I’ll admit that we go crazy for gorgeous, meticulously planned and executed weddings BUT (yes, there is a BUT) we also go nutzo for intimate, super, duper sweet affairs. You know, the ones that pull at your heart strings and have you balling like a little baby because they are just.that.sweet. This is a secret wedding sent to us by Simply Jessie Photography and it falls right into that category. This couple absolutely could not...

We love a short wedding dress, and this one does not disappoint.  The bride found this sweet little BCBG dress on eBay for just $110…SCORE!  Even though the bride says that the “one word to sum up the plan for our wedding would be budget”, they certainly did not scrimp on style.  They infused their personalities throughout (check out the adorable mad libs below) and handmade all the papergoods themselves.  We are swooning over their creative style and are certain you...

I feel like there are so many brides out there that are totally and completely overwhelmed when it comes to planning their wedding. Even though I was IN the wedding industry when I planned my own, I was definitely one of those girls. I wish someone had given me permission to embrace my jeans and a t-shirt personality when it came to the design…to craft a wedding that was laid back and yet beautiful, casual and yet really special. Well, that is EXACTLY what this gorgeous bride did and...

This wedding sent to us by Stella and Leon of Stella Alesi Photography is so sweet, so very sweet. It is a backyard charmer straight out of Austin, Texas and this adorable couple just might be the coolest cats ever featured on SMP. We are seriously crushing on their perfect vintage style and the handmade affair that they created with the help of talented friends and family. Plus, Vivienne Westwood shoes happen to be an amazing combo...

We’re really excited about the next couple of weddings. For one, they’re GORGEOUS. But more exciting, they have been documented by a few new faces to SMP! We’ve asked a couple of our favorite bloggers to guest blog for us and I couldn’t be more thrilled about the additions. So, without further ado, meet Emilia Jane…the absolutely, positively adorable voice behind the blog Sweet Emilia Jane!

If you ever wanted to see a true, no-holds-bar DIY wedding…and one that turned out so incredibly lovely…this is your lucky, lucky day. I was so moved by the story behind this wedding, by the fact that the bride looked to old photos of family weddings held in this very backyard to inspire her design, by the idea that the bride saw the value in bringing together friends and family to build a truly special wedding…I just knew I had to share. Photographed by more...

This next wedding is all about the fun. Carefree, whimsical, dance-your-tail-off kind of fun. Photographed by the FAB husband and wife duo, Leon and Stella Alesi, I couldn’t help but fall head over heels for Austin, Texas this fete. Favorite part? The colorful paper poms that completely transform the space.  But remember, this is only a tidbit of the actual wedding goodness. There is so much more fun to be had in the gallery, more...

This is such a cute love story, seriously killing me with the adorableness. This bride and groom met on…are you ready for this…eHarmony. Love it. And their sweet as pie courtship ended with a fabulous DIY wedding in the Midwest. Photographed by Katie Day, with styling by Sharon Taylor Designs, this is a study in all things bright and lovely. DIY brides, be sure...

I am literally bursting at the seams to share this delightful wedding with you. For one, it is a gorgeous display of summer garden goodness captured by uber talented (and soon walking down the aisle themselves) Davina + Daniel. Second, these two lovebirds happen to be great friends of mine and I was able to watch the magic unfold live. It was one of the most beautiful, heartfelt weddings I have ever had the honor of attending. more...

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Tait and I were actually at the Cape all of last week so before I begin, I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to Erin, Elaine and our Guest Bloggers for keeping the blog afloat (and totally gorgeous) while we were gone! You girls are the best. Okay, so we have the loveliest of lovely weddings for you this Monday morning. The bride and her friends and family crafted all of the gorgeous details on a $13,000 budget and made it look like a $50,000...
