Temecula Wedding by Erin Hearts Court

Dear Breathtaking Temecula Wedding... you are hands down one of the prettiest little gems I've ever laid eyes on. All it took was one brief look, one itty bitty little glance at all that pastel-infused gorgeousness and I was a total goner. The only bad thing about this wedding is trying to decide what to pin first. On my "to pin" list: the wildly romantic Monique Lhuilier dress, the row of perfectly unmatched bridesmaids, the ribbon table runners...actually EVERYTHING. And we have ... [MORE]

Captured brilliantly by Charlotte Elizabeth Photographer, the affair is filled with swoon worthy deets. [MORE]

Saddlerock Ranch Wedding by Events of Love and Splendor

Vibrant doesn't even begin to describe this cultural beauty crafted by Events of Love and Splendor and captured by The Image is Found! Oh no, this fête would need a completely new adjective for all of us to fully grasp the lovely that is this behind the take.your.breath.away details and florals whipped up by ...

Perth Wedding Video by Urban Light Films

There is one main reason why I love my job as much as I do.  Of course, I am in love with details - gorgeous flowers, stunning gowns - and I love beautiful photography and grand celebrations.  But the number one thing that makes me so excited to get to work every day has to be the love.  I am a big baby when it comes to romance so by the time I finished this Perth video by Urban Light Films I was a blabbering mess.  It is so...

Spiaggia Wedding by Steve Koo Photography + Honey Bee Weddings

This Chicago wedding by Steve Koo Photography is proof that you don't have to be uber-crafty to have a beautiful (semi)DIY wedding and that a DIY wedding can be absolutely elegant and beautiful.  This self-proclaimed non-crafty bride personalized her wedding in the loveliest of ways by adding small handcrafted details like the ceremony programs, guest book and cake pops.  Of course, being a wedding coordinator doesn't hurt... [MORE]

Austin Museum of Arts Wedding by Caroline + Ben Photography

Oh, Texas.  You and your weddings just have a way of capturing my heart.... and today's stunning Austin soiree is certainly no exception. With its breathtaking garden setting, beautiful blooms by Last Petal, charming lace accents and sweet, Southern style, I was head over heels from the get-go.  Yep, there's just nothing I love more than a fabulous outdoor affair and with ... [MORE]

Puerto Vallarta Wedding by Michelle Turner + Eduardo Reyes

Now this is how you do a Destination wedding. Warm weather, sandy beaches, palm trees and I'm sure a few fruity cocktails. More importantly, there's not a lick of snow insight. Yep, Puerto Vallarta is indeed heaven and this wedding of one really adorable couple is basking in all this locale has to offer. But enough about musings of the tropical climate kind, (forgive me it's COLD in Boston). When Michelle Turner is manning the... [MORE]

Willowdale Estate Wedding by Lisa Rigby Photography

I can't believe it's Friday already! I guess the weeks just fly by when you're lucky enough to gush over gorgeous weddings each and every day. And this next little fete is no exception.

Elkhart Lake Wedding from Anna Page Photography + I Do Films

Father of the Bride is a favorite movie around the SMP offices, so when this ridiculously adorable bride mentioned she had infused a little FOTB into her Wisconsin wedding, we were all smitten. Captured by Anna Page Photography, the wedding definitely lives up to the hype - it's gorgeous, fresh, and clean - and of course, centered around two super cute lovebirds. We've even got a fantastic little film from... [MORE]

Missouri River Valley Wedding by Lisa Hessel Photography

I have fallen head over heels in love with this next little number by Lisa Hessel Photography. It is filled to the brim with prettiness, of course - the flowers are perfect, the color palette is flawless and the Bride is GORGEOUS, but when I read the description by the new Mrs., I realized that this DIY duo is even more darling than I had even given them credit for. Their teamwork approach to their big day paid off and then... [MORE]
