A wedding resulting from a chance meeting at a bar is something I know all too well. (Shout out to my hubs, Mr. Lepperd!) And you just know with a movie-esque start like that, the happily ever after is bound to be picturesque. With the help of Strawberry Milk Events and Jodi Miller Photography, this happily ever after was translated into a chic, black tie...

When Jen Fariello sent us this intimate wedding at The Clifton Inn in Charlottesville, Virginia , I have to admit I had a really tough time selecting the pics to use in the feature. You see, this wedding isn't just about the marriage of two people. It's the story of a family joining together in a quiet place, with the realization that none of their lives would ever be the same.
I may be able to create image boards in my sleep at this point but for this wedding, the images literally took me hours. Each and every photograph by Angelica Glass is so gorgeous, so layered I wanted to publish them all. Just a whole line-up of ninety nine crazy beautiful photos. Which I thought about. But then what would be the fun of the gallery? There you...
Fall has this way of making me want to bundle up in plaid blankets, gather round the fire and eat my weight in s'mores topped off with some steaming apple cider. Clearly I'm not alone because this inspiration designed by Jennifer Carroll is my cool weather aspirations realized. It has all the trimmings for a memorable get together, roasted marshmallows included. And even if you don't have a knock-out of a backyard spread or an...
I want to marry this gown. This Jim Hjelm gown with it's many delicate layers, full skirt, and amazing top. Seriously. A gown this fabulous simply must be worn to a stunning wedding. Done and done. Jen Fariello Photography sent over a day worthy of the dreamiest gown on the planet and it has been total chaos in the SMP offices since setting sight on...
I usually don't like to compare, but this Virginia wedding, as seen by Holland Photo Arts, has more elegance than all the dance chapters of any Jane Austen novel ever (and that's a whole lot). The soiree, designed by Easton Events, is perfect for this beautiful couple - filled with amazing flowers from...
I know this isn't the first al fresco affair to grace our pages and it definitely won't be the last but my oh my does it have our undivided attention. From the beautiful blooms crafted by Pats Floral Design to all of the lovely garden-esque details by The Event Company and right on through to a few of the most adorable flower girls we've ever come across, this has the SMP...
Is anyone else having a hard time believing we're more than half way through July already? Wedding season just seems to fly right by us, every single year. You blink and it's gone. And I'm sure it's because of quintessential summer weddings like this Charlottesville affair. Weddings like this, featuring fabulous florals from Pat's Floral Design, bright sunshine, and an adorable bride and groom go hand in hand with summer like peanut...
Where, oh where, to begin? Not only did this next bride rock a fabulous vintage blue dress on the big day (Yes, blue!), she glammed it up at a Roaring Twenties style soiree that would make the Great Gatsby himself jealous. All captured magnificently through the lens of Jen Fariello Photography, this wedding is, to borrow a phrase from the 1920's, the bee's knees. And, lucky for us...
Perhaps I love this Parisian inspired photo shoot so much because I'm French. Or perhaps I love it so much because I could live off of bread and cheese. And cake (especially the amazing ruffled one below). But I'm sure the real reason I love it is because of the amazingly talented artistes of Millie Holloman Photography and Salt Harbor Designs. Without their brilliant...
