DIY has come such a long, lovely way. Don't you agree? Brides (and their families) just keep getting craftier and we get to reap the stylish rewards through weddings like this one captured beautifully by Hales Studio. Weddings where, if you didn't tell us it was DIY, we would have absolutely no idea - because each detail tucked in this gallery is just as...
Through the years, the vendors that grace the pages of SMP have become dear friends of mine. It's one of the truly special things about what I do. And the team of talents behind this wedding at Chamard Vineyards? They are simply the sweetest, and seriously talented to boot. So it's no surprise to me that with TRUE Event behind the design, Lindsay of ...
Brides and grooms to be, take note. A wedding modeled after this inspiration shoot from Brocade Designs + Stockroom Vintage is top of my "Must See" list. Nathan Westerfield captured a shoot so beautiful I'm sweetly requesting an invite - with gorgeous calligraphy from...
The lovely Beth, of The White Dress By The Shore, is the type of woman little girls want to be when they grow up. She owns one of the most beautiful bridal boutiques I ever did see (I actually got my gown there), and she exudes this elegance and grace not often found in our day and age. She is just all around darling. So when I heard that she and her ADORABLE family were doing a vow renewal and...
There are so many ways to make a wedding pop; color being a huge category in that pop scenario (and one of my favorites). It can take a wedding to a whole new level of fresh and modern, just ask this Portland affair designed by Bridal Bliss. Mint, coral, chevron, it's all there and mingling beautifully. See for yourself with all the images by Bryan Rupp sitting pretty...
Nothing gets our giddies going like a wedding planned by Joy de Vivre. And while we heart just about any event she touches, this Solvang soiree sets the bar even higher for vineyard weddings done right. The stunning photos come as no surprise with Michael & Anna Costa snapping up the pretty, and you must, must, must take time to...
They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, and though I'm not sure if that's true or not, it sure does make for a romantic day. Whether your ceremony gets pushed inside amongst the candles, or the sky opens up just in the knick of time, like this lucky couple experienced, it makes for the most intimate ambiance. And amazing images, like these from Marcella Treybig Photography. Good luck or not, I've never met a rainy day...
When a puppy in a bowtie and a gorgeous view of the New York City skyline are trumped by a wedding, it's good. So, so good. And with Ulysses Photography behind the lens, it's like we were there experiencing every bit of the romance and beauty. So a BIG thank you to Ulysses Photography for letting us tag along with a gallery of gorgeous images.
This wedding has stolen my heart, and that is the honest to goodness truth. I spent so much time with these images, that I feel like I actually attended this magnificent event. I have never been to South Carolina, but if this is what they have been keeping cooped up down there, I need to hop in the car for a road trip ASAP. While gazing at the images brought to us by Lauren Jackson Photography, you can just feel this family's...
If you've been following SMP for awhile, then you know that we are big fans of Agnes Lopez Photography. Big, big fans. The kind of fans that literally jump for joy whenever we see her name pop up on our computer screens - which is precisely what we did when we first spotted this beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach wedding. Because, really, who could resist this gorgeous bride and groom, the oh-so-heartwarming details (see: the bride's gown +...
At the risk of being a little too cheesy, this couple has got chemistry - and I've totally fused right onto it. Petals Planning Company planned a soiree perfect for two self-proclaimed chemistry nerds, complete with blooms in beakers. Based on Heather Jowett's images, I'd say the day was a knock out, or an A+ if you will. Make sure to do your extra credit in...
There is a full fledge wedding crush happening on this side of the screen. No joke. My palms are sweaty and I can't stop my girlish giggling. Craig Photography's view from this autumn Pennsylvania wedding has stolen my heart and I can't imagine I'll be getting it back any time soon. So fall in love with this gorgeous soiree and then meet me in...
We're kicking off the month of November with two full days of Bridal Market recaps (!) and up next is a collection we know you lovelies can.not.wait to see. Yep - we're talking the Modern Trousseau Fall 2013 Collection and, oh my goodness, is this one serious lineup of lovely. Classic styles, sophisticated lines and just a hint of modern style - it's one stop-you-in-your-tracks gown after another with that uber-romantic vibe we SO...
Why is it that everything in Texas just seems so effortlessly pretty and fresh? Your weddings are some of the loveliest we've seen and this one is certainly no exception. Sent into us by the super talented Caroline + Ben Photography, this wedding is the epitome of casual elegance. Each and every detail was carefully crafted by the bride, her mom and the wedding party and we're loving every.single.inch from the to-die-for florals to the...
There's so many things to love about this super pretty, super DIYed wedding. First off, hats off to the bride who literally made everything from the invitations to the adorable Velveteen Rabbit inspired cake topper! We're also loving that they chose to include all their guest in the ceremony by doing a ring warming. Each and every person there got to hold their rings and make a silent prayer or wish for their future before the rings were placed on one the bride and groom's fingers.
