Fashion Installation

Abby Larson — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:30:44 +0000

I though that this crazy fashion shoot captured by Josh over at Bella Grace was just the thing to get us all smiling and wedding happy. The fashion photoshoot was done for Andrea Glass’s newest creations…including that insanely fun head-piece. The flowers were done by Boston’s Floral Couture.

You can see more photos from this spread on Bella Grace, along with some pretty awesome real weddings!

Inspiration Board Contest!

Abby Larson — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:30:08 +0000

In celebration of our brand new Look Book (which I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am about), we are hosting a Fashion Inspired Inspiration Board Contest! It’s been a while, I know. But, we are bringing SMP inspiration boards back with a passion and we are hoping you guys will help us get the creative juices kicking.

{Quick little side note…if you love the photos above, you are in for a treat! We are featuring this wedding tomorrow}

So here’s the deal. Choose 1 dress from SMP’s Look Book and build an inspiration board around it. It’s that simple. With 9 different designers to choose from, all of whom are completely awesome, this shouldn’t be too hard. The only challenge might be in choosing just one!

Inspiration boards should be submitted to me, abby{at}stylemepretty.com no later than next Friday, July 31st. Boards should be jpegs, ideally at 600 pixels across (we won’t be able to feature anything smaller than that). Proper photo credits, with links, must be included or your board won’t be eligible. That’s it, that’s all she wrote!

Oh WAIT…the prize. The winner will get a $250 shop card to who else but…Crate and Barrel! Can’t beat that!

Chic, Beach Wedding by Details, Details, II

Abby Larson — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 21:50:45 +0000

So, if you haven’t already fallen head over heels in love with the wedding that we are featuring, this next post is sure to do you in. Designed and planned by the fabulous Shelly Wakefield of Details Details and photographed by our forever talented photographers at Sweet Monday, the wedding is a lesson in all things fabulous.

The wedding was held in Malibu at the Sunset Restaurant. And just as you would expect from a couple this chic, the wedding was all about style. The talented team at White Lilac made sure that every flower was perfect, every tablescape stunning. And, it’s this perfect balance of city sophistication and a relaxed beach vibe that I love so much. Bottom line, it’s total awesomeness.

To see even more from this wedding, check out Sweet Monday’s blog. Oh and that incredible cake? Who else but Vanilla Bakeshop! SUCH a fun day of fashion inspired posts. Loved every bit of it!

* * *

A quick note for those of you that applied for the open positions…we received literally hundreds of resumes, so it is going to take us a while to give the TLC that each one deserves. We’ll have an update to you by next friday!

Oh and we are keeping our fingers crossed that our new fashion tool will be out the door for you to use on Monday! Say a little prayer for us!

Chic, Beach Wedding by Details Details

Abby Larson — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:35:02 +0000

So today, we’ve been all about fashion. Weddings where fabulous fashion reigned queen and the bride and groom really put their style stamp on the clothing they chose. In my opinion, I’ve saved the best for last. You might have seen this incredible gown on other blogs, because lets face it…it’s ridiculously awesome and bloggers swooped it up the moment it went public. But, you probably haven’t seen the entire affair in all it’s glory!

Designed by the fabulous Shelly Wakefield at Details Details and photographed by Sweet Monday Photography, the wedding is pure and total fashion bliss.

So much more on the way!!

Rock ‘N Roll Fashion

Abby Larson — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 18:45:18 +0000

The fabulous Rock ‘n Roll Bride featured the entire spread yesterday, but I wanted to take a minute to focus on this holy-cow-gorgeous bride. Photographed by the incredible Sara France, this bride is insanely lovely and I so appreciate her unique, tatooed style. Especially love that she chose a dress that is as sexy as it is chic.

Ring a ding ding! Don’t you think that she is so beautiful? The gown is by Va Lena Valentina, a couture designer out of San Diego. Shoes are by Jimmy Choo, who else!

You can see more from this amazing affair on Where in the World is France…Sara France’s awesome blog!

Organic and Fabulous Wedding Dress

Abby Larson — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:30:22 +0000

The AMAZING team at Fuller Edge sent me this next fashion inspired feature. The gown is completely organic, made by Deborah Lindquist, and completely fabulous, using organic linen and vintage lace. The photography ain’t so shabby either.

To see the ridiculously incredible shoot and wedding, click right here. Think vintage bicycles, bird cage veils and a couple that is all chic. It is more than worth the trip.

Fabulous Fashions by Coren Moore, III

Theresa — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:00:31 +0000

Just in case you weren’t already head over heels in love with these dresses by Coren Moore, I saved this particular group for last. I know I said it once, but I am truly in love with the gorgeous color scheme and sweet sophistication of these gowns. Enough of me, I’ll let the dresses speak for themselves, enjoy!

The detail work in these dresses is that perfect combination of chic without being fussy. From the subtle, scalloping on the neckline of the Francie Bridal Gown to the sweet ruffles on the bottom of the green Rose Dress. Each one is completely gorgeous in it’s own unique way!

Fabulous Fashions by Coren Moore, II

Theresa — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:22:19 +0000

Today is all about Coren Moore. Her bridesmaids dresses and wedding gowns are so incredibly lovely…perfect for a sweet, sophisticated affair.

The long bridal gown in the final photo is called the Chloe Gown and is featured with the accompanying Jillian and Avery bridesmaids dresses. The great thing about these dresses is that there are so many rich and beautiful colors to choose from on Coren Moore’swebpage. It is entirely possible to create almost any color combination you could imagine. Perfection!

A quick side note…the photos of these dresses are just so lovely, and were shot by the very talented Cappy Hotchkiss Photography. Its almost hard to believe these photos are from a fashion shoot and not a real wedding!
