If you've spent some time perusing the pages of Style Me Pretty over the years you know that a timeless fête, one that exudes a level of elegance not worthy of any adjective we can put on a page, makes us melt like no other. That classic elegance will get us every time, and when it looks as pretty as this one does, and is photographed to absolute perfection thanks to Erin Hearts Court, we surrender. We throw up our hands, and give up...
This next wedding will take your breath away. It will, I promise. I'm not sure if it's the stunningly dreamy photographs by Laura Murray, the sweet but timeless styling by Love This Day Events or the fact that the bride and groom seem so hopelessly and beautifully in love...but mark my words. This wedding will take your breath away. Just make sure that you carve out...
Tis the day of anniversaries. From an intimate rooftop soiree we now find ourselves amidst the glamorous partaying of another type of anniversary party. One for the ever so chic Cassandra Lavalle of Coco+Kelley. Her fabulous blog turned a whopping 5 (that's like 50 in people years) and she did what any...
Sometimes, it's the quietest of moments. The sweetest of sentiments. The simplest of celebrations...that make for the most beautiful weddings on Style Me Pretty. And this New York City wedding, photographed to utter perfection by Sean Kim, is nothing short of lovely. And who would have thought that it was a budget friendly affair with details, touches and style for days tucked into each and every corner by...
For a girl that is tethered to her desk the vast majority of the time, I'm pretty close to a kid in a candy store when we get to help host an event in our own hometown of Boston. Especially when it's on Newbury Street at the fabulous Crush boutique and literally overflowing with the most absurdly good cupcakes and pretties a girl could ever want. Designed and executed by our sweet friend...
This wedding is why I love Style Me Pretty so very much. It's one of those weddings that breathes, that smiles, that has soul and style and substance. And while it's wildly different than my own nuptials, it has its own kind of beauty that brings out a lazy, long and authentic smile every time I pore through the images. Photographed by Emily Scannell, we are smitten for this San Miguel beauty.
Project Runway Fans Unite. This is your kind of day on SMP because we just happen to have one of my all time favorite Runway stars right here, right now. It's Nora Caliguri. The absurdly chic, absolutely gorgeous, wish she won the whole she-bang but know she's a raging success regardless Nora Caliguri. And her wedding is nothing short of pure loveliness. Planned by the lovely...
For anyone's standards, my daughter's fourth birthday was a smashing success. And while it looked like a ton of work, I decided early on that any do-it-yourself projects would be fun and super easy (and would ideally be able to transition into our home after the confetti was thrown). The first project was inspired by...
So whenever I'm asked the question, "what's the easiest way to design a party with style on a budget?" my answer is always the same. Go and get yourself a brand. A party logo. Which can come in the form of a monogram, a distinctive color palette or a fun icon. Then thread that little piece of pretty into everything you can think of and voila. Instant cohesion among a chaos. For...
It's been an eye candy kind of day on SMP...the variety of pretty that can fit right into a four year old's perfectly pink birthday party, just as it could a wedding, a shower or any other festivity where fun is the main event. So you've seen Audrey's 4th birthday party. You've seen the...
My sweet baby girl turned four years old last weekend. Four. As in, she'll be in Kindergarden next year kind of four. It blows my mind how fast life goes and how I just barely blinked my eyes and poof. I have a little lady. A sweet, kind, gracious, lovely little lady that I get to kiss until my hearts content day after day after day. And so when she looked up at me with those huge blue eyes and asked for a princess party...a princess party she received. I know.
I'm in New York about 6 times a year. Maybe more. But the thing is, I fly in and out so quickly for meetings and such, that I never get to pause and really soak up the city that the world loves so very much. So I rely almost exclusively on weddings like this next one to deliver that New York City gorgeousness that a girl craves and to remind myself that in all of its chaos, New York is magic. And when you put Charlotte Jenks Lewis...
For a girl that grew up in Texas...this wedding is as sweet as it gets. It's the lace and the boots and the total prettiness set against that gorgeous Texas sun that warms my heart and has officially made me lose track of what I'm doing entirely. Photographed by Sarah Kate, with design by Holly Tripp &...
I've been waiting for a wedding like this one, for oh...about a hundred years. Because to me, this is exactly what style looks like. Exactly what it means to put your own personality stamp on your special day. The bride - who crafted all of those crazy beautiful reception flowers herself - and groom looked only to their own loves to dictate their approach to wedding day style...and I couldn't be a happier blogger because of it. The pair...
Although the fact that I actually have to climb out of bed on this glorious Sunday morning is a bit tragic, it's been made infinitely better upon seeing this magical, breakfast-in-bed moment. A boy. A girl. A stack of pancakes. And more smiles, laughter and unabashed lovey doviness than a girl could ever wish for. The photographs are by Scarlet O'Neill and the styling is by...
Sometimes, it's those sweet, simple, thoughtfully crafted weddings that we love the most here on SMP and this one fits the bill entirely. Photographed flawlessly by Zac Wolf, this wedding is basically as lovely as lovely gets. With a bride, all glowy and gorgeous, a groom in love and pretty flowers all in a row. The handcrafted details, the peonies for days and the general sense of gorgeous are all just a fabulous bonus.
I don't know how to properly introduce this next gem in a way that will do it justice. So that I articulate just how breathtaking it is. Just how beautifully crafted, thoughtfully designed, lovingly built it was. All I can tell you is that I've never been quite as captivated by a single piece of inspiration, in the five years that I've been writing about them, as I am with this seemingly perfect moment. And I have the stunning bride, the brilliance of...
I am officially throwing caution to the wind and saying that this wedding is going to be the most favorited, pin-worthy wedding of all time and that all of you brides out there are going to go a bit nutty. Because it's definitely one of the best weddings I've ever seen and has all of the SMP boxes checked that a girl could want: FABulous dress, check. Adorable, handmade details, check. Killer style, check. Whimsy for days, check. Total joy and make-you-blush kind of love, check, check.
We've been feasting on all things Al Fresco today and with the cloudy skies outside my window, I couldn't be happier to soak in a bit of e-sunshine. Fabulous cocktails, inspired florals and an easy breezy attitude is what should always define outdoor entertaining and this next little gem of a luncheon, photographed by Carina Skrobecki, is just that. The best part? Totally approachable, no fuss design with a whole lot of laughter. Oh and we designed a fun...
We have been cozying up to the beauty that is the Nordstrom Wedding Suite for the last four days and delving into a few of the many, many looks they have to offer.
