"Blue Plate"

Chicago has chic down. That's not a question. But this adorable couple took that Chicago chic style and added their own dash of cuteness, making for one personality-filled party at the Chicago History Museum. The best part? We get to see the ahh-inducing day unfold thanks to the talented Melissa Hayes Photography, and you can do just that...

Layers and layers and layer of gorgeous. I think that is the best way to describe this seriously breathtaking affair captured by Studio Finch. It's a cultural beauty that was spread out over a couple of days - which means inspiration multiplied for us. Days filled with stunning gowns, tradition and unmistakable love. Basically we couldn't love it more, and it can all be found...

When we at SMP come across a wedding like this one, we just have to stop. Stop all of the business of our days and steal a minute to take it all in. To soak up all of the warmth and shine and glimmer and love that comes through our screens as we get lost in the gallery. And oh, that gallery. Every image from...

I sometimes forget just how much I love vibrant colors.  Then I see a burst of brightly-hued details pop up on my computer screen and I remember instantly.  Needless to say, this gorgeous Chicago wedding had me at "pink, purple and orange" and has been tugging at my heart strings ever since with some seriously breathtaking florals by ALD Shows + Kim Schiller and some uber-chic contemporary details.

Every wedding tells a personal story and this celebration by Gerber + Scarpelli tells a very unique, happy and stylish one. I've never been a fan of wedding cakes either, but I'll tell you what I am a {huge} fan of . . . doughnuts. So when I saw that Beaver's Coffee + Donuts rolled up to this reception, I couldn't help but give an approving nod to this...

Talk about total kismet! The story that inspired this couple's key themed escort card display is too good not to share. When the groom gave his bride a key to his home while they were dating, she learned shortly after that the key opened her front door in California. They had identical locks and keys! Their love is certainly one in a million, and their wedding was a gorgeous celebration of it. Homemade guest gift favors, DIY paper decorations, and seemingly endless amounts of delicious food...

It's official. I've found my favorite venue in Chicago and it's called The Rookery. Have you seen it? It's an amazing little bit of architectural history and makes for the most beautiful backdrop for your wedding. This adorable couple fell in love with it the very first time they saw it and just knew they had to get married there. Olivia Leigh Photographie captured each and...

Oh, Shane Welch Photography.  We owe you a really, REALLY big thank you.  Because not only did you add some serious sunshine to our Wednesday morning, it's a sunshine that happens to include some pretty yellow hues, beautiful blooms by Scarlet Petal and a could.not.be.cuter bride and groom.  And, well... that's the best kind of sunshine there is.  And the gallery...

Settle in because you are in for a gorgeous albeit insanely long post. You see, Kina Wicks takes really pretty pictures. The kind of pictures that tell a tale of one very lovely couple and their garden-inspired affair at Cafe Brauer. They also are the kind of pictures that are too gorgeous to edit down. Read: I made seventeen boards and could have...

We can't thank Five Grain Events enough for bringing us this stylish soiree that is traditional with a twist. And who doesn't love a little twist in their tradition? We happen to be head over heels for it, and when it all goes down at Salvage One with a couple that couldn't be cuter and an event designer as talented as...
