Being a Boston girl, I love to feature local vendors. We’ve had the chance to work with a lot of them and let me just say that if you are lucky enough to tie the knot in Bean Town, you are going to be well taken care of. I chose this particular wedding to feature that the fabulous Linnea Tangorra planned, not only because it’s absolutely lovely…but also because it’s indoors! That makes two indoor weddings...

We originally posted Carey and John’s wedding slideshow on Saturday, because we thought it was a great reminder about how sweet, peaceful and joyful weddings can be!   Their great photographer, Eric Laurits had set the images to music on his blog, and gave us permission to play the slideshow over here on Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book Blog post.

But now that it’s Monday again, back...

I heart today’s real wedding. In a big way. We don’t feature the super girly affairs very often but when we do, I fall in love all over again. There is just something so sophisticated and chic about a pink and gray palette, particularly when you throw in the most gorgeous florals you’ve ever seen, perfect pieces by Rae Dunn and details by Cynthia Martyn that will...

Abby and her husband took a quick trip to Nashville, so I’m bending the rules a bit and showing off their wedding from a few years ago. Planning her own wedding led to the creation of Style Me Pretty so what better reason do I need?

Their wedding reception was at the classic Parker House in Boston. Abby is always urging you to do little things to make your wedding reflect your own personality. Let’s see what you think about her little touches at their reception …

Abby and Tait were married in August 2005 at the magnificent Old South Church in Boston. I love the expression on Tait’s face as he sees Abby walking toward him. I’ve seen him look at her like this many times since then, but this time … was the best.

The majority of Abby and Tait’s family live in Massachusetts.  An August wedding in her home town, Houston, would have been out of the question. Everyone in Massachusetts assured us that by the end of August, it...

We found Abby’s great make-up Artist, Lynne Avallone, through Abby’s cousin Kristine. Kristine is a fabulous hair-stylist. She and Lynne frequently work together at weddings in the Boston area. I think Abby was most worried about her hair. She — kind of knew what she wanted — but couldn’t totally express it. She didn’t need to worry. Kristine read her like a...

Abby and her husband are taking a well-deserved day off after a speaking engagement at Vanderbilt. Since I have carte-blanche on both the SMP Blog and the Little Black Book Blog, I’m going to go out on a limb and tell you just a bit about Abby and Tait.(Abby, if you’re reading this, breathe!)

Abby and Tait both attended Vanderbilt University, he a few years ahead of her. She knew ‘of’ him and he of her, but they didn’t really know each other personally...

Jen and Aaron were both doctors who met in Boston while in medical school. Jen was from New Orleans, where her father was the rabbi of the largest Jewish temple in the city. Originally, their fairy-tale wedding was to have been held in New Orleans; but when their carefully planned celebration (and...

Today is really fun…we have asked one of our Boston-based Little Black Book cinematographers, GENERATIONS videostories, to guest blog for us! Naomi and Jack are the force behind Generations and are sharing a behind-the-lens perspective on the weddings that they have shot!

People often ask me when we started GENERATIONS...

I was lucky…my cousin is an incredible hair stylist in Boston, so getting my hair done was a no brainer. If there is one thing that I am still getting questions about, it’s my hair. So many of my friends have requested photos to replicate for the their own wedding, which is such a huge compliment to my sweet cousin, Kristine. Here are some hair and beauty shots from my own wedding. Kristine and my make-up artist, Lynne, did all of the...
