From Inspiration to Wedding: The Wedding Film

You're definitely going to need to grab a couple of tissues for this next feature. You know what? Grab the whole box. Libby's wedding photographs were truly gorgeous but to see the wedding really come to life thru the film is like being there all over again. Elysium did an absolutely beautiful job capturing the spirit of the day, the charm of Libby and Patrick's personality and the total style that went into every last detail. I've literally watched this clip 20 times and every time I do...I... [MORE]

From Inspiration to WEDDING: The Photography

There is so much that I want to tell you about this wedding...about how even though not everything turned out exactly as we envisioned, it was still complete perfection. About how we had to let ideas go to the wayside, we had to comprise, we had to think really creatively...and yet it all still turned out beautiful. But you know what, there is no better way to tell the story than with the photographs that... [MORE]

From Inspiration to WEDDING: The Design

Now for the REALLY good stuff. I've probably looked at these images a thousand times. And every time I do, I see something new. Something great. This is the wedding of Libby and Patrick. The wedding that Sarah True designed and styled, that we spent hours and hours on the phone dreaming about, that we built with love for two very special people. And despite the fact that we were literally faced against a... [MORE]

Connecticut Wedding with Nautical Know How

You are about to see my personal wedding Achilles heel. This is my all time ultimate wedding weakness. We all have one - for some it's the DIY backyard wedding and for others it's the elegant ballroom wedding.  Mine is the classic, New England wedding with nautical inspiration.  I can't pin point what exactly it is that makes me crumble each and every time I see one executed to perfection, but as soon as I lay eyes on the rope knots, or the sailboats, or the nautical flags my heart sets...

This next feature has a tad bit of everything – bagpipes, peonies, margaritas, a mariachi band and an ENTIRE island for all of the festivities. You wouldn't think these elements would blend together so beautifully but they so completely and totally do. Captured by the talented Corinna Raznikov, this fete is sure to put a smile on your face. Don't forget to hop on over to the... [MORE]

Holiday Wedding Inspiration by Lucinda Wesson, III

As with most photoshoots, it takes an army of people to really bring it to life. Here are some thoughts from the major players behind today's eye candy! From the photographer, Anna Sawin...This incredible visual feast, laid out in sumptuous colors, tones and textures as far as the eye could see, was a photographer’s field day, particularly against the stunning winter backdrop of Elihu Island and the cozy family...

There is something completely magical about today's photoshoot. It's very Anthropologie, very dreamy.

Today is another sparkly, glittery, all together lovely day on Style Me Pretty. Since weddings are winding down for the year, we thought it would be fun to feature a stunning, holiday inspired photoshoot that a handful of our favorite vendors designed just for SMP.

From Inspiration to Reality: The Design, Part III

There were quite a few really amazing vendors that took the time to contribute in HUGE ways to our shoot. For one, the lovely and oh so talented Yumiko of Hana Floral Design did all of the flowers for us, focusing on simple, adorable blooms. She used carnations, which are a super cute and really affordable alternative, that she packed tightly into little, red latte bowls. She also used ranunculus, dahlias and spider mums tucked...

My... [MORE]

Real (Exquisite) Wedding: Katie and Colin

This is a tough one ...  Justin and Mary Marantz sent us some extraordinarily beautiful wedding photos a while back and we loved them so much, we just had to ask them to send us more. Now, we have them and it's soooo hard not to show them all! Katie and Colin were married in September at Stonington, Connecticut. At this point in the story, we would usually quote from the bride. [MORE]
