What is it about the desert? The light? The sense of time slowing down? Gorgeous, natural surroundings? Really amazing sunsets? I think it might be ALL of the above and what better spot for an intimate wedding. Total perfection if you ask me and these desert festivities were completely DIY from start to finish minus the amazing photography by Kurt Boomer of course. His images have completely rocked my world one amazing succulent...
When I was younger, Anne of Green Gables was my ultimate hero. At a very young age, I would have probably up and run away to Prince Edward Island if that meant I could meet her and her beau – the dreamy Gilbert Blythe – and live next to the Lake of Shining Waters. To me, that little island was just full of magic. I feel that little piece of background is needed before I enter a full on gush fest for this bey-ond perfect PEI photo shoot designed by Cheryl of...
Oh, how I adore a Southern California wedding. Sunny skies and gorgeous outdoor settings get me every single time. And today, I have fallen head over heels in love with this Rancho Santa Fe beauty. And who could blame me? One look at the exquisite floral design by Isari Flower Studio and I didn’t even have a chance. I want to literally fill my house with every last centerpiece and simply bask in the romance of it...
Oh my goodness, this Dominican Republic wedding just calls to me. I can hear the waves crashing on the shore and the wind softly blowing through the palm trees. I can smell all the fragrant red flowers and I can feel the love. It seems to be pretty stinkin’ perfect. Anyone else packing their bags, ready to join me? Michelle Turner Photography is the genius behind the images of this stunning beach wedding. She was able to take...
Okay. It’s true. If I could have a wedding day do-over it would most certainly have to be in Napa Valley. I’m totally convinced there is no location more timeless and elegant as Napa. And this gorgeous wedding, designed by the geniuses at Laurie Arons Special Events and photographed by the equally talented Meg Smith is certainly no exception to that rule. First of all...
I am so in love with today’s feature I just don’t know where to start. I knew Ron Ben-Israel Cakes was the bee’s knees of wedding cakes, but after getting to know him and the seriously amazing Rebecca (who proudly owns the title Operations, etc.) I have a full-on cake crush on everything they touch. The talent in this studio is something I’ll never...
I used to think that the expression about rain on your wedding day being lucky was a myth. That was until I saw these photos by Kallima Photography. This adorable couple lucked out in two ways. First, they got amazing pre-wedding shots with those adorable clear umbrellas under the cloudy sky that just make the wildflower bouquets and Anthropologie bridesmaid dresses pop and, second, the sky cleared at just the right...
When I spotted this wedding for the first time, I thought it was stunning. Beyond stunning. One of those weddings that takes it a step further from the traditional rustic fare and is infused with so many thoughtful, gorgeous details. And then I saw the dream team behind this day and it all made sense. The ladies of Bash, Please have completely out done themselves with this gem and its rustic meets organic inspired design. And who better...
While diligently researching countries to visit for my next vacation with the huz this little gem of a wedding came knocking on my door, reminding me to keep Spain in the running. It’s just one of those places that is so beautiful, even the photographs seem happier, prettier, and the sun just shines differently there. Or maybe it’s the incredible talent of Browns Photography. Either way, it’s the perfect...
Here’s a little math equation for your afternoon. What do you get when you take one fun couple + a cake from THE Cake Boss + the Jersey Shore + Turn Loose The Art‘s amazing photographs? Answer: this awesome New Jersey wedding. Yes, the couple really just wanted to have a blast, the cake really was from...
Who knew pink + lavender could be such a smashing combo? And set against the backdrop of the Metropolitan Building with it’s exposed brick and perfectly peeling walls, this styled shoot is fast becoming our favorite and is positively brimming with fabulous details for you to infuse into your own big day. Perhaps it’s the lavender dress that you take away from this (we’re dying over that number), the single...
So it’s no secret that around here at SMP, we love ourselves a good wedding. And we love fashion. Combine the two and mix it around with a little by-invitation-only access to crazy-amazing sales, and you get yourself Rue La La’s STYLE. I Do! Unveil Your Style wedding boutique which is being curated by The Knot.
Oh wow. This wedding is spectacular. I have been in a constant state of awe since the moment I laid my eyes on these glorious, seriously tear-inducing images by Alyse French Photography. I don’t know what I am more in love with… the breathtaking 120-year-old church in downtown Houston, that gorgeous, gorgeous gown or the whoopie pie and champagne reception. Oh, and then there’s all of the fabulous DIY...
There is some mind-blowing style coming out of this Rancho Las Lomas wedding by Elysium Productions and Sargeant Photography! We have never seen rustic vintage done quite like this and the result is breathtaking. The eye candy just doesn’t quit from the ceremony, with jaw-dropping cascades of flowers, to the dance party in the adorable Blue Note Lounge.
Some of us might dream of having an intimate wedding among the rolling hills of Ireland and some of us might dream of celebrating on the cobblestone streets of France. Few of us would ever even imagine that both could be possible but that was the case for this lucky couple. We featured this sweet duo’s nuptials in their hometown of Cork, Ireland back in April and now we get...
