Little known fact. Abby Larson, previously Abby McLucas, is about as Irish as they come. From my fiery temper to my love of the Clancy Brothers, my Irish heritage is one that I am very, very proud to call my own. As is the ridiculously talented Shannon Leahy, the designer behind our next bit of inspiration. It's a modern Irish wedding done SO so right, with steal-worthy details that would fit just about any style of wedding. [MORE]
I'm having a bit of trouble accepting the fact that Valentine's Day, in all it's pink girliness, has passed for the year. So when I saw this INSANELY adorable wedding inspiration that Emily Steffen Photography sent our way, well. Swoon city. Designed by Emily, Bethany Hway of b*spoke blog and Dena Swenson with florals by... [MORE]
If there is one thing that every girl wants on Valentine's Day...it's Chanel. Bottom line. So when I saw this FABULOUS Chanel inspired shoot that Yelena at The Stylish Soiree put together, well, I swooned. The concept behind this shoot was to take the trends, fabrics and themes showcased in the Chanel Spring 2010 Ready to Wear runway show and translate them... [MORE]
Hello lovelies, Erin here from Erin Ever After and I come today bearing Valentine's Day inspired gifts — and a confession. I am an avid reader of Twilight. There, I said it. Now only thousands of people know my little secret. But even if you aren't a fan of the vampire series and have no idea who Edward and Bella are, I promise you this tablescape is sure to delight. Plus, what could be more perfect for Valentine's Day than... [MORE]
If it seems you can't escape the Valentine's Day hoopla...you're right. So, rather than fight it, I thought we could just embrace this silly holiday (which I love nonetheless) and provide some super adorable, totally wedding applicable V Day inspiration. We have a full day of cuteness here on SMP and even if you aren't planning a wedding, you're sure to find some serious eye candy. Next up, how stinking cute is this shoot that Beka at... [MORE]
I think some of the East Coasters who are getting buckets and buckets of snow are ready to cash it in and move South. But, I am here to tell you that those buckets and buckets just happen to make for THE most beautiful weddings. I've always been a little obsessed with Winter weddings but after seeing the photo shoot that Jessica Claire put together...I am officially declaring the Winter wedding the new must have.[MORE]
Despite my Boston address, I am a total Texas girl. I was raised in a small town outside of Houston where Friday night lights were all that mattered and the Rodeo was the one thing we looked forward to every February. I miss those days more than I would probably ever admit to and this particular feature took me right back home to a time when beer bottles make perfect vases and a few bits of lace could make any table look pretty. This event was the annual gala for an... [MORE]
We pretty much never feature bridal showers on SMP but after seeing this adorable little fete, I am officially putting them on our must have list. Planned and designed by Jeannie at Details Details for her cute friend Grace, the details behind this shower are basically what I want my entire life to look like. Sweet, pretty, and completely girl. Oh and the lovely... [MORE]
I am so sad that our photoshoot is coming to an end. Amorology Weddings and Jill Thomas have inspired, delighted and just made us really darn happy today with a love shoot that was as charming as it was totally gorgeous. And the couples that are participating are actually in love, actually really smitten with each other. So to have this little piece of heaven to... [MORE]
I am sucker for pretty things. Clearly, or else I wouldn't get so ridiculously excited every time I get to feature a shoot as gorgeous as this one. And although it isn't exactly a wedding, I thought that it was PERFECT inspiration for the Style Me Pretty bride. Incredible details, off the chart styling, a color palette that is effortlessly gorgeous and fashion that may not be traditional, but that certainly makes you smile. Designed and photographed by... [MORE]
We gave you a little sneaky peek of this shoot in last week's wrap up, but I am thrilled to bring you the entire shebang of awesomeness that Amorology Weddings and Jill Thomas put together for us. It's not so much a wedding as it is a photo shoot of all things gorgeous, celebrating the third anniversary of three different couples. But, since it is literally... [MORE]
I have been waiting 'with bated breath' to see the photos from Candice's own wedding. So yesterday's front page SMP feature was a huge delight for me! Not only was it all that I knew it would be ... it was one of those Little Black Book... [MORE]
There is something completely magical about today's photoshoot. It's very Anthropologie, very dreamy. It's the kind of life that I live inside of my crazy imagination and to see that really come to life is such a treat. Designed by Lucinda Wesson of Chocolate Creative Design, along with help from some of our favorite Connecticut vendors (see full list below)... [MORE]
Today is another sparkly, glittery, all together lovely day on Style Me Pretty. Since weddings are winding down for the year, we thought it would be fun to feature a stunning, holiday inspired photoshoot that a handful of our favorite vendors designed just for SMP. I have a huge soft spot in my heart for our Connecticut Vendors as they are just this rare little group of designers who are... [MORE]
For anyone that knows me...a white on white color palette is pretty much as good as it gets. My mother in law even gave me a white poinsettia this year while she gave everyone else the traditional red variety. I literally own 20 or so little white t-shirts, I wear a white winter coat, I only own white linens and china and am currently bursting out of my 4 year old white sneaks that I can't seem to part with. In my book, a pretty white wedding is just about as good as it gets. So... [MORE]
