January is the quintessential Winter Wonderland Wedding month - so when the lovely ladies over at The Gown Shop sent over a winter inspired shoot in my snowy home state (Michigan) - I was excited. And then I saw the line up of the fabulous vendors who worked on the shoot - abby rose photo, Petals Planning Company... [MORE]

Weddings like this southern California soiree speak to my soul.

Orange Blossom Special Events worked seamlessly alongside the couple to help create this feeling - which was then brilliantly captured by... [MORE]
We all love a good wedding film here at SMP. Sometimes it's the tear jerkers that get us going. Other times, when a creative video, with something we've never seen before hits our inbox, it quickly becomes the new Must See in the SMP offices. And sometimes, we find a video that is just so happy, so energetic, that we can't help but smile all day long after watching, sharing, and re-watching again. So today, we're sharing a fantastic film from... [MORE]
From the moment I opened this Charleston wedding, I have not been able to stop soaking up every romantic, classic detail. It was the Monique Lhuillier dress that drew me in. That luxe, gorgeous dress. I quickly fell in love with the grounds of Middleton Place, and was enamored by the sword ceremony - and the sense of history it added to the special day. Every fantastic detail... [MORE]
Happy Halloween LBBers! Before you start your day with what I'm sure are some of the prettiest costumes, most delish treats, and spookiest parties, I just had to share something with a little Halloween-vibe.

You see, La Vie le Gage, along with the amazing team who put... [MORE]

We might have just stumbled across a new type of wedding and I'm in love. The beautiful bride who takes center stage, with her handsome groom of course, wanted a "Modern Vintage" feel to her wedding. Cue classic colors and styles, with a modern edge - traditional black bridesmaid dresses, matched with coral bouquets, a gorgeous lace gown, paired brilliantly with a fun floral hair fascinator, silver teapots, center of each table, holding those modern bridesmaid bouquets.

Ooh! Events is right! I was so enamored by this South Carolina plantation wedding that a little Ooh! most definitely slipped my lips over so many of the details.

You're going to laugh at me. Well no, first you'll gasp, then you'll laugh. I don't have a big sweet tooth. I know, I know. As a wedding blogger, who oohs and aahs over beautiful cakes and cupcakes daily (I really do love looking at them), I should love sweets. But I just don't. And that leads me to - I was very naive about the options out there for cupcake wrappers. Bake them in a white paper wrapper, and call it a day. Well, a few weeks ago, we featured... [MORE]

The whole affair seemed to take place around the gorgeous dress, from the beautiful cake from... [MORE]

A DIY affair should not be as chic, gorgeous, creative, and glam as the ones you talented couples send us. You amaze me with your fabulosity. Weddings like this Kentucky wedding have taken Do-It-Yourself weddings to an entirely new level, and I capital LOVE it.
