I think it's quite possible that if you looked up dream destination in the dictionary, an image of Haiku Mill would pop into view. And that view would be filled with lush greenery, beautifully aged stone and sparkling chandeliers. That's Maui for ya. Belle Destination Weddings and ...

We've seen a lot of wonderful weddings come across the pages of SMP, but never one with a story quite as touching as this. A bride, who tore her Achilles' tendon just weeks before the wedding, and her father battling Parkinson's, uncertain if he'd be able to escort his daughter down the aisle. But on that day, time stood still. She was the blushing bride he was her daddy, wheeled down the aisle side-by-side. It's a wedding that captures the love of family through all circumstances, and...

My best friend in college grew up in Savannah. And she was fabulous. With a pretty Southern accent that could charm the pants off of just about anyone she came across. So when she invited us home for a Summertime visit, well, we knew that it would be something special. What we didn't know, was just how very special that Savannah trip would be  - with sweeping gardens and French inspired architecture and food and food and food for days. It was magic. And...

Call me a major wedding nerd, but just as soon as I saw this Santa Barbara beauty, I knew today was going to be a good day.  Not just because of the hot pink palette, the Kate Spade glitter pumps, or even the ombre petals trailing down the aisle, but because Joy de Vivre made sure the entire day was rustic glam done so, so right. ...

Some days I still can't believe it's my job to write about the prettiest weddings on the planet. Weddings so pretty, they could bring a tear to virtually any eye staring back across the screen. They're weddings just like this Palos Verdes stunner, that simply put, is the total package. And while there's no doubt you'll fall in love with the full gallery of...

There are two things that never fail to capture my attention: delicious food and bald babies. And this Easter themed brunch just so happens to have both en masse. Bunny shaped cinnamon rolls, fruit filled sugar cones and a casual, yet elegant, tablescape in soft hues is all you need to really make this holiday shine. Designed by Julie Blanner and...
