A bit more from the gorgeous wedding we are featuring today!
As many of you know, we have a new baby in the Larson house. So, needless to say, I am up at the most random hours feeding her. Last night, while doing just that, I spent some time on A Charleston Bride’s website and got way too excited about some of the weddings that they are featuring in their gallery. You have to check them out if you get a minute! Melissa’s work has this rare combination of chic style and lovely approachability. Every wedding that she’s done is absolutely gorgeous!
A bit more from the fun, green and black inspired affair that Melissa at A Charleston Bride sent me…
I know that this particular color palette is one that many of you love, so it’s great to see it executed so exquisitely! It’s just such a striking palette…so fresh and chic. Plus, your bridesmaids will love you for letting them wear their favorite little black dress!
The gorgeous photos were taken by Richard Israel, one of our newest Little Black Book members (I love that so many of our LBB vendors work together on weddings and really support each other’s work). Richard’s photographs are completely beautiful…they are so vivid, so full of life. I am especially smitten with his color photographs, as the seem to just jump right off the page. Love, love, love Richard.
If yesterday’s real wedding was soft and romantic, today’s is lively and beautifully bold. Sent to me by Melissa at A Charleston Bride (this incredible event planner out of Charleston, SC), I fell instantly in love with this wedding…

I love this green, black and white color palette…it’s so sharp, so fun. And, it’s carried through literally every element, so the whole affair seems cohesive and seamless. I have more pictures coming of this wedding, so stay tuned!
Real Wedding: Karrie & Brian, II
Here are a few more pictures from today’s featured wedding…
All of these gorgeous photos were taken by Amy Squires…hands down, one of my favorite photographers in our Little Black Book! There are a few more images from this wedding on Amy’s blog, so definitely check it out when you have a chance!
There are three reasons why I am completely obsessed with today’s real wedding feature. First, the photographer is one of my favorite Little Black Book members, Amy Squires…her work is so pretty, I just love to brag on her behalf.
The second reason is that the bride, Karrie, is launching a new custom invitation business, called Posh Paperie, that is just too cute for words. I love to support up and coming businesses, so writing this post was a lot of fun for me.
Here are a few more detail shots from today’s featured wedding…
Thank you so much, Kacie, for sharing your gorgeous day with us! The vintage charm is just about as pretty as it gets, and I am sure that your vision has inspired many others to create a similar look for their own weddding!
I wanted to share a few more images and details from today’s featured wedding…
From Kacie…
My husband Brandon and I were married on July 12,2008 in the garden of my parents’ beautiful wine country home, standing right where they stood during their wedding ceremony 27 years ago, surrounded by 100 of our dearest friends and family. We wanted to create an intimate, hand-made, elegant, free-flowing, graceful, and vintage-inspired wedding…kind of like a modern-day Gatsby garden party. My childhood home, which is full of family history since my dad actually purchased it from my grandparents when I was a little girl, was the perfect setting.
Without question, my favorite days on Style Me Pretty are those where readers send in Real Weddings based on inspiration boards that we’ve featured in the past. So, when Kacie sent me pictures of her own recent wedding and the board that started it all, I changed the direction of today’s post!!
Kacie designed an inspiration board for on of our contests a while back. Here it is…
And here is how her insanely gorgeous wedding turned out…
photographs are all taken by Kacie’s childhood friend, Dawn Heumann, and her sister in law Lisa Dick
Real Wedding by Jen Fariello & Jennifer Carroll, II
I am loving today’s featured wedding, sent to me by photographer Jen Fariello, and am excited to share even more pictures and details…
From Jennifer Carroll (the mastermind behind this gorgeous wedding)… Tatiana Sainati were married on Sunday, July 6, 2008. This was a Sunday wedding which was important to Tatiana as an Italian tradition states that only widows or gals marrying for the second time marry on Saturdays. The wedding & reception were held at Veritas Vineyards in Afton, Virginia.
Thank you all so much for your great feedback with the site design! It looks like design A is the clear winner so far! Next week, I am going to put A against a new design to see what you guys think. This round however, will end on Sunday, so don’t be shy about commenting.
One of my readers asked if I would do a little round-up of some of my favorite gowns for 2007….Um, of course!!! I still honestly believe that my wedding gown is the most beautiful gown ever in the history of wedding gowns, but I suppose there are some pretty ones out there this season. Just teasing. To me, a wedding gown is a lot like a child. Yours is always better.
