Holy gorgeous flower explosion! Flowerwild took it to an entirely new level of lovely in this Palm Springs wedding, and I am loving every minute of it. Actually, let me be honest, this entire fête is upping the ante on prettiness, and you won't hear this wedding blogger complain one little bit. Instead I'll be gushing and gasping over all the gorgeous images captured by ... [MORE]
Your Friday lunch break just got a whole lot prettier! This Malibu wedding is the epitome of perfection with gorgeous bunches of blossoms, tablescapes full of interesting shapes and texture, aisle style fit for a fairytale, and pretty as can be al fresco dining overlooking the Pacific. Does it really get any better? Major props go out to Jasmine Star Photography and... [MORE]
For a sleek, modern take on the ballroom wedding, one needs to look no further than The Parker Palm Springs. Its ultra cool backdrop plays ever so nicely with the crazy gorgeous blooms by Flowerwild, the perfect-in-every-way details coordinated by Save The Date Events and the beautifully captured... [MORE]
As someone who has been married for nearly 6 years (holy cow!) and as someone who sits in front of a computer staring at wedding gorgeousness for sometimes 10 hours a day (again, holy cow!), you would think that I am starting to turn a good shade of green. With envy that is. But the reality is that until today, I kind of assumed that I'd had my last hoorah. Unfortunately for my husband, today is that day that train of reasoning left the building and I am now on the annual vow renewal movement... [MORE]
The first time I laid eyes on this field of lavender was when we featured this beloved SMP wedding that Jose Villa and Lisa Vorce did. Aside from the fact that the wedding was CRAZY gorgeous and the bride + groom were basically supermodels, it was those jaw droppingly gorgeous backdrops that made a... [MORE]
We can always count on Details Details to produce a total swoon-worthy affair and this Laguna Niguel Wedding captured by Boutwell Studio is about as swoony as you can get. Usually it only takes one gorgeous dress, one dreamy bouquet or maybe the holy grail of cakes to get our hearts pitter pattering but today we have ALL OF IT, a trifecta of wedding gorgeous. This is... [MORE]
The fabulous Kate Holt, at Flowerwild in Southern California, is kind of like my flower hero. Her work totally and completely blows me away...of course because it's beautiful, but also because it has this "kate" effect, where you find yourself completely giddy the minute you open one of her picture perfect weddings. And this one, photographed by the equally talented... [MORE]
Yes, yes, yes! The twinkling stars have aligned for this gorgeous wedding and the result is nothing short of magic. Lets set the scene for you. The Marvimon – rustic bohemia and ultra cool marrying spot, draped in luscious wild flora by uber talent Kate Holt of Flowerwild and we can't forget Marlin Munoz, the crazy talented photographers poised and ready to capture all... [MORE]
I've been really excited about this feature for a long time. If you read SMP you know that we're kind of obsessed with Jose Villa and Joel Serrato. Both are total geniuses (is that a word?). So when we heard that they teamed up with none other than Kate Holt of Flowerwild to document... [MORE]
So, if you haven't died and gone to heaven already...we have MORE from Jessica Claire's latest and greatest photography workshop. I am beyond loving the Bohemian vibe that Kate at Flowerwild infused into the wedding style and the details that Rebecca at Duet Weddings added are, well, perfection. If you are just as... [MORE]
After an amazing weekend, we are rested, relaxed and coming out of the gates swingning this lovley Monday morning. If you read SMP regularly, you already know that the word obsessed doesn't even scratch the surface when it comes to how we feel about Jessica Claire. Whether it's her own insanely gorgeous wedding that we are... [MORE]
Okay, if you aren't already sitting down...you probably should be. I've saved the best of today's wedding for last. The reception tables. These reception tables are quite possibly the most beautiful tables I've ever seen in my entire life and have completely inspired me to start collecting chandeliers as a hobby. A chandelier in every room of my house, maybe two. My poor husband. Jose Villa, bless you for sending me a wedding... [MORE]
So, if obsession equals Jose Villa. It's pretty clear that this wedding is obsession taken to an entirely new level. The best part though, is that the bride used Style Me Pretty as inspiration during her planning process. I know, shameless. I just had to get that little piece of ego out the door and let's be serious...it's probably not the "best part." The flowers, the chandeliers, the ridiculous photographs all qualify for that title. [MORE]
I was at a wedding event this past weekend and one of the keynote speakers said "I would so much rather see a couple put their money towards just a few hours with a great photographer, than settle on a photographer that they don't love." I could not have said it better myself. The keepsakes that a great photographer can provide are priceless. Which of course is exactly why I love to brag about Jose Villa so much. His photographs are... [MORE]
I have been dying to get this wedding out the door. You guys know that my love affair with all things Jose Villa is pretty huge. But at this point, I would only be able to categorize it as an obsession. And this wedding that Jose shot is total insanity. It takes everything that I love...vintage chandeliers, garden roses, organic detailing, French inspired elegance...and smashes it all together in a total piece of wedding heaven. And... [MORE]
