I am so excited to write the third issue of our "An Inspired Affair..." series. This wedding is one of the most gorgeous weddings that I have ever seen. Seriously.
The dream team that helped us create this inspiration board, was none other than Lisa Vorce at Oh How Charming! and photographer, Elizabeth Messina. Have you ever seen anything like...
Being in Elisabeth Warman's insanely cool letterpress studio, Black Pearl Press, a few nights ago was perhaps the highlight of my week. Okay, my month. Maybe my year, but I don't want to embarrass her. Elisabeth joined Moria and Megan, of MFlynn Jewelry, and myself for dinner this past week. But before we left, we spent some time poking around her studio, devouring all of the gorgeous designs...
A couple of nights ago, I had the pleasure of meeting two of Boston's finest...sisters Megan and Moria Flynn of MFlynn Jewelry. They were sweet enough to invite me to grab a bite near their studio and I am so glad that I was able to go! First, let's talk about the goods.
Megan and Moria work in the cutest part of Boston, in this amazing building that is literally overflowing with artists, designers and otherwise creative people.
How much do you love this wedding that was shot by Nicole Hill and featured on her blog, A Little Sussy (such a cute blog by the way)...

I love the top left photo that Nicole pointed out...the clothesline (and wheat grass patch) covered in pictures of the couple. And, how adorable is that bride?! It just seems like such a sweet, happy day. Nicole also has some great wedding...
I have received so many emails about yesterday's style board. And lucky for us, Erin (the bride), has been sweet enough to offer her top ten tips for creating a beautiful, but budget friendly wedding! Even better, we have a few more photos to share!
From Erin...
My complete #1 was remembering that I was going for a vibe - and that that superseded getting wrapped up in lots of little details, that quite frankly no one (including me) would remember.
But...
To me, there is nothing sweeter, than seeing the perfect wedding of a Style Me Pretty reader. Knowing that Style Me Pretty is inspiring you to not only create the wedding of your dreams, but to do so while still having fun...well, it's humbling, to say the least. So of course, when Erin sent me pictures of her recent Brooklyn, NY wedding, I literally got tears in my eyes.
Believe it or not, Erin and her fiance put together this drop dead gorgeous affair for...
I am FINALLY ready to announce the winner of the Jessica Rust Contest. The question was...how has the Internet, specifically blogs, changed the way that you approach your own wedding?
And the winner is (drum roll please)...Julie! I will be honest, it took me a really long time to choose a winner. Everyone's answers were so true, and so well said. And many of them had similar sentiments, each worded slightly different. To me, that means that Style Me Pretty along with the other...
Doug McGoldrick, a wonderful photographer out of Chicago, has been great enough to put together a style board for us that I really wanted to share with you...
I absolutely love the detail shots that he's captured here. Those origami place cards are,in a word...amazing. He manages to capture each event with this perfect combination of beauty and emotion...with a bit of humor thrown in for good measure. Definitely check out...
If you thought yesterday's food looked amazing, please feast your eyes on these little masterpieces...
Taste Catering & Event Planning in San Francisco specializes in perfect, magazine worthy food that I have literally been drooling over all morning. Little bites like Ahi Tuna Tartare served in tiny cones with Tobiko Caviar, Lemon-Ginger Prawns sauteed in White Wine, Fresh Ginger, Lemon & Garlic, Mini Mu Shu Bundles...
First of all, I am so sorry that there were not any posts for you yesterday. I was actually in New York for the morning and ended up sitting in six and a half hours of traffic on our way back to Boston. So, I couldn't get anything up for you guys! Hopefully, the weekend posts will make up for it.
You know, I very rarely talk about food on this blog. And to be honest, I don't know why. Aside from the fact that I am a huge foodie, I also really believe that good food and good drinks...
Laura is a classic...with a twist. She is one part tradition, one part hip-girl-next-door. We've recently infused our Laura collection with a fresh new color palette of kelly green and pure white. What was a really sweet invitation before, is now a bit more contemporary. I love the simplicity of this look paired with such a vibrant color.

The woman behind the gorgeous photos on today's inspiration board was none other than Lisa Leigh. She is one of the most talented photographers around, able to capture that perfect smile, that perfect kiss, that perfect detail that makes a wedding so spectacular...
Please look at these detail shots! They are truly inspiring...I have totally fallen in love with...
First and foremost, thank you all so much for the amazing comments on yesterday's post. For those of you that haven't had a chance, please do submit your thoughts. There really is no wrong or right answer, as the question applies to everyone differently. Next week, I will tell you guys why I wanted your feedback on this very important question.
For today, though...we are having the second edition of our "...
A few months ago we posted about the amazingly talented Jessica Rust and readers went absolutely crazy for her work. Since then, I have seen Jessica's designs all over the place...Grace at Design*Sponge mentioned them, Poppytalk Handmade features them on her web store, Jennifer over at...
I have been a long time admirer of Jonathan and Whitney over at Brown Sugar Design. Their work is always so fresh and unique, each piece perfectly coordinated, without seeming overly matched...

I have also become a daily reader of their design blog, where some of their more recent work makes it onto the pages. How completely chic is the lemon...
It's official. The day is shot. I have spent a solid four hours pouring over one of my favorite sites, Etsy. What I love about this site is that not only can you find tons of handmade wares by indie designers, you can also find some pretty amazing collectors items that are absolutely perfect for your wedding decor. Take these "vases" for example...
Top Row:...
My day is being wasted scouring Etsy for more fun reception decor ideas (thanks to the oh-so-cuteness that is happening at Small Stump). So, rather than feeling bad about it, I am just going to call it market research and pass my finds along to you. These are journaling tags that would be so cute as table cards!
If you punched a hold at the top, then hung them...
My best friend Katie, whose getting married in a couple of weeks, decided to do centerpieces based around those perfect birch bark vases by Small Stump that OhJoy! featured a while back. They are amazing. Well, as it turns out, the whole world thought they were pretty amazing too and they sold like hotcakes. Katie eventually found a set on Ebay, but has been...
Continuing on with Blog Action Day, you should definitely check out Polkadot Bride...
She has some great ideas for having an eco-friendly affair, along with some fun resources for green entertaining that I had not seen before. Although most of the companies listed are based in Australia, they are still eye candy and are good for a few hours of inspiration.
Also, if you haven't already, definitely check out...
There is a lot of fun stuff happening in the blogosphere for Blog Action Day...
