Durham Ranch is one of my all time favorite wedding venues. It's so me. Or at least the "so me" that lives in my very chic imagination. So when you add a bride and groom that are positively glowing, a design by Kathleen Deery and planner Laurie Arons that mimics the modern... [MORE]
This bride has a smile that is contagious. You'll catch the bug when you first lay eyes on her beautiful grin captured fabulously by Manchik Photography, and the smile will really take hold of you when you spend a few moments in the film from Rising Moon Films. We know the secret to this blushing bride's show stopping smile though - how could she not be radiantly beaming when... [MORE]
Every so often, a wedding graces my screen and my breath is caught in my throat. The pure beauty of an event can do this to me without warning - when it's as utterly gorgeous as this soiree, sent our way by Signature Events, LLC. Filled with romantic and personal details, the entire day, captured by Erica Velasco, was magic unfolding in every image. And every magical image was put into... [MORE]
A rogue dog couldn't help but admire this wedding up close, and we don't blame him. We've been giddily pouring over image after pretty image from Jen Fariello and have come to the conclusion that this day, featuring the floral design of Pat's Floral Designs, is unbelievably beautiful. The perfect sunlight over the gorgeous vineyards, the stunning couple, the great fall decor. [MORE]
It's kind of embarrassing the scene here at SMP. Swooning fits, blushing, goosebumps galore, and maybe a few tears, all thanks to this groom. This groom who literally built this amazing wedding for his bride. Jasmine Star Photography captured the romance, the glitz, the utterly beautiful day, designed by Modern LA Weddings + flora'd by...

My list of Favorite Things in the Whole Wide World just grew by two. Small North Carolina mountain towns and this gorgeous, stunning, classic, beautiful wedding. Both captured by Nam Nguyen Photography, the North Carolina setting is swoon worthy, thanks especially to this fabulous wedding. Any adjectives I forgot? How about permagrin-inducing, butterflies in the stomach, goosebumps on the arm, wonderful. That ought to cover it for now -... [MORE]
This bride did it so, so right. She planned a gorgeous day that took the beauty that is Maui, harnessed it, added to it, and made it BEYOND beautiful. Seen through the lens of Anna Kim Photography, this wedding is ridiculously romantic, ridiculously beautiful, and ridiculously timeless. We won't blame you if you spend a little extra time this morning ... [MORE]
We have a full-blown, high altitude induced wedding crush on this Colorado soiree, planned by LBBer Calluna Events. It's breaks every preconceived notion you've got about a mountain wedding at a summer camp. The rustic charm is ridiculously glamourous, the day is classic black tie layered with mason jars and wildflowers from Plum Sage Flowers. And the lovely couple are a... [MORE]
Weddings at the beach are total swoon fests no matter what. But when a fab NYC planner (L'Atelier Rouge) gets married and brings a little Manhattan to the Florida Keys? There are no words. Seriously, no words. Just gorgeous photos from Cengiz Ozelsel of Adagion - which are each worth AT LEAST 1,000 words, thank goodness. Because this blogger is speechless. [MORE]
What is it about sunflowers that make the whole room get a little brighter, a little warmer, and a little happier? We're not completely sure what it is, but whatever it is, we are sold. Adding sunflowers to this sunny Portland affair, planned by Bridal Bliss, was hands down the best choice the couple and Punch Portland could have made. It created an air of relaxed elegance that...

I once heard that a bride is not to do any manual labor while her mehndi designs are still visible on her hands or feet. Whether this is true or not, I can't really say - but I can say that it would definitely make for a great tradition! Along with the tradition, I find the intricate patterns SO beautiful - which is just one of the many reasons I love when it is incorporated in weddings like this gorgeous Canadian soiree, planned by... [MORE]
Every now and then we get our hands on a wedding so breathtaking, so pick-your-jaw-up-off-the-floor beautiful, we can hardly believe our luck. After all, we take pride in finding the prettiest of pretty fetes to fill your days with - weddings that push the definition of gorgeous and capture the spirit of the readers we know and love. And although I fall hopelessly in love nearly every hour on SMP, I'm not sure I've ever fallen quite as hard as I have with today's stunner. The kind of wedding... [MORE]
There are few things in this world that we love more than a wedding that is perfectly planned and designed to highlight the special couple. To bring out their personalities. To share their love of each other and love of style with their nearest and dearest. One Fine Day Events does this phenomenally. In this wedding, captured by Kate Webber Photography, she planned a sunny, happy... [MORE]
