"Beth Helmstetter"

You know, in five years of writing about beautiful weddings designed by artists and designers that leave me FAR more starstruck than celebrities, I still get butterflies when one of those very names come through my inbox. Photographer, Jose Villa, of course, who I gush about regularly and who has become a real friend to me in this industry. But also Beth Helmstetter...

I'm pretty sure that in the history of SMP we've never featured a wedding with quite so many steal-worthy details. We're talking off the charts, hold the phone. slap-your-neighbor-they-are-so-good details. Okay, don't slap your neighbor, that would be weird. But you get the drift. This wedding is the brain child of Beth Helmstetter and the girls at Holly Flora, two of our favorite...

Destination weddings come in all facets from seaside chic to all out glamour and this Malibu wedding falls in a pretty place in between. It has a gorgeous, classic styling paired beautifully with ocean views and a fun, lighthearted spirit captured by Kortnee Kate Photography. Not to mention one really good looking cake courtesy of Vanilla Bakeshop. We always love a great cake shot...

Let me preface this next wedding by saying this...if I wasn't friends with Jose Villa, he would DEFINITELY be a little scared of me. Every time I get one of his weddings, I automatically become a class A lunatic, gushing like gushing was going out of style. I don't know whether he is simply the world's best photographer and can make any wedding look spectacular or he is blessed with super cool clients that know what style is all about...

And speaking of the fabulousness that is Laura Hooper...apparently, good taste runs in the family. Since we are celebrating Laura's soon-to-be nuptials, we thought we'd also share with you this little shindig that Laura and Beth Helmstetter put together for her sister's rehearsal dinner. It's gorgeousness defined and yet another example of just how talented these two...

I'm a self professed Laura Hooper stalker. I love, love, love her calligraphy work and from the looks of it, everyone else does too. I bet that if we crawled all of the past events we've featured on SMP, Laura's name would come up the most because, well...she's just that good. So when I heard that she is getting hitched in a few months, I just about burst with wedding joy. And if her engagement party, designed by the fabulous...

A good rehearsal dinner can be the perfect inspiration for just about any dinner party. Layer on an adorable dress, perfectly perfect details, homemade Asian fare, flowers tucked in tea tins and perfect cans of Sofia champagne. And well, it's beyond. Designed by the fabulous Beth Helmstetter and photographed by the equally fabulous Steve Steinhardt, this celebration is...

I am very rarely speechless when it comes to weddings. Sure, I swoon, obsess and generally go crazy about once a week over some fabulous something that comes into our inbox. But I am rarely speechless. This wedding has left me just that - speechless - so instead of trying to come up with an introduction that would do Aaron Delesie's wedding justice, I'll just quote our sweet Elaine when she saw this little gem..."holy freaking cow...

You guys might want to sit down for this next wedding. It's one of those weddings that you will look at over and over and over, hardly believing that it's real. I know, it's almost cruel to share a wedding THIS gorgeous, but I honestly couldn't help myself. And when you see the photographs that Aaron Delesie snapped...you'll understand why. Aaron is not only a good friend of ours, he is also one of the most talented, thoughtful...
