If I could fly out to LA and give Meg of La Partie Events a hug, I totally would. Although that would probably scare her off. So, instead, I'll just tell her that we loved what she created for us today on SMP. The originality, the thoughtfulness of each design, the fabulous attention to detail and style...it's well, inspiring. To say the least. If you are lucky enough to live in the area and are looking for a planner/designer...
Today's inspiration has been crazy! I am so honored that Meg of La Partie Events was willing to go to such trouble to plan and design centerpieces that she felt would appeal to the Style Me Pretty bride. She's gone WAY above and beyond the call of duty but secretly (or not so secretly) I am thrilled! all photographs by Stephanie Kleinman of SDK Photo This centerpiece is for...

If you are just now joining us, you are in for SUCH a treat. The fabulously talented Meg, designer behind La Partie Events, has created a full day of inspirations and wedding centerpieces for us. Using goods that she found at IKEA (I swear, it's not IKEA ad, they just happen to have THE best vases at a reasonable price) and flowers she discovered at the LA flower mart, she designed a series of centerpiece ideas that can just as easily...
Okay, moving on to the next La Partie Events masterpiece! all photographs by Stephanie Kleinman of SDK Photo This one is a bit more traditional than the last, using flowers that are both feminine and utterly chic at the same time. Paired next to the somewhat casual yellow runner, the result is that perfect combination of timeless and modern. Love. Materials 1...

Love that. all photographs by Stephanie Kleinman of SDK Photo YUM. love the manzanita branch with the simple round...
Meg Fickling Pearson, the designer behind La Partie Events, just might be my new obsession. She's designed so many chic centerpiece ideas using really basic materials and flowers that she found that day at her local flower market. Here is her next creation... all photographs by Stephanie Kleinman of SDK Photo Loving the modern candlesticks paired with the elegant yellow lilies.

Before I show you the absolute gorgeousness that Meg of La Partie Events sent over, I wanted to share a few more pictures of her morning of shopping at the LA flower mart, as well as a few shots of Meg crafting the centerpieces for SMP. If you can't already tell, I am madly in love with today's feature...
And a few more bits of eye candy from Meg and SDK Photography...
When the fabulous Meg of La Partie Events sent me pictures of her DIY centerpiece ideas, I went absolutely nuts. She's submitted a handful of different ideas, all of which we are going to show today, each with their own unique style and personality. They would work beautifully whether you are planning to craft your own centerpieces or are just looking for a little floral inspiration. She started by spending the morning at the gorgeousness that is...

As a New Yorker I walk by the Ceci Store and dream of the amazing designs behind the beautiful second story storefront. I completely understand your love for their work! Unfortunately because of this crazy economy my wedding has been scaled back and the reality of Ceci invitations is no longer a...
A HUGE thank you to Artisan Events for sending us such a charming, totally original affair. It's completely refreshing to see a wedding that doesn't take itself too seriously, that is built out of love, celebration and great company. And of course, to Anna and Nicholas, for sharing their lovely day with us!
Remember, when you are planning your own affair...look to places that are a bit off the beaten path. Restaurants...
As a mom, I must tell you that there are simply no words that can even come close to describing the swirling emotions of my daughter's wedding day. I'm quite sure that Tait's mother would say the same. There are brief flashes of memories, moments that will live on in my very soul, forever. But had I taken a few moments to sit down with Abby's videographer on her wedding day, I think that it would have been a tremendous gift for her to hold onto, long after the actual day.
So, if you are just now getting your daily dose of SMP, we started the day with this super chic Canadian affair. Click here, here and...
I don't have a ton of details on this gorgeous wedding, but I just had to share it with you guys anyway. For me, it's the juxtaposition of the bare, industrial space with the chic black bridesmaids dresses and pretty pink flowers that really makes the look work. It's feminine and masculine, broken down and unbelievably elegant.
Artisan Events is the hugely talented photography studio behind these gorgeous images.
