"Look for Less"

It goes without saying that we LOVE us some Amy Atlas. Like girl crush love. She's a styling pioneer and the reason why dessert tables look even more delicious these days. And just when we think she has hit the highest of high notes in beautiful design, she sends us a shoot like this. A beautiful, almost too pretty to eat (but that wouldn't stop us), makes us want to high five each other (if we did that sort of thing) - type of a shoot.

We couldn't let today's lovely Napa affair off the hook without showcasing some of the pretty bits and bobbles that made this alfresco wedding truly dazzle. We've scoured the web for everything from fashion to decor that has that signature California cool style woven so beautifully throughout this gem. Think of it as an all access pass to creating your own wine country stunner.   1. Could that bride and her stunning...

It's been a really great few days on SMP. I hope that through Libby and Patrick's wedding you were able to see how a wedding is really built...from soup to nuts. Or as I should say, from inspiration to reality. I really feel like this little project has given me more motivation and excitement than I have ever had to infuse SMP with hands-on, really exciting features. Ideas and inspirations that will resonate with even more brides out there. Before we wrap things up, I thought I'd share a few...

Menswear is tricky. To get a perfectly tailored suit, it takes a little bit of cash, a little bit of patience and a really great tailor. But that is for a perfectly tailored suit. Not all weddings require this (despite what your etiquette book says) so this next feature is for all of you girls out there that simply want your hubs to look good without killing your wallets. Perfection, not necessary. Hotness, completely necessary.

First up, a classic suit.

The classic...

So. We are currently doing a survey on SMP (that you can fill out for us right here) to see what we can do better, what features we can highlight, what we can do to make SMP an even better place to visit.

Okay, so I have a little confession. We actually featured a little peek of this wedding that the fabulous Jose Villa sent our way... a year and a half ago. And for that feature, we included a great look for less. But, seeing that I am doing a photo shoot and blogging simultaneously (not an easy task), I thought you might give me a little leeway and let me post it again! It's really great information and for any of you that missed it the...

Every now and then I get really inspired to do a Look For Less feature...basically offering up tips and ideas on pulling off one of our super chic weddings on more of a budget. Well, even though today's Malibu affair already had some GREAT  budget tips, I thought we could turn it up a notch.

We are breaking it all down over on the Style Circle, so to read more about this...

Since our blog posts are becoming more plentiful, I thought we could try doing a weekly wrap-up for all of you whose bosses peak over your shoulder or for those who want to catch up on their weekend reading!

So today's featured zebra inspired wedding, although completely beautiful, was probably outside many of your budgets. But, you CAN get that same look for a lot less, if you really break it down. This look is perfect for a restaurant style wedding...a venue with an outdoor patio that already has simple, modern furniture that you can dress up a bit!

The best way to really make a statement would be to add a zebra print throw rug. I found the top one at...
