These days when it comes to weddings you can get as creative as you want to. It’s perfectly acceptable to make your wedding as unique as you are.
When NYC restauranteur David Massoni and his fiance Rachel Bergman came to us to plan their October wedding, we decided to do a true New York wedding with a non-traditional twist. She was from Michigan, he hailed from Maryland, but New York is their home so we wanted to showcase who they are as a couple. The planning of this wedding was a balance between utilizing New York as a backdrop for the event and pulling together the details that were most important to the client.
Reader Inspiration Board - Tiffany
This next board was designed by Tiffany for her November wedding in Albany, NY. She and her fiance were looking for a color palette that wasn’t too girly but that reflected the warm autumn colors. Orange, raspberry and brown seemed to be the perfect hues….
I love the warm hues in this board…just seems so romantic and cozy!
Reader Inspiration Boards - Kayla
Our next reader designed board was sent to me by Kayla, who is planning wedding at her fiance’s farm in rural NH this October…
I would LOVE to attend this wedding…Rustic Chic, it’s one of my favorite wedding styles! Great job with this board, Kayla!
IF you are just checking in, we are talking to Danielle…an SMP reader who sent us the gorgeous details from her own real wedding!
From Danielle...
I knew the most important things to me when looking at my budget were location, pictures and food. I spent the majority of my money there and then really budgeted the rest. I knew I could have the wedding of my dreams if I just really put my mind to it and chose the right elements. I also wanted a wedding that was not the regular cookie cutter wedding – a wedding that exuded our love and our story. Very personal and fun!

Danielle has been sweet enough to share with us her Real Wedding Story…
We spent the 2004 Labor Day weekend with family and friends in Montana, where our family has a vacation house. I brought my newfound best friend, Melinda, and my brother, Cass, brought a few of his friends. Little did we all know that within six weeks of the trip, Lee Copeland (one of Cass’s best friends) and I would be dating, as well as Cass and Melinda. If you fast-forward a few years, I was in the midst of planning the wedding of my dreams with Lee, and Cass has just proposed to Melinda! We were going to be a great big family of best friends!
You guys are in for such a treat today. I am madly in love (and although I throw that around quite often, I really do mean it) with this SMP reader’s wedding. Danielle and her husband were married on a gorgeous old farm in Georgia…
The pair were married underneath a 200 year Oak tree in front of a beautiful lake, in a stunning Rustic Chic style. Danielle was on a budget and STILL managed to pull off this lovely wedding. I have more pictures and brilliant details coming, so stay tuned!
It’s cool and rainy here in Boston…the first sign that Fall is here! Although I am a Texas girl at heart and love lazy days in the sun, there is just something so warm and cozy about the first month of Fall. When I saw this beautiful wedding, shot by Elizabeth Messina (who by the way, has the most incredible photographs on her site), it just made me so inspired for this wedding season…
How beautiful is this palette of reds? It’s romantic, it’s sophisticated and yet it’s really inviting. I am going to do a little looking around and see if I can find the sources for some of the producs in these gorgeous shots. Check back a little later today!
