I am a sucker for pink. Anything pink. Pink walls, pink pillows, pink dresses, the works. So when it comes to pink weddings, well...pitter patter central.

Then layer it with handmade details sitting pretty next to uber-elegant design and well, you have SMP perfection. This wedding that the FAB (and I mean more fab than the word fab could ever... [MORE]

I know that we see a ton of gorgeous weddings on SMP every day. Which also means that we see a ton of gorgeous venues grace our pages. But I have to say, secretly, my favorite venue of all time is the Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu. I think it might be the zebras that get to make their way into the wedding photos which is kind of like the coolest wedding detail EVER, but it's also the pure beauty of the space. The graceful, unfussy, totally movie star gorgeousness of the space. And this wedding... [MORE]
