So today is good for so many reasons. The obvious, it’s about to be the Fourth of July! Which means hot dogs, potato salad, backyards and fireworks. Can’t beat that. BUT, it’s also great because we are announcing the winner of the Bluefly Giveaway! It took a while to go through the entries and find a perfect fit, but we are excited to reveal the lucky girl or boy later today.

Ok, back to the cute, cute nautical inspired wedding that we are featuring.

40’s Inspired Wedding by Jeremy Harwell, II

July 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 5 comments

I la-la-love this wedding. It’s so girly, so charming, filled with perfect details that would make any girl completely swoon. I am thrilled that the photographer, Jeremy Harwell, sent it my way!

The incredible flowers were designed by Virtu, a great floral studio out of Atlanta. Their portfolio is filled with absolutely gorgeous designs that hint but don’t overwhelm you with their natural elegance. Love them.

40’s Inspired Wedding by Jeremy Harwell

July 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 11 comments

I took one look at this lovely wedding and knew that it was an SMP feature. There is something so sweet, so precious about the 40’s inspired affair. Jeremy Harwell, the photographer behind the day, did a spectacular job at telling the beautiful story of the day.

The location itself, Dunaway Gardens, is unbelievably special…it was originally established by a film actress and her husband and served as a training ground for producers, directors and performers of the arts during the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. Walt Disney was even a frequent guest! So, this lovely couple, found their inspiration in the venue’s roots and designed a wedding that seemed at home in the perfect space.

Navy and Yellow Wedding in California, II

July 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 15 comments

The weddings that are hands down the most popular on SMP, are those that seem approachable, that resonate with brides in all different areas working on all different budgets. Those where inspiration is found tucked within every corner. Those that have a clearly defined color palette and easy to replicate ideas. And those that are undeniably fabulous.

This wedding, photographed by Sweet Monday,  is just that…and so much more. It’s designed to a “T” with each detail filled with charm and style and a defined elegance that seems to infuse every element.

Navy and Yellow Wedding in California

July 2nd. 2009 by Abby Larson | 20 comments

I love this wedding. It’s that perfect Navy and Yellow palette that we have only fallen more and more in love with on SMP, with details that are one part whimsy, one part sheer elegance. Sent to us by the incredible photographers at Sweet Monday, this affair is all about the gorgeous.

From the lovely Lyndsey and April of Sweet Monday PhotographyThe wedding was held at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades. We loved Ami’s yellow and blue palette and her vintage but still very modern look.  Carissa at JL Designs & Events did an amazing job with the flowers and decor for this wedding and really brought Ami’s vision to life. Caroline Cheng of Serenity Events did the coordination.

A HUGE thank you to Marianne Taylor for sending me today’s featured wedding. It’s official, you are one of my new favorite photographers. If you guys haven’t already pored over Marianne’s site, it’s a must! Here are a few more photos from the simple, but stunning reception…

Simple, but sophisticated centerpieces set on classic white linens in an undeniably beautiful space…it really doesn’t get much better than that. Simple, simple elegance. It’s probably my favorite style of wedding.
