget to eat and are all around an awesome support system.  Bridesmaids’ should be given a medal for everything they do or at least a fun gift.  When that gift can double as wedding attire even better!  I...

There is a lot I love about weddings, I think that is obvious. A good dress makes me gush, stationery makes me swoon and overflowing florals make my heart flutter – just to name a few. What I love most of all is when the details in a wedding 100% reflect the personalities of the couple, and I feel like this lovely fête captured by NYLA Photography has the darling duo written all over it. All the pops of reds and polka dots make...

It is kind of hard to follow a number like today’s Smog Shoppe wedding that we’ve been eating up all afternoon so instead we are going to join in the festivities with a buying guide packed with quirky trinkets, gorgeous fashion and a sea of blushing pinks. This is barely scratching the surface of all the fabulousness held within that wedding’s walls but with...

I think Jesi Haack Design deserves a standing ovation for this little Smog Shoppe number. No quirky (albeit completely amazing) stone was left unturned and the dress? All kinds of BANANAS. With so many unexpected details, it’s rather hard to pick a favorite but if we had to choose, it might just be the feather boa dessert table filled with lovely looking treats from ...

For a self-proclaimed winter wedding lover, there is nothing better than opening an email to see pictures of hot chocolate, snowflake covered cake, and seemingly frost covered flowers. It was a win-win-win from the beginning – destined to be amazing. Floral design by Flora Nova Design. Food and locale by Sodo Park by Herban Feast. And winter in Washington...

So each and every morning, while sipping on my coffee, I make sure to check out all the fabulous weddings that are happening on our local blogs. (By the way, I highly recommend you do the same as there is absolutely no better way to start your day than with an SMP wedding tour.) And on this particular morning, I just so happened to stumble upon this gorgeous little diddy on...

This is a wedding to make all Texans proud, especially if you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan, and let’s face it, if you’re in Texas, that’s your team! This is the fairytale wedding of the Cowboy’s backup quarterback and his pretty-as-can-be bride who just so happened to design her own wedding dress. How’s that for talented? There to capture all the details of this elegant day was Spink Studio who put it...

As soon as these gorgeous photos from Jenny DeMarco came in I couldn’t wait to get my little blogger hands on them! This wedding is the ultimate epitome of Texas casual elegance. I’m head over heels for the succulent seat assignments, the groomsmen’s green plaid bow ties and of course, the amazing floral displays filled with white dahlias and burgundy ranunculus. Hello gorgeous!

Hello romance!  I must admit I quite lost myself in this next wedding by Abi Q Photography but how could you not with such a dreamy palette of soft blue, blush and cream, crystal vases and the perfect combination of classic and beachy.  All cast in that exquisite Southern California light that can make any event as enchanting as a fairytale.  This is beach-side chic done oh-so right and I have no intention of finding my way out...
