"Santa Barbara"

The end all be all of tablescapes can be found folded into this affair. The table I speak of stretches as far as the eye can see, is loaded with elegant details by Toast and comes complete with a canopy of twinkling candles over head. In one word: amazing. But this wedding is so much more than that perfect tablescape. It's a collection of gorgeous images by Raya Carlisle that...

We have been itching to share the adorableness of this couple for some time now, and we couldn't be more excited that today is finally the day. And although I would love to blabber on and on (as I tend to do) about just how amazing this couple is, and how they are most definitely going to live happily every after - I am going to instead pass that baton to the Groom. Because his description might go down in SMP history as the very best, and one look below and you'll know why. So thank you ...

We have a little afternoon delight for connoisseurs of the wedding variety. It's a mash-up of Mindy Weiss and Elizabeth Messina all afternoon and we honestly can't think of a better pairing.

And that pretty that I speak of? It shines extra bright when...

When a wedding this pretty comes across our desk, it's not just a happy day. It's like this big sigh of "this is why I am never allowed to complain about my job" happy day. Because in life, beauty this rich and layered is decidedly rare and it easily reminds you that even on your cloudiest day, when it comes to weddings, all is good in the world.

As I sit here at my computer on a otherwise normal Monday afternoon, tears are slowly trickling down my face. Those tears? They are from reading this Bride's description of not only her beautiful big day, but also her love. Her through thick and thin, unconditional love for her amazing groom, who happens to be surviving cancer. But on this day, this beautiful day captured by ...

Santa Barbara is sort of my happy place. Though I've never been there. But sitting in my chilly, snowed-in Boston office, Santa Barbara just seems like warmth and happiness and everything beautiful in the world. And I'm pretty sure that if the universe is listening, it will pick up my house and move it right plop in the center of this little slice of heaven. Hmm, you're probably right. Next best thing? Living vicariously through a Santa Barbara wedding as pretty as this one and the inspiring...
