You heard it here first folks: Aaron Hartselle is an event styling genius. His ability to turn a mediocre space into one that is dripping in the prettiest of pretty that ever existed never fails to both shock and amaze me. Captured by Bess Friday, this gorgeous dinner party is one I am deeply saddened to have missed. ...

I've said it many times in my day, if there was ever a city where I could see myself being perfectly happy, it would be San Francisco. Not only is it a breathtakingly beautiful place, but it also happens to host some of my favorite weddings ever to grace the pages of SMP.

When it comes down to it, a wedding is about the L-O-V-E. Sure, we go crazy for the prettiest of bouquets or a stunning pair of shoes, but above all else, we adore that spark between a newly crowned husband and wife or that melt-your-heart kiss after the vows. It's these moments that make a wedding and our last installment of the day is toting so many of these warm and fuzzy snapshots along with a big dose of Fun (with a capital F). ...

I have one very serious case of wedding envy for these darling San Francisco nuptials by Gladys Jem Photography.  And, believe me, once you take a peak at every last ounce of pretty below, you won't blame me one bit... because not only was this stunning affair held at a romantic park called Shakespeare Garden (plus the fabulous Epic Roasthouse), but it's also brimming with lovely...

San Francisco's City Hall might just be the most perfect ceremony venue I have ever seen.  It's elegant and classic architecture make it an extraordinarily elegant and romantic backdrop for any set of lovebirds but when those two sweethearts are as cute as these two?  Forget about it!  I could just burst with giddiness and delight!  Her ridiculously adorable tea-length dress, bird cage veil and sassy blue pumps and his debonaire suit were made to stand against that majestic, gilded...
