We're totally loving the bits of vintage chic mixed with a dash of whimsy that give this floral filled fete such a unique look. The ladies at Bliss Weddings and Events truly outdid themselves with the design and planning and we can't get enough of the ribbon-tied balloons and pretty mercury glass candlesticks. Each and every detail was snapped to perfection by ... [MORE]

Despite the fact that you see one outdoor wedding after another on SMP (and around the web, frankly), we are always, always, always on the search for really beautiful indoor, ballroom style weddings. I had a ballroom wedding myself so I know just how tricky they can be when it comes to design. The yucky carpets, the banquet chairs...you know what I'm talkin' about. Well this ballroom wedding is anything but yucky. It's flat out GORGEOUS and the bride did an incredible job infusing her day... [MORE]

Do you know how ~ when you're at a movie and it's really spellbinding ... and toward the end you become totally mesmerized ~ waiting. And then there's a crescendo that builds higher and higher until the final moment. You are full of emotion and drained of emotion. You just sit there. The entire theatre is quiet. No one moves. Everyone is wrapped up in their own thoughts while the impact of the ending soaks in. That's what Michelle and Michael's Black Label film from... [MORE]

And while the technology of wedding documentation has grown by leaps and bounds, we find ourselves appreciating the older artistic styles of the past even more now than we did back then! We've shown you several examples this week of the Super 8 style of cinematographry that has become popular with brides and grooms. Today, we'd like to show you a film produced by Andy Jackson of...

Talk about teasers! This has to be the teaser of all wedding teaser photos! Candy buffets, step aside. The child in me would kill to have cotton candy at a very posh, ever-so-elegant wedding!

And enjoy every moment of the splurge! If your curiosity is just too much ... you can see... [MORE]
