Budget Beautiful

Winter Park Wedding by Lora Rodgers Photography

Believe it or not, this gorgeous wedding sent into us by Lora Rodgers Photography was all done for under $7,000!! And that includes all the vendors too! Can you believe it? This intimate wedding reception for just 26 guests took place at the couple's favorite restaurant and from the looks of these beautiful images, I'd say it was quite the elegant celebration. [MORE]

Galena Wedding by Eleanor Kahn + Megan Thiele Studios

Christmas is over, but that doesn't mean the pretty party has ended. We still have so much to celebrate here at SMP Illinois...like this gorgeous (believe it or not) budget friendly wedding photographed by Megan Thiele Studios and designed perfectly by Eleanor Kahn. We're totally in love with the bride's beyond gorgeous dress, the sweet vintage-eclectic feel of the decor, and how personal... [MORE]

Nottoway Plantation Wedding from Stevie Ramos Photography

I sure hope you haven't put any sugar into that morning coffee yet, because I think we might just have the perfect amount of sweet for you all contained in one fantastic Louisiana wedding this morning. Stevie Ramos Photography was on hand at this classic southern affair - and what a southern affair it was. The bride (who looked beautiful) and groom (quite the handsome fella) tied the knot under a great big Oak tree, on the sprawling... [MORE]

Franklin Wedding by Ulmer Studios + Bridal Blueprints

I'm loving so many of the details in this wedding, but my absolute favorite has got to be how the couple displayed their love letters to one another while the groom-to-be was serving over in the Middle East in a large, old window for all their guests to see. Bridal Blueprints did an incredible job of infusing their romantic love story throughout the reception and kept the decor green and re-purposed many items to keep the overall... [MORE]

Westport, Connecticut Wedding by Lisa Boggs Photography

It's not very often that we come across a wedding sans flowers. Flora and Weddings are like peanut-butter and jelly. That is until we spotted this perfect day captured by Lisa Boggs Photography. It's a beautiful mix of herbs and backyard festivities without a single petal in sight but the pretty factor is soaring right through the roof. This wedding definitely gets the SMP seal of approval for thinking outside of the wedding... [MORE]

Eucalyptus Lane Wedding from Kathryn Krueger Photography

One of my favorite things is when I am surprised to read a bride's description of her big day - and learn that so much of her wedding was handmade by herself, or her loving friends and family. With as talented as your LBBers are, I feel like I have that surprise waiting for me multiple times a week, and I love it. This California wedding, captured beautifully by Kathryn Krueger Photography, was one of those stunning DIY affairs that caught... [MORE]

Island Park Wedding by Jodi Miller Photography

This sweet West Yellowstone wedding has captured my heart with its bright primary pops of color and homespun goodness. This small, intimate wedding is filled to the brim with the cutest DIY bits including origami paper crane escort cards and colorful potted table markers. But my absolute favorite part of this fete is the fact that the bride and groom personally served all forty-five guests dinner because as they said, They were our guests after all, why wouldn’t we take the time to serve each... [MORE]

Grasonville Wedding by Love By Serena

Up next is this super sweet and rustic, budget friendly DIY beauty photographed perfectly by Love By Serena. Each and every inch of this charming, little fete was lovingly created by the bride, her family, and friends and that's really what makes a wedding truly special and unique, in my humble opinion. And the pretty, pretty dress on the bride? Yeah, she got it on eBay for 200 bucks! Now that's truly budget friendly! [MORE]

What better way to welcome in a new week than with one of the most stylish couples I have ever seen.  Leave it to Williamsburg, Brooklyn to produce two totally chic cuties from his pink tie to her amazing custom-made dress.  The rest of their intimate, hands-on wedding is equally as cool and unique.  It's the perfect example of a DIY wedding that is pretty and personal without being crafty and eclectic.  It has an urban, modern vibe and lots of special touches.  How awesome is it that...

Well ladies and gents, this wedding by Jessica Charles Photography is a DIY dream come true. It's DIY done right and with a whole-lotta heart, and that's the best possible way in my little ol' opinion.
