We gave you a little sneaky peek of Amy and Matt’s wedding in the making yesterday, but now it’s time to see the actual affair and all of the incredible details. Plus, Amy is stopping by to share some behind the scenes secrets and inspirations!

Paula and Mike of Luna Photography are the talent behind the gorgeous photographs. Although they aren’t a budget studio, Amy and Matt saw the beauty in their work (and so...

Real Wedding: Amy + Matt

So, for those of you that are curious, I got the idea for today’s feature after I got an email from a sweet and loyal reader who was hoping that I would show her a few more $5,000-$10,000 as her family has been hit hard by the economy and she and her fiance are footing the bill for their affair. And yet like all brides, she still wants a beautiful wedding.

Sounded reasonable enough to me! So, I sent out a twitter (or a tweet, however you are supposed to say it) and ended up...

Real Wedding: Jess and Christian, II

This just might be the cutest, budget friendly wedding I’ve ever seen. The couple was going for a “Wonder Years backyard BBQ.” Jess and Christian wanted their guests to get a taste of the city they now call home, so they held their wedding in downtown LA at the Oviatt Penthouse. They hired the fabulous Courtney Toney of Joyful Weddings and Events and more...

Since the beginning, I’ve been trying to show our readers that weddings come in so many different shapes and sizes. There are million dollar brides who don’t want to spend a lot on their affair, there are budget brides who are willing to splurge a bit. There are perfect backyard affairs, unbelievable ballroom fete’s. There are weddings with 40 guests and weddings with 400 guests. There is simply no longer a right or wrong way to throw a wedding.

So, when the fabulous...

Real Wedding: Jaime and Todd, III

Love. Love. Love. This wedding is one of my new favs that we’ve featured on SMP. As mentioned earlier, ALL of the weddings that we are featuring today were designed for somewhere in the area of $5,000 – $10,000 and yet this one, seems like it could have cost much more. There is just something about the easy elegance, the soft and pretty style, the absolute love.

A few quick details from the fabulous photographer behind the affair, Kelly of more...

This wedding, more than any other I’ve seen in a long time, is all about the love. Jamie and Todd are clearly smitten with each other, in that completely adorable first love kind of way, and it’s so refreshing to see that they allowed that love to take center stagt

Today is going to be a really fun day on SMP. All of the weddings that we are featuring fall somewhere in the $5,000-$10,000 budget range, each with their own sense of gorgeousness and total charm. The first, was sent to me by the wonderful Kelly of Kelly Melissa Photography and she sums it up perfectly…”I am so in love with this wedding, I want to marry it.”

First off, the adorable bride and groom...

I try to show a little something for everyone here on SMP…some weddings more modern than others, some more lavish than others. All of which fall under the oh-so-chic umbrella. Well, my friends, this wedding is SO Style Me Pretty. With the dusty, vintage style photography, the perfect details, the bride that is all about approachable elegance. Loving every little bit!

From Simone…After the ceremony, guests were greeted into the cocktail reception with champagne coupe’s...

Today we are featuring the most gorgeous wedding….filled with sweet, charming details and a bride that is absolutely lovely. Being involved in events and such, she was able to really design a wedding that reflected her own chic, effortless style. Where friends and family took center stage and where pure romance wasn’t designed but simply fell into place.

Her budget for the wedding was $17,000. Some of you may consider this a fabulous wedding for that budget, others are...
