This wedding feeds into a love of romantic, pastel details and bold, gilded, sequin ones too. If you're anything like me you adore all of the above and to see a wedding that can execute the entire spectrum of color and hue is true magic. But even more magical is a photographer that can capture the beauty of a soft pink invitation paired next to an image that's all about gold and white chevron sequin linens. It's not an easy match-up but ...

The Villa San Juan Capistrano immediately shot to the top of my love list once I opened up this wedding by Benj Haisch. It's a magical little venue that has the feel of a backyard wedding; except this faux backyard has been completely infused with glamour. We're talking lucite chiavari chairs, architecture dripping in ivy and a Mr. and Mrs. dressed to the nines. And that, my friends, is...
I would classify this photo shoot as a little bit rock n' roll and a lot a bit glam. Just the combo I prefer when combing for wedding inspiration. Think Gwen Stefani meets Los Angeles garden party handcrafted by Charlie and Olivia along with images by onelove photography. With layers upon layers of texture and beauty, I'm sure you'll find many a detail to tuck away for safe...
I love this Bride. For so many reasons, but the main one being after reading her description I think she might be the sweetest person on the planet. And her wedding? Beyond gorgeous. Donning her grandmother's gown and a whole lot of gratitude, her nuptials to her main man in uniform were nothing short of stunning. Add cascading florals and gorgeous images from Forever Photography Studio? And ladies and gentlemen, we...
On the opposite side of a traditional ballroom affair lies a little gem we like to call California classic. It's a type of wedding that utilizes the clear blue skies as its backdrop, where the sunshine runs a plentith and a layer of casual elegance is woven into each and every detail. This Templeton wedding indeed checks every one of those boxes along with photographs by Sarah Kathleen that capture maybe the best detail of all; the...
We sing the praises of backyard weddings on a daily basis here at SMP and with good reason. They are awesome - and the perfect place to weave a day that is all at once elegant and chock-full of personality. Which is why we fell fast for this Alabama stunner from A Southern Affair and Glass Jar Photography, aka, a DIY masterpiece of rustic details...
Having a really hard time deciding which beautiful images to post is not a bad problem to have. So I can't fault Bryce Covey for capturing this gem that has left me reworking image combinations for the better part of the morning. And you can't fault me for stuffing this post to the gills with boards. Fourteen to be exact. It's just the way I roll when I come across a wedding too good to edit down. So four hours and three cups of...
Classic romance, it never fails me. It's the one element that I am drawn to time and again. And though that classic can take many, many forms there are a few key details that seem to be woven into my long list of much loved affairs. A blushing Bride, a dress so pretty it hurts, reception details that are all at once fresh and beautifully timeless. And these details come at the hands of a team of wildly talented vendors including design by...
South Carolina sets the setting for some of the loveliest weddings to grace the screen of SMP. Perhaps it's the gorgeous marsh trees or the southern style that seeps into every soiree, but I'm pretty darn sure it's the couples that decide to celebrate their day there that make that state shine. And boy did this duo's day make it shine. It's stylish and sweet and captured beautifully by Stephanie Fay Photography, and...
We're spicing things up a bit today and kicking off the very first Wedding Wednesday of 2013 on, well... Thursday. That's how we roll here at SMP. And even though we may have temporarily switched up the days on you, we're still delivering the same lineup of lovely - starting with this classic North Carolina wedding from Graham Terhune Photography. A dream come true for the beautiful bride who always imagined a...
