Okay, lovelies. It’s time to get a little crazy here on SMP Florida. Well… not so much crazy as super inspirational and uber-gorgeous, but you get my point – we are about to have a TON of fun. Why, you ask? Well, we thought we’d jump start your weekend with a brand new Inspire Me Pretty Florida contest, which means a Saturday and Sunday spent perusing the SMP galleries AND crafting your FL dream day.

So, let’s get this party started with my very own dose of Sunshine State inspiration…
I’m calling this Natural Chic – a fabulous beachside soiree, glorious ocean views and rustic touches every which way you turn… it’s the toes-in-the-sand day I’ve always dreamed of. And now it’s your turn, SMPers – and we literally can.not.wait to see what you lovelies have up your sleeves. Plus, did I mention we’re giving away a $200 Macy’s Gift certificate to one lucky winner?!? Yep… this is going to be SOOO much fun.

A banjo, an orange grove and a sweet canoe trip around the lake – if you ask me, that’s a sure-fire combo for one very fabulous e-session. And when that fabulous e-session includes an all caps ADORABLE Groveland couple and some chic throwback threads (hello suspenders!), well… that’s a level of pretty that is indescribable, my friends. Thank goodness Jordan Weiland Photography snapped up every love-filled moment, because I’m seriously suggesting you spend the entire day soaking it all in. Join me in the gallery for SO MUCH more.

From Jordan Weiland Photography… This adorable rustic engagement session was set on the property of the bride’s family. You’ll love the bride’s dress and adorable details such as her fiance serenading her with a banjo, rowing around in a canoe and her beautiful ring perched up on the clothes line. The bride wanted the theme of the shoot to be “a simpler time,” and I think the look was achieved — it wasn’t too far of a stretch for this adorable couple. Photographing with the golden light streaming through the orange grove, they laughed, danced and played music throughout the night. This couple is super-sweet and very much in love. I hope you fall in love with their session as much as I did photographing it.

Oh, Florida… I seriously love you. I mean, where else can we bask in the glow of a beachy toes-in-the-sand soiree one day and a rustic barn fête the next? Right here in the Sunshine State, that’s where. And today’s darling Alachua wedding by Sunglow Photography? Well, it’s taking all of the Florida goodness I SOO adore and kicking it up a notch with a vibrant yellow and blue color palette and a stunning bride in boots. Yep, it’s a barn party like we’ve never seen and it’s filling the gallery with a whole lot of pretty. Join me there for SO MUCH more.

From Dustin of Sunglow Photography… I was recently honored to photograph the first wedding on Santa Fe River Ranch — the wedding of the farmer’s daughter. Located just north of Gainesville, Florida, the ranch is an absolutely beautiful location. This event was stacked with some of the top vendors in North Florida. Prange’s Florist created the most amazing arch, as well as all the reception details. The ladies got ready in a lodge on the property and were transported to the ceremony in a vintage horse and carriage. After a ceremony under ancient oak trees, we moved to the newly-built barn for the reception. It was truly an amazing event with great people.
