Whether it’s that they just luck out with great clients or they simply work beautifully together, the three vendors that helped to build this affair are simply genius.

We are back from a whirlwind weekend in Aspen, where we attended one of my dear friend’s RIDICULOUSLY gorgeous wedding. Seriously one of the prettiest weddings I’ve ever seen (we’ll have more details on Backstage when it launches this week). It was a much needed vaca and has left me totally invigorated and excited to get back to SMP.

And the wedding that we are featuring today is the perfect way to kick off the week…filled to the brim with elegance and style....

Another really great way to bring textures, colors and even prints into your wedding style is to use a box to house your flowers. Whether it’s a great old wooden box that you scored at a flea market or paper boxes covered in your favorite fabric, a box will add an unexpected touch to your decor that will really go a long way…

One of my very favorite ways to add a punch of color to your decor is through fabulously chic, colored vases. Whether they are rich in golds and silvers or they are a bit more funky in teal blues and pinks, this collection of colored containers should inspire you to think creatively when designing your centerpieces…
