No matter which way you look at it, this wedding is a stunner. From the cliffside ceremony to the cocktails on the beach and right on through to the barn turned glamorous at the hands of Delicate Details and Toast Santa Barbara; this is a study in taking a rustic affair and infusing it with a whole lot of pretty. And that pretty that I speak of? It shines extra bright when...

I have two words. Holy. Moly. The light in this Los Olivos wedding is phenomenal, and Chris Humphreys Photography captured it in a way that has sent all of the SMP offices into a swooning fit. The soft sunset peeking over the mountains in the distance has highlighted the gorgeous couple, and accentuated their stunning soiree, in a way that is beYOND. Beyond. And there is even more...
With its classic Spanish architecture and succulent garden, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum is quintessential Santa Barbara beauty. It's not surprising that this couple knew at first glance that it was the perfect venue for their big day, but it is surprising that the stunning centerpieces were made by the bride and groom and their loved ones. Why? Wait till you see them and the...
A wedding that kicked off their marriage with a bang - that was this couple's vision of their dream day, and I would say they got that and SO much more. Because this al fresco affair planned by Platinum Weddings by Kerrie and captured by Christine Farah Photography is a stunner. Stun-ner. It's so much more than a bang, it's bright and vibrant and full of...
Michael + Anna Costa might need to enter the SMP Hall of Fame. The weddings that they send us are pinned, favorited and commented on like crazy with brides and grooms that are always madly in love, flowers that scream romance and a photographic style that is all together kind of delicious. So when we spotted this beauty, we knew...
The Santa Barbara Historical Museum is the perfect setting for an elegant outdoor fete with layers upon layers of organic touches styled by Jackie Blackwell along with gorgeous florals by Cody Floral Design. And we can't think of a more awesome photographer than ...
This wedding has my heart. And yes, I realize weddings grab at my heart all the time, but this one just does casual chic so well it REALLY has a hold on my ticker. With a dash of casual, a whole lotta elegant, and a smidgen of fun (hello airstream dessert table with treats from Enjoy Cupcakes!), my heart rate is off the charts. Jen Rodriguez Photography and...
We are going to end a day of lovely weddings with the end-all-be-all of floral gorgeousness. This Santa Barbara wedding literally took my breath away with its bright punch of colors and clusters of pretty petals from Florette Designs. Photographed by Attasalina Photography, we have a definite show stopper on our hands and there is even more to drool over in the gallery. Just...
Jill La Fleur is one of those wedding planners that always lucks out with the coolest weddings ever. Probably because she's a cool person herself so she naturally gravitates towards really cool brides. But more than likely it's because she's really good at what she does and manages to make every wedding look absolutely spectacular. Add in a designer like Mindy Rice and a backdrop...
This is the kind of wedding that every little girl dreams about...it's simply so pretty, you can't help but love it!
The oh-so-talented vendors that put this wedding together were...Katie Moos(the incredible photographer that sent the images to me, Rebecca at Duet Weddings, Pure Joy Catering, Hair and Make-Up by...
