It’s the end of another very pretty week here on the Little Black Book Blog. I’m sure you’ve got one foot out the door, off to your fall-filled weekend festivities. But before you grab your Pumpkin Spice latte and head to the nearest football game – or the quintessential fall wedding, if you’re lucky – I’ve got just one last little bit of beauty to get you through your weekend, and I’m thinking guarantee your timely return Monday morning –...

Is there a more romantic destination than Italy for a wedding backdrop?!?! The answer to that is a big, fat NOPE. And might we add that the scenery of Villa Catureglio mixed with the images of Rebecca of Docuvitae Photography are seriously heart-palpitating. This plays out like an ultra-romantic film complete with two scrumptious dresses and a happily ever after.

Oh dear California ranch wedding, let me count the ways in which I love you. I love the flowers, with the just-picked-from-the-field feel, courtesy of The Green Vase. I love the custom drink, brewed by the groom for his bride with adoration and love. I love the stunning locale – Thacher Winery – with it’s big, beautiful barn, and the gorgeous hilly backdrop.

If I didn’t know any better, i would think this was one of the prettiest inspiration shoots I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Honestly this couple could be models – their outfits styled to perfection(with a handmade dress might I add), hair perfectly coifed, flowers by Fox + Rabbit all fluffy and gorgeous, but no. This is real life, real love, real married couple who wanted to capture their love on camera and...

As we wind down another week packed with incredible inspiration we thought we’d step it up a notch with this cool, modern take on the bohemian wedding theme.  BLUE LOTUS put together an eclectic-meets-chic design full of unique, stylish details, bright pops of color, vintage decor and, of course, gorgeous florals.  The tillandsia rope and lantern installations are two of the coolest design elements I’ve seen in awhile...

While this wedding isn’t technically in Illinois, it IS a hop across the pond (sort of kind of) and with so many great vendors in close proximity, we thought it would be the perfect spot to showcase all the gorgeous. Plus the lovely couple is from Chicago so we’re making it count people. Photographed by K. Holly Photography, this is one of those weddings that had us at that ...

Oh I so wish I were as cute and clever as this adorable couple and had an anniversary photo shoot at a carnival, or one at all for that matter! I totally love their forties inspired outfits and and the fun and whimsical vibe. I’m not sure who had more fun at this photo shoot…the lovebirds or Gema Blanton Photography? I don’t know about you, but I’m totally inspired to snag the hubby next summer and drag him...

If anyone was feeling a case of the blues this morning they are sure to just melt away when you catch a glimpse of this cheerful, sunshine-y Scottsdale wedding by Scott Clark Photography. Who wouldn’t smile at the fun mod and 60s-inspired decor.  Somehow this adorable bride and groom managed to take a tiki-meets-mid-century modern theme, cut out the kitsch and leave in the cool.  The result is bright and chic and I love every...

It’s time to bid a fond farewell to yet another wonderful week of inspiration here on SMP Massachusetts and I can’t think of a lovelier way to send you off into the weekend than with this charming Boston affair by Katie Noble Photo.  To say this wedding is fabulous is an understatement… No, it’s all caps FABULOUS and then some, complete with a crazy cool venue (A bowling alley!), vibrant florals by...

Savannah has got to be the most gorgeous and romantic place on earth to get married. I mean seriously, just look at those amazing Spanish Moss trees. Each and every little nook of this pretty wedding is a tribute to this amazing southern city. We’re loving the straw fans and paper flowers that adorned all the place settings and of course, the bride’s gorgeous gown and perfectly coordinated bouquet. The colors are the perfect compliment to the gorgeous Savannah landscape.

How many of us grew up watching Disney movies and just waiting for our Prince Charming or Cinderella to show up at our front door and whisk us away in a pumpkin turned horse drawn carriage? I’ll be the first to admit that was my dream for the majority of my life. When I found out special couples could hold their weddings at Walt Disney World, in view of that fabulous castle, I about died. So when BinaryFlips Photography sent over...

Welcome SMPers to the quintessential New England wedding. It’s traditional, but not stuffy, casual yet elegant, and held at every New Englander’s most favorite spot: the beach! I’m loving the classic navy and yellow color palette and how absolutely adorable are the first mate and captain signs tied to the backs of their chairs with marine lines? The bride is super stunning in her gorgeous applique gown, which, I might add was totally making a huge comeback on the runways at...
