You may or may not have heard, but the Southwest is in the middle of an (excruciatingly hot) heat wave; one that is seeing temps rise to well over 120 degrees. And since I happen to live in one of those very hot Southwestern states, I've been spending my time indoors, dreaming of a vacation to a nice seaside locale like it's my job to do so. And when I spotted this gorgeous day from the genius that is Allure Event? I knew...
If the bride's custom designed gown had anything to say about it, this wedding was fabulous. Traditionally New York classic, with black ties and a cathedral length veil. A Kennedy-esque feel to the whole shebang. A crisp fall day in the city. And images from Craig Paulson Photography. Everything with a subtle nod to fabulous. And that is the kind of wedding that can get anyone out of a Monday morning funk. Especially with a trip to...
This Bride and Groom took their wedding, which is special in and of itself, and crafted a day centered around a spot they both hold dear, their alma mater. Celebrating their love where they met, where they grew together as a couple; that's the extra special sauce that makes this wedding stand out. And all the pretty garden details captured by Raya Carlisle Photography are the added bonus. They're details like huge, garden blooms...
Elopements have a special kind of character. There's a giddiness and a we-can't-believe-we're-doing-this kind of excitement that can't be matched, so when I see the giggles and smiles throughout Claire Morgan Photography's images of this winter elopement in Austria, I'm filled with all sorts of joy. A fresh blanket of snow, a Watters dress, adorably decorated...
Just give me some peonies and a good barn (a darn good barn, might I add), and I'm sold no matter what. And these amazing images from Patti Miller Photography at The Mill House have done nothing short of take my breath away when capturing the incredibly gorgeous floral arbor at the wedding altar created by...
An all white color palette can be heaven, don't you think? All the different textures of the clean, crisp color make for a wedding that is filled with absolutely perfect layers (at least in my humble opinion). Finishing Touch Event Design was able to put together the most amazing all-white wedding for these long time sweethearts (they fell in love on the playground!) and it is phenom. Seen from...
I'm just going to go ahead and say it, the florals designed by MMD Events in this gorgeous Florida fête make me SO happy. Bright, vibrant and overflowing - what more can you ask for? Actually this entire soiree snapped up by Gina Leigh Photography is making my grin go from ear to ear, and it's sure to do the same for you. Want even more of this beauty (of course you do)?
You might notice today is Wednesday, and typically we crank out wedding after gorgeous wedding for a day full of inspiration (full is actually an understatement) on this pretty day. Well this week we are changing things up to make room for a week of giveaways (see the first here and ...
I hope you put on your fancy pants this morning when you got dressed, because this Los Angeles wedding requires them. I really do love a ballroom wedding. They are gorgeous, classy, and just the perfect amount of fancy. And this L.A. wedding takes the buttercream cake of ballroom weddings. With help from the lovely Kristeen LaBrot Events, the affair was classically chic, with stunning tablescapes, a gorg black and white palette...
There is no doubt in my mind that you are going to love this little Sonoma beauty with all of your wedding loving hearts. No doubt whatsoever. First, it's from the oh so lovely (and incredibly talented) Lisa Lefkowitz. Second, it has all the elegant style of a ballroom affair yet is all the way al fresco. Third, the soft color palette and flowers from Fleurs de France make me...
There is a whole lot of pretty coming your way this lovely Tuesday morning, all courtesy of this gorgeous Kennesaw affair by Scobey Photography. Filled to the brim with one amazing detail after another, the more time I spend drooling over all of the beautiful images, the more I fall desperately in love with each and every one. (And trust me, I've spent a lot of time drooling.) From those stunning bouquets by...
Get ready to soak up some fabulous Cabo San Lucas gorgeousness. The bride = gorgeous. The styling (the majority of it also being DIY) = gorgeous. The images from The Youngrens = gorgeous. The stunning Cabo back drop = gorgeous. Seriously, so.much.gorgeous to be had, and lucky for all of us the full gallery of images is oozing with even more.
I imagine that choosing the location must be one of the hardest parts of having a destination wedding. For this vivacious couple, it certainly helped that many of their family members, and their childhood memories, were in Puerto Rico. Getting their dream destination out of the way allowed them to just focus on how much fun they were going to have. And did they ever! It is quite obvious from these incredible images by...
This next feature from Melissa and Jon's wedding, will definitely make you hungry and will most certainly make you re-think all of your wedding food choices. Sorry in advance!
From Melissa...For the cake I had to have a collection of my favorite cakes from Café Madeline. They design the most beautiful cakes that all have a modern, gourmet look and they taste amazing. In the end we saved money by buying cakes retail instead of having a traditional multi-tiered wedding cake.
We are feasting on the FABULOUS wedding of Melissa and Jon that the wonderfully talented Clifford Brunk shot...
Ahhh, how gorgeous is this? Here are a few more fun details from Melissa...
Now down to the details.
My husband I designed all the stationery for our event—save-the-dates, engagement invitations, wedding invitations, thank you notes, and...

Today's featured wedding, shot by Clifford Brunk, is pure and simple gorgeousness. The bride is flawless with her Old Hollywood Glam style, the San Francisco venue is literally breathtaking and the photography is perfection.
From Clifford Brunk, the fabulous photographer...
Today we are featuring what could possibly be the most dramatically elegant wedding we've ever shown here on SMP. The bride is all glamour, the venue is stately and unbelievably gorgeous and the groom...well, he's madly in love and can't hide it. The wonderfully talented Clifford Brunk photographed the affair and the moments that he captured are so much more than simply a photograph, they are fine, fine art.
From the...
