I think it's safe to say that I need to keep my little blogger booty away from Napa, because after this fantastic affair, I am worried I would never come home. The big, gorgeous sky, the gently rolling mountains, amazing color of that foliage are all calling my name. The wedding, seen through the lens of Adeline & Grace Photography, is filled to the brim with all... [MORE]
For anyone that is a regular SMP reader you know that I am a total sucker for two things...perfect white weddings and anything Jose Villa. So what do you get when you put those two little numbers together? You get a very happy blogger who just happens to be dorking out on many different levels...from squeals of glee, to wedding butterflies, to maybe even a high kick or two. Or three. You get a dancing, twirling, whirling... [MORE]
This Napa Valley wedding by Pineapple Productions could easily be categorized in our Destination or Texas blogs as the bride, groom and guests traveled all the way from Dallas to California just for the occasion. Lucky for them, they were treated like royalty as soon as they... [MORE]
I definitely have tomboy tendencies but show me anything with a Parisian flair and I turn into a big squealing girly girl.

And how cute are those custom cake toppers made to look like the bride and groom down to her... [MORE]
This Napa Valley wedding by Lisa Lefkowitz has left me completely and utterly breathless.

Okay, if you aren't already sitting down...you probably should be. I've saved the best of today's wedding for last. The reception tables. These reception tables are quite possibly the most beautiful tables I've ever seen in my entire life and have completely inspired me to start collecting chandeliers as a hobby. A chandelier in every room of my house, maybe two. My poor husband. Jose Villa, bless you for sending me a wedding... [MORE]
So, if obsession equals Jose Villa. It's pretty clear that this wedding is obsession taken to an entirely new level. The best part though, is that the bride used Style Me Pretty as inspiration during her planning process. I know, shameless. I just had to get that little piece of ego out the door and let's be serious...it's probably not the "best part." The flowers, the chandeliers, the ridiculous photographs all qualify for that title.

I was at a wedding event this past weekend and one of the keynote speakers said "I would so much rather see a couple put their money towards just a few hours with a great photographer, than settle on a photographer that they don't love." I could not have said it better myself. The keepsakes that a great photographer can provide are priceless. Which of course is exactly why I love to brag about Jose Villa so much. His photographs are... [MORE]
I have been dying to get this wedding out the door. You guys know that my love affair with all things Jose Villa is pretty huge. But at this point, I would only be able to categorize it as an obsession. And this wedding that Jose shot is total insanity. It takes everything that I love...vintage chandeliers, garden roses, organic detailing, French inspired elegance...and smashes it all together in a total piece of wedding heaven. And... [MORE]
