The Ivy Room at Tree Studios Wedding by Amanda Hein Photography

August 15th. 2011 by Dawn | 5 comments

I can’t imagine it’s possible to love these Chicago nuptials any more than I already do.  With the breathtaking urban garden setting of The Ivy Room at Tree Studios, all of the vibrant yellow blooms by Scarlet Petal (including one of my faves, tulips) and a magical candlelit reception, I think the more appropriate term would be “completely enamored.

French Ballet Inspired Photo Shoot by Sara Donaldson

August 15th. 2011 by Aimée | 22 comments

This is the perfect inspiration for anyone who loves the ballet or all things girl-y and feminine. The perfect mix of music and movement, I’m loving all the details including the vintage looking music sheets wrapped into a cone, holding petals for the adorable flower girls festooned with baby’s breath crowns and tutus. Captured by Sara Donaldson and designed by...

The White Elephant Hotel Wedding by Davina + Daniel

August 15th. 2011 by A. Blaire | 1 comment

I can say with certainty that I never, ever tire of poring over images from a Nantucket fête. Pretty pictures from the Grey Lady just never get old. I have an inkling that the rest of you are on board with me too, particular when those gorgeous images are from Davina + Daniel. It doesn’t hurt when the couple tying the knot are as handsome as they come, making the Grey Lady look even more ravishing. Want to see more?

The Gasparilla Inn Golf Club Wedding by K and K Photography, LLC

August 15th. 2011 by A. Blaire | 8 comments

It’s raining cats and dogs this Monday morning, so a Boca Grande beauty by K and K Photography seems to be the perfect way to get lost for the day. It’s 100% beach chic, with it’s fabulous color palette, gorgeous bride and groom, and perfect seaside setting. Not to mention the bride’s engagement ring literally knocked my socks right off my feet. Although I guess being sock-less is a good thing for getting...

Hartford Wedding Vow Renewal from Vintage Cinema

August 13th. 2011 by Mallory | 24 comments

Before I let you get too far into this post, I feel the need to warn you to wait until you have more than a few minutes to devote to SMP this morning. Why? Because you will want to watch this video at least three times, or honestly, probably closer to ten or twelve. It’s maybe the coolest wedding video I’ve ever seen. Vintage Cinema sent it our way, and I have watched it an embarrassing amount of times. The video features...

Wrap It Up Pretty + A Winner

August 12th. 2011 by Aimée | 15 comments

It’s been such a pretty week here at SMP, so much so that we’re not quite ready to pack up and leave for the weekend just yet, so we figured we’d keep the pretty train rolling right through your Friday night with this sweet little lakeside photo shoot by Callie V Photography.

Wilmington Wedding by Jacobus Photography

August 12th. 2011 by A. Blaire | 15 comments

I do believe this seaside chic soiree by Jacobus Photography is what dreams are made of. Specifically, my dreams. Bursting at the seams with blush hues, my new favorite hue mind you, and vintage southern touches – I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone whose dreams weren’t made of this wedding. You have the entire weekend to soak up each and every image in...

Philadelphia Army Wedding from Proud to Plan

August 12th. 2011 by Mallory | 14 comments

As someone who tied the knot on the third of July, I can attest to the level of difficulty concerning an sweet, Americana wedding with a tasteful smattering of red, white, and blue. So often, it can come out not quite right – too over-the-top patriotic, so understated that the nuptials no longer read good old U S of A. With the help of Proud to Plan, this couple NAILED it. The whole affair was chic, classic, and had just enough...
