A DIY affair should not be as chic, gorgeous, creative, and glam as the ones you talented couples send us. You amaze me with your fabulosity. Weddings like this Kentucky wedding have taken Do-It-Yourself weddings to an entirely new level, and I capital LOVE it. From the fan-tastic programs, to the mason jar centerpieces, to that delish cake from Martine's Pastries, the whole affair is phenom. Make sure to check out the rest of... [MORE]
This Southern fête is overflowing with pure Style Me Pretty style. It is simple, sweet and filled with oh-so pretty touches perfectly matched for a Kentucky garden wedding. There can be no wrong in my eyes when spring flowers like anemones drip from bouquets and centerpieces as they so beautifully do here. All the classic details with a vintage twist are radiant under the lens of Bella Grace Studios. ... [MORE]
When I watched this little vignette that Andy over at Portal Films put together, I literally cried. Which I guess isn't that telling considering that I cry about once a day because of something beautiful that one of my favorite vendors sends my way. But in all sincerity, the tears that I shed were completely authentic as this is one of the most beautiful little moments I've ever seen. Planned by the lovely and wonderfully talented mother...

I get emails here and there from brides who are looking to design a super chic wedding with their ceremony in a traditional church but with there reception in kind of a fun/funky spot. Well, that is just what today's bride did!

But, I will tell you this...EVERY town has hidden gems that are definitely... [MORE]
