It's time for another DIY Holiday Project and this one, by Beth Helmstetter, is total perfection. Whether you gift it to your girlfriends for the holidays or you use it as decor in your own affair, the end result is pure loveliness. Oh and by the way, Beth's blog is FULL of inspiration and ideas that are so easy to fall in love with, so easy to obsess over.
"Beth Helmstetter"
Max Wanger is kind of a celebrity in the blog world. His blissfully dreamy photographs are beloved by bloggers and brides alike so when I saw his name in my inbox, my heart did a little flutter. And the wedding he sent didn't disappoint. The bride actually read SMP every day...so if we had even a tiny hand in the gorgeousness of this wedding, well...it's a proud day indeed!

I love featuring weddings like this one. Aside from being photographed by one of my all-time favorite artists, Max Wanger AND being coordinated by one of my all time favorite designers, Beth Helmstetter....this wedding was a total TLC affair. The bride pored herself into the details, into ensuring that their day refelected their own unique personalities, their own unique styles. And...
For anyone that has ever spent time in Napa Valley, you know that it's basically like a little piece of heaven. There is just something about the organic elegance of the town, something that screams sophistication and warm, approachable style. So today, I have two really pretty Napa-esque weddings to share that I know you are going to love. And the best part about each one is that they have details that anyone can replicate...on any budget, with any weddings style.
The first wedding...
I love it when Beth Helmstetter sends me things. She is such a talent when it comes to picture perfect details, thoughtfully designed spaces and absolutely beautiful events. This is actually a rehearsal dinner that was inspired by the gorgeousness of a winery that would be just as beautiful for a wedding design!

There are so many reasons I love this wedding. The flowers, designed by Holly Flora, are PERFECTION. The tables are whimsical, they are interesting, they are unbelievably gorgeous. There is something sweet and approachable about the style and yet you know that so much thought went into every detail. Beth Helmstetter is all together fabulous and I am just thrilled that she sent...
This wedding is going to make you fall out of your chair. It's definitely one of the prettiest little events I've ever seen and there is a chance that it is now topping my list of all time favs. Beth Helmstetter is the genius behind the day and although the bride and groom would rather not have their picture up, the details alone are enough to induce jumping, whooping and more high kicks than you would ever think possible!
Thank you so very much to Beth Helmstetter for sharing today's stunning wedding with us. It's prettiness taken to a whole new level. Love that.
And of course to Angie and Brett! May you have many, many years that are as blissfully beautiful as your wedding. We are so happy for you!
