We certainly have put together the most delectable treat for you this morning. It's not every day that we get to share not only a spectacular Napa Valley wedding but the fun, chic rehearsal dinner that preceded it. Bliss Event Productions helped put together both stylish events and Adeline and Grace Photography was there to capture it all. We're going to kick... [MORE]
Diana M. Lott Photography + SMS Photography captured this Napa fête and one word comes to mind. TIMELESS. From the elegant hydrangeas, to the classic alfresco tablescape and all of the other pretty bits coordinated by Clink Events, we are all a flutter over this little nugget. [MORE]
There is just something about Docuvitae. Every wedding they touch just works. Remember this gem? It doesn't matter if they're in the middle of nowhere capturing a intimate, DIY wedding or in a big, busy city, working their magic on a luxe, elaborate affair, simply put, they create magic. So when this California wedding hit my inbox, I... [MORE]
Let me just preface this first wedding by saying I KNOW we post a ton of California nuptials and the majority of those hale from a little spot of Heaven called Napa but seriously, sometimes they are just too pretty to pass up. So what to do with a gorgeous wedding held on a private estate in wine country and photographed to total perfection by onelove photography? Why we blog the heck out of it, of course. Because in the end, it... [MORE]
Wine Country is the absolute ideal spot for a gorgeous fall wedding and The Carneros Inn is definitely at the top of that list. Think a plethora of pumpkins, yummy market fresh eats, the most dreamy outdoor weather with just a touch of crisp fall air. Sounds pretty amazing, right? These California nuptials, photographed by the fab Sylvie Gil, have all... [MORE]
In keeping with the spirit of three day weekends, last summer hurrahs and a chance to don your best summer whites before you become a big fashion faux pas (unless you are the bride of coarse), we have an uber cute Rehearsal party to share. That's right, I said party because not only did this wedding group eat and drink some fab food and wine but they also partied it up on the croquet field to the tunes of a local jazz band. That sounds like an absolute blast to us! Captured by... [MORE]
One of the best things that can happen to us at SMP is to know that we were instrumental in helping one of our readers find inspiration ... and to know that they found some of their wedding vendors in our Little Black Book of VIP wedding professionals. You have to KNOW that not just anybody can be a member, right? I mean ... it takes a LOT of research and recommendations to be invited. [MORE]
I know we've been on California overload these days (and I swear, we have some amazing non-Cali weddings in the pipeline) but I just couldn't resist this one. And I've decided that orange bicycles just might be the absolute best accessories for a wedding, especially when the bride and groom met while on a bike ride! Tanja Lippert sent us this SO stinking cute wedding she shot in Healdsburg, California and we are ALL ABOUT... [MORE]
Napa, a.k.a. wedding and wine country, set the scene for this purple infused soiree at The Carneros Inn. The day was filled with charm and a delightfully cute couple captured by Tiffany Fosnight of Adeline & Grace Photography. This is but a snippet of loveliness. Be sure to check out the... [MORE]
Do all of you know that I'm Abby's mom? And that all this wedding love started many (many) years ago when Abby's oldest sister announced her engagement? Although there are twelve years difference in their ages, Abby & her two sisters' weddings each ... were the best times of my life. Even after raising my daughters, planning their weddings with them brought a new sense of intimacy and an even deeper friendship with each of them. The reason I mention this is because I got the...

Part two of our first real wedding of the New Year. That sounds so important doesn't it? Well, the wedding was pretty special, more than deserving of the title. I mentioned in my last post that my favorite thing about this affair (and my favorite new wedding trend for that matter) is the different hued bridesmaids dresses. So cute, such a fun way to infuse color, such a great way to give each girl a dress that she truly loves. But the adorableness didn't stop there. The reception was... [MORE]
Olive Route, a letterpress studio in Berkeley, California, crafted all of the paper products for the wedding. From letterpress invitations to hand drawn maps of the grounds, each paper accessory complimented the style of the day to perfection. We heart Olive Route big time at SMP so we weren't surprised in the slightest to see Olivia's designs take center stage. A good dessert buffet will get me every time...but one... [MORE]
Last week we held a jump-for-joy worthy giveaway to celebrate one of our all time favorite destination locales, Napa Valley. You remember the one right?!? The one where one lucky SMP reader wins $2100 worth of products and services! To enter, all that we asked was that you leave us a brief comment telling us YOUR dream destination. We wanted to know if you could get hitched in any spot in the world, what would it... [MORE]
This is one of those ... WOW ... kind of weddings sent to us by Tiffany at Adeline & Grace Photography. On their blog, Tiffany, remarked that she was literally on 'visual overload' after... [MORE]
Pretty much any wedding in Napa is gorgeous, but when you combine the awesome wedding venue of Auberge du Soleil with a drop-dead gorgeous bride wearing a truly amazing Vera Wang gown ... hmmm ... fabulous! One of our newest Little Black Book photographers, Wayne Yuan sent us Susan and Erich's beautiful spring... [MORE]
