One of my very favorite artists, Jessica Rust of Rust Designs, just released her newest product and I HAD to share it with you!!
Isn't this new gold accented line just beautiful? I have been a huge fan of Jessica's since my dear friend Cat of Cat Seto introduced me to her work about a year ago (as a side note, Cat has a GREAT blog you guys should...
I have a few more images from today's James Abel wedding to share with you. If the insanely gorgeous cake doesn't send you over the edge, the beautifully designed tables DEFINITELY will!
Thank you so much to James Abel for sharing this beautiful wedding with us! Please congratulate your brother from all of us at Style Me...
One of the most spectacular elements of this wedding is the flowers. I wanted to separate the floral images out from the rest of the event to show you just how beautiful they were...
I am a huge fan of using monochromatic hues, with smaller floral bunches placed in a ton of different sized vases. It brings a depth and dimension to the table that gives the impression of decadence and abundance. The different shapes and textures (like those amazing floral balls placed in...
One of my dear friends (and one of the best florist/event planners out there), James Abel of James Abel Events, sent me some pics from his brother's recent wedding that he designed down in Austin, Texas. If yesterday's wedding was unique and edgy, today's wedding is sweet sophistication at it's finest...

Last week we featured an absolutely awesome real wedding, shot by Jessamyn Harris. Since I had such a positive response from the wedding, I wanted to post a few more details AND a note from the bride about her inspirations and ideas!
If you missed the original posts, you can check them out here and...
I get a lot of emails from wonderful designers all of whom are creating beautiful elements for any wedding. But honestly, I only pick those that I truly love (and that I know you will love) for features on SMP. When Christine of Yellow Owl Workshop emailed me (just yesterday) some pictures of her absolutely gorgeous, handmade journals, I stopped the presses on our weekly schedule to show you these little works of art...
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
I have been really excited to tell you guys about the brilliant new registry feature at Bodanna Studio and Gallery...a non-profit organization that provides at-risk young adults with a place to thrive creatively and gain workplace skills through a handcrafted ceramics business. The talented artists at Bodanna put together this beautiful inspiration board for us, all inspired by their gorgeous...
I am traveling to Houston today to visit the fam, but I wanted to leave you for the week with ONE GREAT POST. Tara Andrews, a wonderful jewelry designer whose work is sold on Etsy, is looking for a little help in launching her new line of bridal jewelry. Pearls specifically. Absolutely gorgeous pearls...
Tara has a few questions that she is hoping you guys can tackle. As a...
Today's brilliant featured wedding was photographed by one of my favorite photographers, Jessamyn Harris, and I wanted to really encourage you to check out her website. It's filled with unique and interested wedding shots, many of which will inspire you to no end...
Thank you so much Jessamyn for sharing all of these lovely images with us!! We can't wait to see your...
Here are a few more photos from today's featured wedding shot by Jessamyn Harris...
I have to say, this is one of the best weddings that I have seen lately...it's so very important for couples to infuse their wedding with their own unique personality and perspective. This wedding does just that...and with style and elegance to boot. I love the juxtaposition of the traditional, elegant elements with the edgy, spirited...
One of my favorite photographers, Jessamyn Harris, sent me this wedding a few days ago...needless to say, I went completely nuts. This is the perfect example of a fun loving couple, infusing their personalities into otherwise elegant affair. The end result is a wedding that screams fun and yet is still oh-so-chic...
Event Design was done by the lovely and talented Alicia at...
For as long as I can remember, I have loved classic black and white wedding photography. There is something so timeless, so sophisticated about the perfect black and white shot...many times, it's the black and whites that convey the pure emotion of the day. They are dreamy and romantic in that chic and artistic way.
Lucky for us, one of my favorite Little Black Book members and Toronto based photographer...
Over the last five or so years, I have seen so many different styles of weddings...black tie dock-side ceremonies, champagne and chocolate affairs in contemporary art museums, barns decked out with crystal chandeliers. There are so many different types of couples out there, planning so many different types of weddings. It makes my job that much more interesting and that much more exciting.
To me, wedding photography should reflect the unique style of your wedding. When Teresa, one...
Now that we have literally TONS of inspiration boards on our site (yay), I am dying to see how some of these boards translated into real weddings. If you think that your wedding translated beautifully from your board, or if you think that your board might have missed the mark a bit, we'd love to hear about it! Just shoot me an email at abby@stylemepretty.com
We have one last board for you today. This one, designed by Maia who will be married this October...

This next reader designed board comes from Christine, who is having a Summer wedding in Alberta, Canada...
From Christine... My fiance and I are getting married June 7 in our hometown in Alberta, Canada at an old school that has been converted into a museum (see pic mid right). We really wanted to create an atmosphere that was unique, fun and inspiring with lots of surprises. We've been to A LOT of cookie cutter weddings and definitely wanted something different. We're...
Since we have been celebrating the incredible creativity and talents of our readers through Ameleah's real wedding, I thought it was appropriate to feature some of your latest inspiration boards!
The first was designed by Hailey, who is having her wedding at the peak of Fall foliage season this September in upstate New York...
From Hailey...
The reception will be in a large pavilion overlooking the beautiful Adirondack Mountains. I am so excited for...
I have had so many requests for additional photos of Ameleah's flowers, I thought that I would gather them up from previous posts and put them together so that you could see the overall style of the floral decor. Ameleah has also supplied a few more images for us, as well!
Thank you so much, Ameleah, for sharing this incredible wedding with us! I think that you have found your calling as a floral and event...
I thought you guys might like to hear a bit more about Ameleah's wedding...
From Ameleah...
We saved a lot by thinking outside the box when it came to finding our ceremony and reception locations. I wanted an outdoor garden wedding. We looked at a lot of venues, but most had steep site fees and none of them really wowed us. My husband's family offered to host our ceremony in their back yard and it was perfect, a beautiful, personal location with no site fee! We...
I really wanted to share a bit more from Ameleah's gorgeous and affordable wedding. For those of you that are dying to know how much this wedding cost and what exactly "budget-friendly" means...well (drum roll please)....Ameleah planned and executed this stunning wedding for a grand total of $12,331.
And just look at the sheer beauty and the chic style that she designed...it could grace the covers of any major bridal magazine!

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I love to start off our week by featuring a reader's real wedding...for some reason, the creativity and approachability of the weddings that you guys create just completely inspires me for the week. So, that is just what we are doing today!
Ameleah sent me these pictures from her July wedding...brace yourselves people, this wedding is STUNNING...
The sweet but sophisticated color palette, the dreamy ambiance, the...
