Going out with a bang. Truer words have never been spoken as we wrap up this week with a big ol' Texas celebration with even bigger heart. And we have the picture perfect musings of The Nichols to thank for all this beauty. Seeing the world through their lens is one of our favorite past times and this view is BEYOND. It's an impeccable mix of natural details, crazy gorgeous flowers by... [MORE]
It's been awhile since we've laid our eyes on a gorgeous wedding photographed by The Nichols, but today is the day loves and this wedding was completely worth the wait. It's sweet simplicity with a lovely organic feel all crafted by The Nouveau Romantics. The flowers alone are total heart-palpitaters and then there's the all white backdrop of ... [MORE]
Breathtaking doesn't even begin to describe this modern yet rustic beauty. Because although this soiree is, indeed, breathtaking - that simple word just doesn't do these gorgeous images by The Nichols justice. It's a dinner party under the stars and chandeliers - where rustic and modern design mix and mingle, and even if there isn't word to describe this pretty as can be party, the ... [MORE]
It seems that my love affair with a great wedding always starts with a gorgeous pair of shoes. What can I say? I'm a lover of fine footwear. And in the case of this Texas wedding, it didn't stop at the Bride's feet. It moved on to the unique venue, The Landmark, that called this wedding home. Of course, The Nichols always have me at hello with their lovely photography... [MORE]
Every wedding dress has its story. Hearing how that oh so important gown was chosen always has my full attention, and this lovely gown has a darling story indeed. Custom made and inspired by the bride's grandmother's dress, it just proves that timeless elegance is just that - timeless. Not to mention that bow just tied itself around my dress-loving heart! Swoon! The entire affair is just as perfect and captured in a way that only... [MORE]

Although we've recently been on the hunt for perfect indoor wedding, exquisite ballroom affairs and super chic modern soiree's...we simply couldn't resist posting this straight-from-the-heavens vintage style celebration. It was, after all, photographed by The Nichols, who we seriously love here at SMP and it did happen to have a bride that DIY-ed the wedding from the save the dates up. So all in all, we thought it fit right in on the... [MORE]
I have a confession. After four years and over 5,000 real weddings, I am officially a color convert. Don't get me wrong...I'd still saturate my world in white if I didn't have two very messy little kids. But when it comes to weddings, especially those that glisten in the gorgeous Texas sun, I kind of love me some color. Bright pops of gorgeous color. Especially when it's photographed by the crazy talented duo The Nichols. And this... [MORE]
Once in a while we get some wedding inspiration that makes me want to get married all over again. That was certainly the case when I saw this sweet and romantic spring photo shoot from The Nouveau Romantics and The Nichols.

There's nothing quite like a good ol' Texas Ranch wedding, especially one photographed by The Nichols. And they know just how we like it...pretty with a whopping side of gorgeous details to fawn over. Held at the George Ranch Historical Park, this vintage inspired party is as unique as it is fun. The prevailing theme for the day? "Ad Vitam" - don't worry I googled it for you all. [MORE]
The Nichols never cease to amaze me with their portfolio of crazy gorgeous weddings and honestly, they always manage to shoot the COOLEST couples with picture perfect style and the dreamiest of details. But this Austin wedding literally stopped me dead in my tracks as soon as I spotted the Bride and her lovely red lipstick. She is a total knock-out and the wedding? Beautiful vintage details and over the top romance all styled... [MORE]
Peaches are my absolute favorite summer fruit. I literally spend the year awaiting their arrival at the farmers' market, so when I saw how Gina and Kyle incorporated fresh peaches throughout their summer wedding, my mouth was watering immediately. Gina, the bride, works for Little Black Book member 2 Dine 4 Fine Catering in Austin, so I knew right away that the... [MORE]
Hip Hip Hooray for The Nichols! They always rock our socks off with their gorgeous photography and their latest and greatest creation straight from a family farm in Texas is beyond brilliant. In fact, it's downright charming. If you are a fan of horses and wildflowers and all around pretty, you might want to take a seat. There were so many awesome details, we couldn't leave any out. But you all don't mind, do you? And guess what, there is A TON more where these came from in the... [MORE]
Be still my heart. I love this next wedding so much I could marry it. It is the PERFECT example of an insanely stylish couple mixed with casual elegance and the most perfect rustic detailing. Throw in fabulous photography from our favey faves, The Nichols, and I think we might have a home run here. Scratch that, we most definitely have a home run. And that rose colored dress? Don't even get me started.
It's Chantale, once again from La Belle Bride, and I'm back with some more pictures of this eclectic wedding that combines eco-chic, vintage and a touch of modern, all rolled up into one sleek and charming wedding. Style-wise this wedding is truly a treat, isn't it? For me, yellow and gray are two colors that look fabulous together. The color scheme seems to flow perfectly throughout the day from the... [MORE]
