I wanted to share a few more pictures of the gorgeous Southern wedding that we featured earlier today...
Lisa, of Bella Rose Photography, has been sweet enough to share some of the details that went into this beautiful event...
"The wedding of Amy and Angelo took place at Orton Plantation (www.ortongardens.com). The property...
How beautiful is this sweet, Southern wedding, shot by Bella Rose Photography...
I have to say, there is something utterly romantic about a classic Southern Wedding. I think that it's the perfect blend of tradition and beauty that creates a sense of warmth and approachability, while still letting guests know that they are attending a truly special evening. This wedding in particular, is stunning. The vintage touches add a sense...
One last question for the day!
Q. I hope you can help with some ideas for how to incorporate a wedding party into the ceremony. We have our immediate family standing in the front with us but where does the wedding party go? There are some family members that we definitely want to sit in the front rows but I also don’t want to overcomplicate this production. Also, have you ever heard of not having the party walk down the aisle but rather come from both sides of the room and then...
Another reader question for you guys to tackle!!
Q. I am wanting to have a 1940s wedding theme. I am having my reception at an unconventional place because of budget, and I plan on hiring a wedding planner to help with converting this place that will place people in that time.
First things first, I am planning a wedding for 2009, no rush. I like the 40s swing era, because I love dancing and it is so fun to swing dance, even if you are not a pro. I am very flexible on the...
It has been FAR too long since we've done a Dear Abby Session. I have some great reader questions that I want to share with you today with the hopes that collectively, we can help solve some wedding day dilemmas.
Q. So...here's my dilemma. I work for Rebecca Taylor and want to use something from our collection for my bridesmaids. I fell in love with a certain dress that was almost the right color, which I thought would be fine, but now it's driving me crazy. Now, I know that...
After spending the morning pouring through the Alice Charlier Events site, I have decided that these two tablescapes are my favorite of her online designs...
This first design is so lovely...a table that I would want to sit at for hours, eating warm french country cuisine...surrounded by candlelight, laughing with friends and family. This look is so dreamy and so romantic, and yet completely doable.
This...
These mirrored cube vases can be found at Red Barn Mercantile.
Simply sent an email thru the online website to inquire about price, availability and purchasing. Thanks so much to Laura Dowling for sending us this great tip!!
Here is the tip that Laura provided...
Mirrored cubes and pedestals are all the rage in Paris right now and provide the perfect foil for flowers and candles. I spotted chic...
Alice Charlier, an event planner based out of Los Angeles, just sent me these magazine-worthy images from a recent eco-friendly wedding that she did...
I looooove the use of mason jars and tin cans...somehow, Alice manages to make everyday objects seem chic and dare I say, expensive? The best thing about these table details is the cohesive way that each object is brought together. Alice uses essentially a hodge-podge of...
I wanted to share with you some of my FAVORITE images from the oh-so-talented floral designer that we have been featuring today, Laura Dowling...
How incredible are these arrangements? They are honestly works of art, done in such a fresh-from-the-garden, but-incredibly-elegant, almost-regal kind of way. Her work is so approachable and friendly, but wonderfully sophisticated. Thank you so much, Laura for inspiring all of us today..
Here is a bit more from Laura Dowling, on Parisian Floral Wedding Trends...

I am beyond thrilled that Laura Dowling, of Interieurs et Fleurs, is joining us today to share with us the trends and ideas that she learned from her recent floral study trip in Paris. I am going to hand the baton right over to Laura, as I don't want to waste a second of time...

I absolutely LOVE this video clip that Chris Watson, of Watson Videography just sent me...a high def clip, from one of his favorite weddings...
Chris shoots his films using high definition, edited for wide screen...that means that your wedding day is essentially shot using the finest techniques, comparable to the high def movies that seem so incredibly real, you can reach out and touch the characters.
...
So, if Super 8 film is used to create that fantastic vintage feeling, 16 mm film is used when you want to acheive that same nostalgic feel...with a bit more clarity, color and richness...
Mason Jar Films also specializes in 16mm films and it's pretty obvious...they are incredibly talented cinematographers. What I really love about this format, is that it seems to be the best of both worlds...one part old vintage, one part beauty.
We are so thrilled to announce that TWO of our Little Black Book members, Watson Videography and Mason Jar Films, have both been named in the top 25 in their field worldwide, sponsored by eventdv magazine and voted on by over 21,000 video professionals. This is a HUGE honor for these talented vendors and Style Me Pretty is completely over the moon.
*Update...I just got some additional details from James Abel, the event planner for this gorgeous weddings, that I've updated in the comments section!
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I must say, I am a little slow going today, after a weekend in Naples, Florida for one of my dear friend's weddings. I can't wait to show you pictures of this event because it was, in a word, STUNNING. I am going to wait until the photographer has the proofs online, but I have to tell you that...
I thought that this inspiration board, created by one of our readers, was absolutely gorgeous...so "right now" but in that classic, forever beautiful kind of way...
I love the infusion of crystal into this palette. It makes the entire look sparkle. I would encourage the bride to find little ways to sneak in a bit of glitz. Since the greys and the yellows are generally kind of a matte look, the addition of crystal will turn a seemingly modern affair into a really special...
I am absolutely smitten with these vintage inspired photographs shot by Little Black Book member, Doug McGoldrick...
What a beautiful way to capture your wedding day...something that can be framed and admired as art. These images are so striking to me. They are elegant and timeless and yet still seem really intimate and touching. Almost as if we are looking into a...
One of our Little Black Book members, Grazier Photography in Boston, is doing something so unique in the world of weddings...I just had to share it with you.

A few months ago, I was approached by Get Married TV to do an interview to discuss wedding blogs and the importance of the Internet in planning a wedding. I was so flattered, as Style Me Pretty is just a baby in this industry! Well, yesterday morning (at the crack of dawn I might add), my interview aired on Lifetime! It's my first on-camera interview, so it was a big deal for me!
They are playing the full program online today over...
First, let me start by saying, I loooooove today's post! Renny Pedersen, of Bliss Weddings and Events in Chicago, emailed me some photos from a recent photo shoot collaboration with Hello Darling Events, for Bride and Bloom Magazine...she coined this look "Antique Chic" with a color palette of Cerise Pinks, Lemon Yellows and Metallic Gold...
