I am just swooning over this engagement session by Bella Chic Photography.  It doesn’t get much more adorable than a vintage picnic for two complete with balloons.  Plus I’m secretly coveting this bride-to-be’s outfit.  This is such a simple and sweet way to dress up an engagement shoot and have a little bit of fun while you’re at it.  ...

It’s Saturday LBBers! And you know what that means – time for a little wedding film eye candy. Classic Pixels Films sent this one our way from Louisville – and it features the wedding of two adorable lovebirds. They had been together for nine years by the time he dropped to one knee, so the lovely bride had a long list of DIY projects to create the perfect wedding. That she did – and it was captured by Classic...

Ryan Ray and his gorgeous film photography are our Friday heroes. And how could they not be when you can literally see and feel the love oozing out of each and every image?

From the moment I opened this Charleston wedding, I have not been able to stop soaking up every romantic, classic detail. It was the Monique Lhuillier dress that drew me in. That luxe, gorgeous dress. I quickly fell in love with the grounds of Middleton Place, and was enamored by the sword ceremony – and the sense of history it added to the special day. Every...

I don’t think I could love a wedding any more than I love this one. I’m completely smitten with it’s perfectly pink hues, gorgeous vistas, and the fact that the entire family chipped in and got their DIY on for the big day. This intimate wedding truly was a labor of love and everyone on the guest list contributed in some way, helping to create a feeling of inclusion and love. Sigh. This sweet fete truly reflects what weddings are all about.

At the beginning of every month the extraordinary planners Valley and Co. take over the SMP California blog and, using their years of experience and savvy event expertise, answer three reader questions.  This month they’re back with questions I know you can all relate to – kids at the wedding, centerpiece questions and venue contract logistics.

If you have reached a road block in your planning and need a little...

Love is sweet and this Melbourne wedding by Tom Blachford Photography is just about the sweetest way to celebrate it!  It is the perfect mix of vintage elegance and eclectic whimsy.  We are especially gaga over the gorgeous, lavender bridesmaids dresses and the delicate corsage each lovely lady wore on her wrist.  ...

This is such a tremendously sweet wedding.  Not only because of the details which are, don’t get me wrong, as pretty as can be, but for the sentiment and love that went into each and every planning decision that this bride and groom made.  They celebrated their love for each other and for their family members, both those who were present in person and in spirit, in some of the loveliest ways imaginable.  ...

This gorgeous garden wedding is so perfectly simple and beautiful that I’m not exactly sure where to even begin. I could start by expressing my complete adoration with the bride’s gorgeous Sarah Seven dress, or I could tell you all how in love I am with the pink and white hydrangeas, or how cute it is that the groom proposed while playing Scrabble and how the couple re-created that board for their wedding day. But I think I’ll let the pretty images from...

Well, I don’t think this Lake Tahoe wedding by Matt Edge Wedding Photography can get any prettier. Actually I know it can’t. Is it just me, or is Lake Tahoe the land of lovely where gorgeous is the norm? Because this elegance meets the outdoors wedding is knocking my socks off this morning with all of its gorgeousness! It’s sure to do the same to you, and don’t forget you can get lost a bit more in the...
